Sea Breezes is an ideal property for a small group of family or friends. There are 4 double bedrooms, 3 of which can be arranged as single beds (bear in mind the single beds are only 2'6" wide). The 2 shower rooms are nice and modern. We loved the decor and the quirky features in the property. The welcome pack and toiletries are a nice bonus. The property is ideally located for walks along the beach, the lagoon and the nature reserve. We didn't walk as much as we would have liked as we were there during storm Bert and it was extremely windy and wet! We had a lovely relaxing weekend and are...more

A beautiful place to stay in. The cottage had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. It was immaculate and stylish. The view up to Beacon Hill was amazing and the surrounding countryside reminded you of how England should look. The hosts Eileen & Chris were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely stay there again. Ditchling is fascinating with period houses it’s steeped in history. A tip you must have an afternoon tea at the Nutmeg Tree tea room.

Westfield Place has a huge feeling of space; not only inside, with the high ceilings, grand staircase and large reception rooms and bedrooms, but also in the large lake, lawn and frontage/driveway areas. Lovely mature trees, flora and forna. I recommend a longer stay to really get into and live it.

Mill Barn is all you'd ever want in a holiday cottage, and more. From the stylish and well-equipped interior to the beautiful garden and stunning surroundings, it really is a gem. Add to that a very kind and genuinely caring host, and you have a winning combination. I run private retreats and I see a lot of holiday cottages in the course of my work, and this really is as good as it gets. I look forward to returning with new clients in the future.

Huge living spaces and lots of different social spaces to choose from. The pool was great and a good temperature. A huge garden and lots of extra spaces to explore outside too. Everything was spotless. The kitchen was well laid out and no expense spared in terms of crockery / cookware / glassware. Especially liked the cocktail space! A great stay away and would book again.

We made a very last minute booking for a short break in Sussex to visit the Knepp Estate to spot the Purple Emperors, and it was perfect. The cottage itself is well equipped, spacious, warm, and very comfortable. We loved sitting in our own garden enjoying the flowers and wildlife, and Liz and Chris let us explore their beautiful garden.There are plenty of footpaths from the cottage, one leading to the local pub and vineyards.It's an ideal location for exploring the many villages, the Knepp Estate and the South Downs.

We had a fabulous week. Seaphare is really well equipped for 8 people ( we were just 5 ) with an upside down house (living on first floor, beds downstairs) that was full of light and made the most of the amazing views and was brilliantly located - 15 seconds walk to the beach (pebbly, but we prefer that) where the sea was fabulous ( just one rough day) and in no time at all you could be into the hills and cliff walking up and over to Seaford Head and Cuckmere Haven. Perhaps the only downside was people walking by and looking in and saying Wow what an amazing house . Anyway we had a fabulou...more

We were a group of 6 adults and 4 children and Sun House was a perfect venue for a break by the sea. The house was extremely comfortable and very well equipped with plenty of space for everyone. We were lucky with the weather so could spend a lot of time outside. Nearly all the rooms have fantastic views on to the garden and beach/sea beyond and there is a wonderful hot tub and garden summerhouse. There is easy access on to the beach with wonderful walks in both directions. We spent a fantastic day on West Wittering beach with all the children bodyboard surfing.

I booked The Lakehouse Apartment for my wife and myself to stay while we were visiting our daughter around 10 minutes drive away. It turned out to be an excellent choice and the accommodation suited us well. We were particularly impressed by the wonderful view of the lake in the grounds and local wildlife as well as the rural views. The owner lives onsite and was very helpful. The apartment is off the beaten track in a tranquil location and we would have no hesitation in re-visiting should we require accommodation in the area again.

Perfect house for a traditional family holiday in the sun. Beach was so near that we didn't have to plan for a whole day but could pop back easily, and catering was very easy due to the proximity of good local shops, restaurants and takeaways.
