We have a wonderful choice of holiday cottages in East Sussex, all within easy reach of the coastal resorts that the county is famous for. There’s bustling and colourful Brighton, great for shopping and with a superb choice of bars and restaurants. There’s genteel Eastbourne and nearby Beachy Head. There’s Hastings, with its fishing net huts and, of course the nearby site of the famous battle that saw the beginning of the Norman Conquest. There’s Bexhill-on-Sea, with its De La Warr Pavilion, a glorious Art Deco creation. And there’s Rye, a charming town near the south coast that is a haven for antique hunters.
On cottage holidays in East Susses there’s much to explore inland too, when you take one of our East Sussex cottage holidays. Garden-lovers should head to Sheffield Park, Great Dixter and Pashley Manor, three fabulous examples of the horticulturist’s art. The castles at Lewes and Bodiam are also well worth a visit. Walkers will enjoy Ashdown Forest, a large area of woods and heathland in an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty. And for a wonderful example of a picture-postcard English village, make sure you fit in a visit to Alfriston on your cottage holiday.
