“A contemporary retreat situated on a stunning South Downs vineyard. The handful of rooms vary in size but all are cleanly designed with exposed stone sitting against white washed walls, cast iron beds and crisp white linen. With plenty of activities in the area this is the perfect rural escape.”

Flint Barns at Rathfinny Estate

This cosy retreat, perched high in a South Downs vineyard teeming with wildlife, has an emphasis on communal lounging and eating. It’s a fine choice for walkers and gatherings of family and friends and is just outside the historic village of Alfriston.

Flint Barns at Rathfinny Estate

This Sussex Downs hostel and B&B was built to house workers on the estate’s enormous vineyard, but there’s nothing basic about these digs – rooms are high quality and the scenery is superb
