“A charming converted farmhouse set in the heart of the 700-acre Seven Sisters Country Park. Five rooms are simple yet stylish, with polished wood floors, cast iron beds, and nice touches like freshly cut flowers. Homemade food is served in a candlelit dining room. A gorgeous rural hideaway.”

Hotel review

Comfortable and cosy, characterful and charming, this beautifully restored 16th century farmhouse is set in a most enviable position, Seven Sisters Country Park off the South Downs Way. It features an attractive garden, a pretty Scandi-style guest lounge with an open fire that you will loathe to leave, and bedrooms boasting a host of original features like wooden beams. Delicious breakfasts are served, there's the option for hearty, tasty dinners, and there's a cafe too for simpler meals. Kayaking and paddleboarding are on the doorstep, and shingle beach, forest and heathland walks lead to pretty villages with country pubs and inviting tea rooms.

Saltmarsh Hotel

This un-formulaic and under-the-radar restored 16th-century farmhouse off the South Downs Way is a wonderful place to switch off, slow down and re-set. Inside, there’s a stripped-back wholesome café and six serene rooms; outside, the Cuckmere river meanders in great oxbow loops down to the sea and Seven Sisters cliffs...
