This group of several terraced cottages, in a gravelled courtyard that previously housed milking sheds and stables, is to be recommended above all for its cleanliness, peace and quiet. The owner, Sarah Shaw, is always accessible should there be any questions, but is otherwise unintrusive. The setting is beautiful, below a stray limb of the South Downs on the edge of Lewes, and in the near distance the Downs proper stretch away. The cottages are near enough to the sea, but far enough away from the tourist traps. They are also very convenient for opera lovers visiting Glyndebourne; we even made a friend among the guests here on our stay and have already rebooked for another three nights so we can see La Boheme.
