This cottage is the perfect countryside bolthole; its sloping terraced garden overlooks the sparkling Bewl Lake. These breathtaking vistas of the quintessentially English landscape can be enjoyed from the various garden benches and the open-plan sitting and dining room. Here French doors open up onto a stone patio, where you can dine alfresco beneath purple wisteria blossoms. The cottage garden is bursting with fragrant flowers and herbs; this characterful farmhouse feel is carried indoors, where the interior is rustic and charming, blending wood tones with soft creams. Read a book beside the wood-burning stove, enjoy your morning cuppa on the Juliette balcony or soak your muscles in the standing tub after a long walk. This home’s location close to Seven Sisters chalk cliffs and Beachy Head makes it the perfect base for exploring Sussex on foot.
