Luxury self-catering accommodation in East Sussex
In this historic and scenic part of south-east England, watch boats bobbing in harbours, poke around the tiny towns, or take in lungfuls of fresh air on a bracing walk.
History and culture is threaded throughout the towns of East Sussex. For a luxury break, Waldron is a perfectly positioned base to enjoy nearby world-class opera, Glyndebourne. Get the children to pack a sword and shield and watch them playing and sandcastle building on all the nearby beaches. It's a maritime life for those who book an idyllic cottage in Rye, just a stone's throw inland with its olde-world streets, working harbour, and brilliant long beach at Camber Sands for shell-pickers and surfers.
For a nature-based break, book a beach house in Winchelsea, a reserve attracting wildlife-spotters and walkers alike. More hikes can be enjoyed along the South Downs Way, a great base for a luxury holiday home if you wish to work off all the local treats. And if fish and chips is on the menu, then a boutique holiday rental in the resorts of Brighton, Hove or Eastbourne will be ideal; grab a takeaway supper to enjoy in your luxury guest house by the sea.
