Cottage vacation rentals in Lewes District

Really enjoyed our weekend away, great communication from the start. Quite and quirky cottage, so peaceful even though it's on a road, this wasn't a problem for us.. The hot tub was amazing.. A great extra to the weekend...☺️☺️

We had a wonderful stay at The Granary. The setting is exceptional and you feel like you’re in a historic hamlet in the middle of beautiful, peaceful countryside. The hosts were great, leaving us to our own devices but on hand and responsive if needed. The Granary has been expertly restored as have the other historical buildings on site and the grounds are beautifully presented. We had everything we needed in the property. We would highly recommend booking a stay. Don’t forget your swim wear - the pool and jacuzzi are fantastic!

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 4 nights in April 2025, 2 adults and 2 children (9 and 13). Fabulous stay, the cottage is lovely and tucked away from the road. The hot tub was a big hit and made the stay that little bit more amazing! Excellent host and a lovely cottage, we will be back.

We had a lovely stay for our mini moon with our dog. The cottage was beautiful and peaceful with everything we needed. The hot tub was on and ready for when we got there and we were even given fresh bread and eggs for breakfast. Even though the owners lived right next door we were left to enjoy our stay with no disruptions. The location was ideal with amazing walks nearby and plenty of pubs within a short distance. We can’t recommend this cottage enough. Thank you so much for having us.

This is such a lovely cottage and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved the pool room and had complete privacy throughout our stay. Our hosts were very prompt with communication and had provided us with everything we needed. We’d recommend this to anyone looking for a place to relax and unwind! Our hosts were very prompt with communication and had provided us with everything we needed.

Great stay. Everything was clean and would highly recommend. Clare was a great host being responsive and made sure our stay was exactly what we wanted. We loved watching the ducks. We would also highly recommend the lovely walk over to the cider tap for dinner.

We stayed at Badger’s Den for the bank holiday weekend. What a great place! The grounds are beautiful and well kept, the pool and spa facilities are fantastic and the cottage itself is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a weekend away. The location is peaceful and away from everything but you are close enough to the town if you need anything. Chris is a great host and couldn’t be more helpful, on hand with great recommendations to spend the weekend. We will definitely be back again

Excellent holiday cottage set in idyllic surroundings, each facillity Within the cottage were as described and we felt imeediately comfortable! Local restaurants were excellent so much so we eat out all week, so very well satisfied all round My contact at beachy head estate office (evie) was excellent in Handling our enquiries before and during our stwy, so Evie take a bow for a job well done

The cottage was immaculately clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and very good value for money. There are lots of lovely walks from the doorstep. The Plough was very good and just a few minutes up the lane. We chose to eat in on our second night to make the most of the cottage and views. We hope to return again, with bikes next time.

The house is very well equipped, the bedrooms and common living spaces are very cosy, the outdoor area looks onto open fields - great place to hang out and drink in the natural beauty of the surroundings - also great for enjoying the BBQ. Ruth provided a very clear and comprehensive guide with useful information about the house and appliances (even including which way to turn the taps in the bathrooms to adjust the water temperature!). The guide also included useful information about the places to visit, including restaurants and pubs. Each time I contacted Ruth with a question, she responded very quickly. I strongly recommend her home for a family and/or friends gathering!

For my first holiday away with my 2 beautiful children I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better stay. The cottage is beautiful, the gardens and surrounding grounds are stunning, simply a lovely place to be. We spent a lot of time in the cottage and use if the new fire pit in the evenings as it was so peaceful and relaxing. 2 main attractions for us were Pooh Corner with Ashdown Forrest for all your Winnie the Pooh adventures, and Hever Castle which is a lovely day out. Tennis courts and a lovely pool to boot ❤️❤️❤️ Caroline left some beautiful touches, some Easter treats for my children and a host of food and fresh juice, lovely 😍❤️

A charming cottage, so peaceful sitting in the beautiful gardens listening to the birds, bed was so comfy too

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at studio cottage as it was spotlessly clean, had lovely linen and towels, great dressing room, bathroom and kitchen which was well equipped for our requirements. The location was perfect for visiting local areas and the local village shop great for last minute purchases. Jackie was quick to answer any of our queries and accommodate our requests. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

A beautiful little cottage in a beautiful village. We had an excellent brief stay here - felt right at home and the extra little touches like the hot chocolate maker and some basics in the fridge showed great care and attention from our host. A wonderful little place to escape to!

Dot Cottage is a gem. Incredibly well located in Rye. Very close to everything yet very peaceful. You feel enchanted by the house even before you walk in. The decor has a quintessential English feel but very well done. Very considerate colour palette and you can tell that Catherine has put a lot of thought into every single detail. As a host, Catherine was very quick to respond to any query I had and very helpful. We visited a lot of her recommendations and they were all great. We had 3 amazing days in Rye. Thank you Catherine!

It’s honestly the first place we’ve stayed at I Reigate that felt homely and comfortable. The mattress was comfortable. The entire place feels warm. Well done David

It was such a lovely stay at Lucy and Nick! Everything was perfect and all the family so lovely and welcoming. The cottage, the surroundings, the animals, the region, .. I will come back soon for sure!

Sociana is a beautiful soul, we are very blessed to have met her and privileged to stay on her property. This is truly an amazing place with a secret history. But you just have to stay there and let Sociana tell you about tgat. Super highly recommended.❤️

Stayed at the accommodation while we attended a nearby wedding so location was perfect for us. The house was very well kept with a lovely outdoor space in the courtyard. Marion was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Booked to stay at Jane’s beautiful cottage for nearly a month, due to a water leak making my home not safe to live in. From the first enquiry, Jane has been amazing, she is so reassuring, friendly, welcoming and proactive. She really helped to ease me in this difficult time. The property is exactly as described on her page and it’s safe to say it is certainly a home from home. It had all the amenities I needed to live as I would at home, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the living room cosy and the garden is gorgeous for when the sun is shining. Plenty of parking for our cars and even more reassurance being behind a private gate too. Even my dog settled into this property quickly and made herself at home! Although I didn’t need them, it was nice to see a selection of local guides, booklets and maps in the cottage for those not familiar with the area. I can’t recommend Jane and her cottage enough, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to stay to anyone visiting the area!

We really enjoyed our Easter week stay at the The Long Stable. Andrew and his wife were very welcoming and supportive hosts. The location is idyllic, very quiet and private, even if other farm buildings are nearby you won‘t be disturbed and can make the most of the huge terrace. The cottage is very tastefully furnished and everything is to a high standard. All mod cons are available and the kitchen is fully equipped so wie could enjoy cooking ourselves as well as trying out some of the many pubs and restaurants within easy reach by car. You can stroll around the farm or nearby woods at your leisure, we particulary enjoyed saying hello to the newborn lambs one of which we were allowed to feed as well. The farm is ideally located to visit the coast (recommending Rye Harbour Nature Reserve), National Trust Sites like Sissinghurst or Bateman or simply enjoy the countryside…you really are spoilt for choice. We highly recommend The Long Stable and would love to return for a longer stay.

The cottage was a real home from home. Really important for us as we had to stay for two months whilst work was being done on our house. It was warm (essential in January and February), cosy, comfortable and extremely well equipped. John and Jane were thoughtful and helpful. After a very stressful few months we were able to relax and enjoy our extended holiday.

We had a excellent stay at Moatside Cottage. The location was beautiful, the cottage calm and peaceful, and very comfortable. It was also well equipped and we loved all the attentions (We used the guide for our walk at Devil's Dyke, played board games with the children,...!). We regret that we didn't have the time to attend the open gardens on Sunday, maybe next time. Thank you very much!
