We bring a unique experience to all our guests in our cute cottage at Tovey Lodge which makes such a comfortable and convenient base to visit the area walk the downs and live it up in Brighton. You will relish the convenience of all the joys of the Sussex coast from Eastbourne to Worthing being within a few minutes drive time. Theres a lovely patio with outdoor furniture with a nice garden area and a second rather wild garden as well. All fenced in for dogs and kids to be safe.
We are a retired couple who couldn't bare to leave when all our 'kids flew the nest'. Rather than leaving this comfy cottage stand idle in a wonderful situation with beautiful surroundings we have invited people to join us here!
We are so fortunate to be in the South Downs National park with so much protected beautiful open space - great for walking cycling and all sorts of outdoor pursuits even having 11 golf courses with half an hour drive! History abound with many stately and historic homes and building nearby more than 10 National Trust as well as English Heritage, Sussex Archaeological Society and privately held sites all open for your visits. For culture we have a stunning recently reimagined Museum of the Arts and Crafts movement in the village as so many had been resident in the Ditchling 'artists colony', Lewes nearby has much to see and enjoy and Brighton is famous for its eclectic mix of high and pop cultural activities. All in all a wonderful place to live and to visit.
