The property is ideal for walkers on the South Downs Way and it’s only a 700 metre walk to the closest pub (via a safe bicycle path) for dinner.

Perfect peaceful Sussex getaway spot

We had the most delightful 48h in the Hiker’s Rest 1 budget cottage during our weekend at Glyndebourne and Charleston Festivals. Val and David were very welcoming and helpful. There was a communal fridge to store our picnic bits, easy parking onsite, and fabulous water pressure (never a given, even at luxe hotels!). We’re already planning our next visit.
