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.

Hidden secret

Perfect for what we wanted being just a few minutes from Glyndebourne and for our spaniel. A delightful little hamlet.
Francis, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall lovely place to stay. Super friendly hosts

Absolutely stunning view sitting on the decking in the evening, very friendly owners and overall lovely place to stay. One issue that is perhaps a personal preference is that the fold out sofa bed mattress looked old and was quite thin so one of my children struggled a little.
gemma, 1-night trip

Beautiful country setting

The Hikers Rest is in a small cabin in a beautiful setting overlooking the owner’s lovely garden. Room is small but very nicely made up with all facilities you need.
EM, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything we wanted

Cosy cabin for a one night stay. Secluded, peaceful spot, lovely views, and very friendly hosts. Shower temperature control a little wayward but our compact room was spotless and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed. Lovely breakfast.
S, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Repeat stay

Regular stay now when visiting relatives. Very happy to return. Dog friendly too.
D, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Walking the South Downs Way as a solo traveler there were limited options when I booked so about 40 minutes walk from the trail. Really need a car to make the most of the property. Expensive for a one person stopover, breakfast also not available unless pre-booked. Very clean and good facilities though - just not ideal for me.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place

The cottage we stayed in was Beacon View and it was lovely. The view from the patio doors was just open fields with horses in then. The cottage was spotless clean and very warm and comfortable. We wiuld definitely stay again.
Michelle, 1-night trip

David and Val were very accommodating and friendly. Nothing was oo much trouble for them. We had a lovely room - and breakfast is fantastic! A return is definitely on the cards.
