We really enjoyed our stay, tea on arrival and a brilliant breakfast and very helpful knowledge about what was going on in the area. Julie was an excellent host and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending a stay in her lovely house right near the centre of Ditchling. Practical things like being able to park close by in a private garage was also helpful

This was our first Airbnb stay and Julie made us feel very welcome. The room was lovely and the home was in a good location. Julie was a very friendly host and was accommodating. We would recommend to other guests.

Lovely house, great hosts, wonderful breakfast.

Beautiful and immaculate room in a stunning house in the lovely Ditchling. Comfy bed, lovely bathroom, friendly hosts! Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Michelle was a lovely host and person! Extremely helpful. And the house was great as well. Quaint and comfortable! Thanks a lot for looking after us!!

Michelle was incredibly welcoming, and made us feel completely at home in her lovely cottage. The house had everything we needed, and is very convenient for the pub and shops. We were there for a wedding, but it's also right next to the South Downs, so a brilliant place to use as a base to explore.

We stayed at the cottage very briefly after our wedding in Ditchling. It was a lovely place, and Michelle was very helpful - she even dropped the keys at our wedding venue the day before, to help minimise hassle on the day. We'd love to stay again one day.

Lovely little cottage, in a beautiful area. The cottage was clean.

Lovely stay at Michelle's cottage, excellent communication and allowed us early check-in. Bed huge and very comfortable, cottage a bit chilly in winter!

Handy for Brighton and central in a lovely village. Comfortable and well equipped and warm in the middle of winter. Only downside is traffic noise at rush hours..

Lovely period cottage, very comfortable and well equipped and perfect for visiting all the attractions of East Sussex. Very conveniently situated for walking to the village pubs, cafes and shops and lots of country walks from the village. The only downside was the traffic outside the front door on weekdays during the day, but it was quieter at night and over the weekend and the courtyard garden at the back of the cottage was peaceful. Michelle was really friendly and helpful with suggestions of places to eat and visit, and was very welcoming to our dog.

Ahh - the beds - so very comfy and after a long day, they were a dream to sleep in! Ditching is very picturesque and this sweet cottage is next to a pub with delicious food, so all in all a lovely stay! Thank you Michelle!

Jane is a very helpful and gentle host, she made us like feeling at home. The location of her house is great as it's just 10 minutes walk from the train station :)

Jane was very kind, and was accommodating to my change of arrival time. I had a great nights sleep, and a breakfast to start the working day next morning. I would definitely come again if working in the area again.

Jane is a great host. We stayed with her for three days, and she always tried her best to make our stay a comfortable one. She had some food for us for breakfast and even did our dishes. That was too much to ask for. She let us stay in two rooms. Her home was nice and clean in a quiet neighbourhood, and the station was just 5' walk.

Bargain rates and central Hassocks location but unfortunately the cleaner had forgotten to change the bed linen.

The property is close to station and all amenities. There is no on-site car parking, but we managed to find a space on the street. The room itself is only just big enough for a double bed. The host is very friendly and eager to see that guests are catered for.

A very comfortable and well-equipped country cottage, with lovely views across the Downs. The host was very easy to communicate with - she met us when we checked in and made sure we knew where everything was. Very much recommended.

This is a beautiful home in a stunning setting. Perfect for walks and bike rides yet easy access to Brighton and Lewes. Welcoming and helpful host with plenty of information given. Thank you Eve for making sure our stay was perfect. Those views are unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Loved this countryside bolthole! Such a wonderful location!

Lisa, Thankyou so much for an amazing weekend. The cottage is styled immaculately in morrocan influenced Brighton chique. The accomodation is spacious, full of character and missing no home comforts including wood burner and fully loaded kitchen. The kids loved staying in the cute, renovated caravan in the nook of the English country garden. As our first airbnb experience I think it will be hard to live up to next time so we might just have to come back again !

Fantastic ! Lisa was on hand whenever needed and left a lovely hand written welcome note . Gorgeous house, very stylish, extremely well appointed kitchen, lovely garden- kids loved the caravan

This cottage is amazing, would definitely come back again. Lisa was a great host, although we didn't get to meet her she was easily contactable and answered all questions we had. The location is ideal, really easy to get to in a taxi from Burgess Hill. The cottage is full of character, clean and spacious. The caravan is a lovely touch too! Absolutely no faults.

There was a group of us staying at Lisa's as we were attending a friends wedding close by. The house was cool and quirky, and convenient for our stay. Lisa was very accommodating, responsive and a lovely person to meet and welcome us into her home. The location was peaceful and relaxing, and it is definitely worth a wander to the campsite in the wilderness. Thanks so much Lisa.

We did have a lovely time at Lisa's house in Streat. The setting is lovely and the kitchen is wonderful. But I was very disappointed and felt a bit ripped off really as the capacity of the house was not at all what was advertised. According to the listing page the house has 4 bedrooms, 6 beds (which at a minimum suggests that 6 people can be accommodated in beds) and accommodates 8 people. In truth the house only has 2 bedrooms, which are beautiful rooms with double beds, but those are the only bedrooms. The other rooms which one can sleep in are a small study, an inter-leading dressing room off one of the main rooms and a caravan. Lisa promised one double blow up mattress and 3 single blow up mattresses, but when we arrived she had just put a whole lot of pillows together in the study, so we had to arrange more blow up mattresses. On the understanding that there would be 4 bedrooms, I invited 5 adults and 3 children. It was embarrassing when I arrived and had to arrange bedding and sleep on the couch. We had a great time, but I felt ripped off. Also Lisa never sent me the details of how to get in to the property so when we arrived we had to wait for an hour before we could get hold of her to work out where the keys were.

Lisa's home is absolutely gorgeous. It is exactly like the photos, very colourful and beautifully finished. We had a fantatic time walking in the surrounding area and trying out the local pubs! It was perfect escape from London for the weekend, with my girl friends. Would highly recommend it for a lovely rural retreat.

Felt very welcome and was exactly as advertised

Very cosy house, perfect for relaxing in the countryside. Good sized kitchen and living room.

Julie and her husband could not do enough for us- tea an arrival and, even better, in the morning too! We really felt like part of the family. Their charming house was just as described and the perfect stay for a family party. If you want access to the beautiful South Downs way or to visit Brighton but not to to stay in the city, this is the ideal place!

amazing stay!! prefect for a night near brighton!

Lovely family home. Hassocks is a nice location. Everything you could need for a nice break. Chloe and nick great hosts.

Very Clean and welcoming house, we loved it. Great shower. Local shops within 2-3 mins walk. We loved and can highly recommend.

Our hosts were warm and welcoming and went out of their way to give us all the info we needed for our stay, even providing parking info for our Lewes bonfire shenanigans. The house is a gorgeous, comfortable family house, it looks exactly as the photos but is not so pristine that our pre teen boys couldn't relax and be themselves.I slept in the snuffliest duvet ever! It's in a pretty street with lots of families around, a shop on the corner and a great veggie cafe nearby. Perfect for our stay. Thanks.

Chloe was a perfect host. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated and we were even greeted with bread, milk, tea and coffee. Perfect location for Brighton and the South Downs.

Nick and Chloe were very courteous and friendly hosts. The beautiful and cozy house with a garden and terrace kept everything ready which could ask a family. The location is ideal, it is only 5 minutes walk to the station and nice cafes, yet still quiet and relaxing. London and Brighton are direct train and easily accessible. We would not hesitate to come back to California vacation!

We stayed at Nick's and Chloe's for a night. It was a lovely stay. We kinda regret that we didn't have more time to spend few more days in their place. The house was really clean and well-organised. Free parking is just a minute walk from the house. Hassocks train station, convenience stores and eateries are just few minutes walk away. Totally a home away from home. Happy to come back again and of course, we'll recommend to friends and families,

A beautiful, big, immaculate house with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We were staying as part of a big family group (6 adults and 2 children), and everyone was pleased with the accommodation. Nick and Chloe had thoughtfully left some bits and bobs for breakfast, and with a Londis (and a delicious veggie cafe) just around the corner we were quickly into our stride on the first morning!

Beautiful, quiet, comfortable, secluded place in a quiet corner of Sussex. Carol is an incredible host and very welcoming and accommodating.

Carol and her family were so welcoming and generous and went out of their way to make this stay in the countryside the best one ever!! We were treated as part of the family and would love to come back! The area is so nice and peaceful and the cottage very cosy (esp. the open fire) and authentic. You just have to experience this!

very friendly, was great, very good bed, follow the directions and it will easy to find. Highly recommended

Carol is a charming lady,a great host and very knowledgable of the area. The accommodation is very pretty and presents a great atmosphere. Excellent value and the family will make further bookings next time we are in the area.

Carol was super helpful and very welcoming, insisting I made myself at home. Nothing was a problem, even the fact I had to get up early to partake in a local biking event wasn't an issue. She asked me what I'd like for breakfast and was only to happy to get up super early and make me a lovely meal to well and truly set me up for my ride. Nice and quiet location out of the way. Large room, with a great comfy bed. No curtains in the room, but as I was up early it wasn't an issue for me. Great!

This beautiful house is in a stunning location near the South Downs Way. The rooms are beautiful and Carol is just fab - she is lovely and the breakfast was first rate! We were on a two-day hiking trip, and it provided the perfect overnight "pit stop". Highly recommended

Sometimes an airbnb experience reminds us that there is very much more good in the world than the media would have us believe. Staying at Stable Cottage with Carol was just such an experience. She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, kindly offering us a delicious supper as we had arrived too late to get a meal at the pub. We enjoyed her company so much as well as getting to meet her family and friends. The cottage with its walled garden, adjoining woods and views of the Sussex Downs is a delight. The beds were very comfortable and Carol provided wonderful breakfasts each morning. We wished we could have stayed longer and will certainly be going back.

Very responsive host, allowed us to check in early and was understanding when we accidentally took the key!

Great location for exploring the south downs, 20 minute walk from Hassocks station along a footpath. Nice airy flat with use of a great garden. Dawn was extremely helpful and responsive to our requests!

Fabulous accommodation in a great location. Great hosts.

Brilliant. Had a great stay here the accommodation was great, clean and inviting. Dawn responded really quickly and was very welcoming when we arrived. Would recommend 100%.

We enjoyed our brief stay at Dawns place... particularly the heated floors! Comfy beds and all the quality extras (including great tea and coffee). Thanks Dawn.

Dawn was very quick to respond to our queries. We were arriving late to the accommodation which wasn't a problem for Dawn. The accommodation was very clean and the beds very comfortable! The only slight improvement perhaps was that it wasn't clear re breakfast. A continental breakfast is provided at request but costs £8 per person. Overall a very pleasant stay and whilst we were out Dawn had tidied up for us and made the bed - lovely to come back to after a long day out! :-)

Great location next to South Downs way, good path to hassocks and opposite a decent pub. Great space which we loved. Shame there isn't a small cooking space but not a problem for one night

The annex was easy to find with plenty of parking. check in was straight forward. Very spacious inside, large living area with garden view and good bathroom. Plenty of coffees and teas to choose from. Thank you.

The Dairy was a fantastic cottage, quiet and comfortable. It has a very restful ambiance, where much attention has been paid to the tasteful decoration as well as to all of the amenities. Jinks is a most gracious host who lives in the main house and who met us upon our arrival, with a tour of the cottage and full explanations. There were fresh eggs, milk, a bowl of fresh fruit and cookies provided for us. The location of the cottage was exactly what we needed, situated in the countryside, but with easy access to Ditchling, Brighton, the South Downs and beyond.

The Dairy is a thick slice of real rural peace and quiet, comfy, cosy and wonderfully private. It's perfectly situated, within a short taxi ride from a train station but seemingly in the middle of nowhere: from the gate, hedge-lined paths lead in any direction you fancy following, under wide skies surrounded with birdsong. Inside is beautifully designed with care an flair: a large rustic living space with a designer kitchen, a modern bathroom and a homely bedroom tucked at the back of the property. Everything is brand new, works perfectly and is sparkling clean. Outside, the complex of beautiful buildings that surround it bring a sense of history but don't detract from the privacy at all. And all within an hour of Clapham Junction! Paradise.

We had a great stay. The cottage is lovely and full of character, and the surrounding scenery is just beautiful with footpaths almost from the front door. Very easy to do without a car as it's only a 30 minute walk from Plumpton station. Jinks and her husband made us feel very welcome.

Charming and welcoming, the words to describe both the hosts and their cottage. Carrie and Matthew are warm and friendly couple, the space is clean and cosy and very quiet - a bliss after London! I look forward to visiting them again and would warmly recommend the stay at the place.

Carrie is a wonderful host who gave detailed directions on how to get to her place and made sure I knew where everything was after I arrived. The Cottage is in a quiet, rural location, with a large comfortable bed and warm room.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Both Carrie and Matthew are really lovely and caring. They are very easy going and very accommodating, and make you feel at home. They were a pleasure to meet and I enjoyed our conversations over a nice cup of tea. There was an issue with the trains and they kindly ferried us to and from the train station. The location is peaceful and off the beaten track. It was lovely to meet their newly acquired chickens. Thank you both for your hospitality :-)

I stayed at Country Cottage for three days. The house is part of a spacious area around an old mansion, maybe it was the former gatehouse. It’s relatively basic standard but very interesting. Carrie and Matthew are social and will tell you incredible stories. Matthew speaks France, German and a bit Russian. Carrie is a teacher > good place for English lessons. I recommend the Country Cottage, especially for creative people who like near-natural lifestyle.

Cherry was warm and inviting, and really made me feel at home. The location was perfect for my pre-marathon night and very close to Preston Park & the train station with a beautiful view down into Brighton.

Ah Cherry was such a lovely lady to stay with! She was there to hand every time, very kind and just a very nice human being overall! She made me feel part of the family and made me feel very welcome. I would go to Cherry again if I needed somewhere to stay in Brighton for sure! The location is great too! There's a train station a 5 min walk from the house that takes you directly to Brighton station in 5 mins or less and there are buses 5-10 mins away to take you directly to the seaside. Thank you Cherry & family! :)

I really enjoyed my stay with Cherry and her family. They are very welcoming and helpful, and went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as possible. I stayed in the spacious chalet, that has all the creature comforts that you need, heating, kettle, own patio, and had full access to the house for kitchen and bathroom facilities. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely house, right beside Moulscombe station meaning increadibly handy to access Brighton city centre and the South Coast

Cherry and her son couldn't have been more welcoming and I had a lovely 2 night stay at her comfortable home. The location is brilliant. A 2 minute walk to the train station which takes about 5 minutes to get into Brighton. The trains are frequent and it's all very easy. I had a great time and I'd definitely stay again. Thanks Cherry!

Nice place. Very friendly host and helpful. Happy to recommend staying there

Cherry was really kind and sweet and she made me feel at home. It was really nice talking with her and she was very helpful. The room was also pretty comfortable and the location was good and linked to the city centre.

Home and perfect room at the top, I intend to return regularly to my visits to Brighton, Cherry thank you!

A lovely, peaceful and beautiful space to relax and unwind in. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here. Fascinating history with the Windmill and lovely spaces for the kids to play in while the adults can unwind by the open fire or in the truly stunning Granary space right next door. Very good and smooth communication with our host. Thank you!

The views, the windmills, the gardens and the fantastic entertaining spaces make this a very special place to spend a weekend. Everyone's jaw dropped on arrival! Everything about the house was to a very high standard, very clean and comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen was perfect for cooking for a group. There were trestle tables and tablecloths is storage which allowed us to comfortably sit down as a group for dinner each evening. Claire helped in every way she could before arrival and shared tips on the local area and facilities (and even kitchen supplies). On arrival, we were greeted by Simon from Jill Windmill next door, who took the time to show us around and to share lots of interesting history about the windmills and the house. It's worth mentioning that we did a really great walk (around 50 mins) around the back of the house, across the hills and down country roads to the family run Black Dog Hill Vineyard - where we spend the afternoon tasting sparkling wine in among the vines. Highly recommended! We all left Jack Windmill dying to get our next visit in the diary. We will certainly be back!

Fantastic house with incredible views, right next to two windmills. Only 50 min by train away from London (10 min by taxi from hassocks train station), this beautiful house gives you and your family/friends the perfect getaway to spend some quality time together. Host communication without trouble and delay and will definitely come again!

This is an amazing place to stay, truly breathtaking. Internally it is also well decorated, furnished, clean and really comfortable. We used this for a business trip but I could imagine it being an equally great venue for a family birthday get together. If you are looking for a place that is going to take your breath away and offer you a truly memorable break then I would definitely recommend this house.

I could not recommend the windmill more highly for larger groups looking for an inspirational space to get creative! Claire is a fantastic host who could not have been more accommodating.

Thank you so much for having us in your beautiful home, it was a joy! Claire and Jo were so communicative and lovely. Thanks again - would highly recommend!

Great Property in Hassocks. My friends and i had a wonderful stay. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the area. Suitable for a group or family.

The house was lovely, it's modern and convenient to local shops and amenities. Kathryn was fantastic at communicating with me and she even changed one of the children's bedding so it would be suitable for my child. It is a family friendly house with lots of room and a great backyard. It's very close to the train station but not so close that you can hear the trains. I would definitely go back and stay again.

A lovely home in a great location with everything you need within a few minutes walk. Great country walks 5 mins drive away and the coast 20 mins away. Very clean, airy and child friendly. Would highly recommend

This place is a great, simple, charming place to stay. It is in a lovely small village, which is about a £25-30 cab ride to Brighton. It is very clean. There is a nice garden and dinner table. All in all, would highly recommend if you are coming to this end of the woods. Andrew who dealt with Check In was very helpful indeed. A great stay.

It was a really good place to live. Quiet, clean and friendly and the price was really cheap. Lorna has been a really good landlady. I think if you math, quality and price, this is a perfect place.

Lorna was lovely and welcoming with great communication after booking.

Lorna was a fantastic host with an incredibly warm and welcoming nature. Her house is colourful and full of character, and her dogs nothing but excellent company. I would recommend a stay to anyone.

Very friendly

Cozy room, very clean and comfortable. Lorna is a great hostess, very helpful. I recommend highly!

I couldn't have asked for better accommodation. Kizzy, Lorna and the dogs have been wonderful hosts! Lorna made me feel home and welcome. After just recently moving to England that was very much appreciated.

So welcoming. Very straight forward. Super comfortable and great wifi. Couldn't have asked for more and great value.

Lorna was a wonderful host and a wonderful soul. Room was comfy - toilette right across hall. The dogs were well-behaved and loving. Lucy, Norbert, Zena, and Ollie each gave me time and affection. I felt like family! Thanks Lorna and everyone - I hope our paths cross again. 5 Stars!
