A little bit of Heaven on earth
Try as I might, I cannot think of anything negative to say about Beacon Cottage, it being it pretty much perfect in every way. The location is lovely, the cottage itself was beautifully equipped and presented, with every facility. The icing on the cake for us were the hosts who were charming, generous, informative and always available to answer questions or resolve issues - not that there were any. All in all, an ideal holiday property to which we shall be returning given the opportunity.

Delightful stay in beautiful situation
We were met by the friendly and welcoming owners who showed us around the cottage which is attached to their house. The cottage is well equipped and most comfortable. We had full access to the large garden which is the owners passion. The location is a 20 min walk between the Ditchling Beacon and the Ditchling village and surrounded by good footpaths. Brighton is only a short drive away as is the train station at Hassocks. All in all making this cottage very well located, very comfortable - particularly the large double bed - and run by delightful friendly owners respectful of our privacy.
