Highly recommended!

We stayed at the property to celebrate my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary- the house was fantastic and perfect for our celebrations. Lots of room but still very cosy with a lovely fire. The house is in a beautiful countryside setting - however Brighton is only 20 mins in the car and there are some lovely local pubs.

A characterful home from home, ideal for a group of friends
We had a wonderful weekend. The house and gardens were perfect for our group of 9 ladies who like the twin bed option in each room with bathrooms for each bedroom. The grounds are superb, the weather was fabulous. We enjoyed the outdoor games. The location is amazing with so much to see and do in the surrounding area. Ruth and John were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend The Mill. Thank you.

A chilled weekend at The Mill
We were a party of four couples. Three had an ensuite bedroom, whilst the fourth couple had a separate upstairs area with their own private toilet and access to their own shower room at the bottom of their staircase.
The owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions (before and after I booked).
The beautiful house and location worked perfectly for a group of mature adults. We had everything we needed for a great weekend break.

Totally brilliant South Downs holiday
Nine members of our family, aged from 4 to 73, enjoyed a wonderful week in this lovely house and its beautiful gardens. Ruth and John were excellent hosts in every way, we couldn’t be more appreciative of their kind assistance. We walked the South Downs of my grandmother’s family, celebrated birthdays in local pubs and restaurants, dressed up as knights in Lewes castle, rambled along footpaths and through shady woodlands, and loved playing inside and outside games when ‘at home’. The house provides spacious but cosy communal rooms as well as individual spaces in the many bedrooms and bathrooms. A totally brilliant South Downs holiday!

Delightful
We were a group of 3 couples and 4 children. The 3 en-suite bedrooms, and 2 other twin bedrooms with access to their own bathroom and toilet, was an ideal set up for our group. The hot water and heating worked a treat. We were concerned to read that the most recent review before our stay was negative. However all the appliances worked for us and we had a delightful stay. The dining table and living room seating suited us very well. The outside space was excellent with games for outdoors stored in the shed. The location was perfect, relaxing and quiet, being close to the South Downs and the south coast. Thank you Ruth.

Just the most wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday for 9 of us visiting from different parts of the globe. The Mill was beautiful! Warm, cosy and ideal for different age groups. We were there from 12/21 to 1/3 and still didn’t want to leave. Ruth & John (owners/hosts) were lovely. When we arrived there was a very thoughtful welcome gift (including delicious bottle of local Albourne Bacchus wine). Ruth had already asked exactly how we’d like each bedroom set up (double or twin), every bedroom had beautiful quality white sheets and bedding, each bathroom lovely thick white towels and everywhere was clean and comfortable, making it easy for us to maintain during our stay and with so many of us there. Ruth also organised for an interim clean/laundry change half-way through our stay which was great. We were able to organise a log delivery for the log burning stove and loved the opportunity to be altogether, as well as visiting our local friends and family, all our old haunts, pubs, restaurants and 14 days of family time. It was perfect, thank you Ruth & John

Perfect for group celebrations.
This property was just perfect for 10 ladies celebrating some big birthdays. There's not many properties that can provide 10 single beds (if required, check property details as can also be doubles) with 5 bathrooms, which was just perfect for our needs.
The grounds are beautiful, we even managed to play rounders at our age, and the local Vineyard is within walking distance, as is a Spa with a great restaurant for Sunday lunch.
Slight hiccup at the beginning regarding getting in due to a lost email, but resolved quickly and the host is nearby to resolve any issues and was very helpful before and during our stay (Thank you Ruth).
If you're looking for peace and tranquility in the countryside, but also want to have fun without disturbing the neighbours then this is the perfect house.
Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Christmas break
We were nine adults comprising my wife and me and our children and spouses plus my brother. The house was ideal for our needs with plenty of living space for and a well equipped kitchen to prepare some quite complex Christmas meals. The living room was perfect for our gift exchange on Christmas Day and had been decorated with a Christmas tree which was a nice touch.
The location was peaceful, and great for visits to Brighton and Devil'sDyke but close enough to Gatwick to be able to pick up two of our party who flew in from Spain. On bad weather days we were quite happy to stay in and remain cosy.
Overall we were all very happy with our stay and would gladly return providing our numbers don't increase to exceed the capacity of the property!

A few points
Strange set up of tv - located on top of wood burner so when we wanted to lite the fire we had to take tv off of fire. Tv was strapped on.
Grubby in places and oven needed a clean.
As we were there in December would have been nice to have a Xmas tree.
Lack of mirrors in bedrooms

Thank you for your comments Jeanette, It is such a shame you didn't mention any of your concerns to me while you were staying here so I could address any issues for you.
Just to go through some points.
The focal point of the lounge is the fireplace and the furniture is arranged to make the most of the beautiful inglenook. In the information we send you in advance of your arrival we ask that you let us know if you wish to light the fire so that we can supply you with logs and move the TV. When you requested it on your arrival we brought you the bag of logs and kindling and your group seemed happy to oblige with the TV seeing my husband had his leg in plaster!
With regards the Christmas tree, we normally put up our Christmas tree around the 11th/12th December and not the first week of December, that way it is still looking great for our guests staying over Christmas and the New Year period.
With regards the mirrors, we have had many brides and bridesmaids get ready for their big day at our house and we have received numerous comments on how many mirrors there are for them all to prepare!
We have had so many amazing reviews and lovely comments from guests over the past six years that your review has come as a complete surprise.
Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Ruth
We have lived here for over 25 years. We travelled extensively before settling here and absolutely love the area for it's beautiful countryside, lovely walks, lovely pubs and restaurants and country club but with easy access to vibrant Brighton and the sea.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We fell in love and with the cottage and couldn't believe we had found such a beautiful home. It has a wonderful garden with adjoining footpaths leading to the South Downs and it is great to be able to go for great walks without needing to use the car. We are also very well located with London an hour away by train and close to Brighton and Gatwick. The area has everything from beautiful country side, and pretty villages, close to the sea, the buzz of Brighton and so many activities - tennis, swimming, golf, riding, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
Walking on the South Downs with the great network of footpaths is one of the great pleasures of staying here. The local villages are a great pleasure to visit and enjoy their pretty cafés and interesting shops.There are some wonderful restaurants and cosy pubs in the surrounding area and a fantastic country club and golf club nearby.The short drive to Brighton where there are great walks/bike rides along the front,sailing at Brighton Marina or dinghy sailing and windsurfing at Hove Lagoon.Brighton has an abundance of cafes and restaurants,the atmospheric Lanes,theatre,cinemas,it's own wheel,and the pier. Southwater Country Park is another great place for walks, cycling, sailing, canoing.The Triangle at Burgess Hill has 8 lane competition swiming pool and fun pool with flumes,tennis courts.
