About this property

Countryside rural retreat with stunning countryside views for 4 with gardens

Little Friston Lodge is a luxury holiday cottage from Exclusively Eastbourne in the most delightful of settings - overlooking the stunning South Downs and perfect for those who appreciate a tranquil, idyllic location.

This picturesque holiday cottage is an annexe to a majestic country house, and guests can access the full expansive gardens and meadows of this historic dwelling, with access to public pathways directly from the grounds.

This Exclusively Eastbourne cottage is ideally located for wonderful walks and cycle rides, and offers access to a wealth of nearby attractions - from historic sites, such as Pevensey Castle, to the eclectic 'Lanes' shopping area of Brighton.

While the owners of the main house are on hand to offer advice if required, you have your own private entrance so can relax undisturbed if you prefer.

There are are two bedrooms sleeping up to four. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed and an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is usually a twin, but can be set up as a kingsize - so this is a great option for couples as well as families. There is also a spacious family shower room upstairs, and a downstairs toilet.

Downstairs, there is a large, open-plan living space with patio doors on to a private terrace with table and chairs enjoying wonderful countryside views.

The dining table is placed by these French doors, so even when dining indoors you have the perfect opportunity to take in the views.

The kitchen area is fully equipped for self-catering, with all the utensils you’ll need, plus washing machine, double oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and microwave.

The lounge has a wood-burning stove (logs provided), a TV, DVD player, iPod docking station and a Sonos WiFi speaker.

If you're on a cycling trip, you can store your bikes in an adjacent shed in the grounds.

There is private, off-road parking for two vehicles for the cottage. WiFi is provided, plus high quality towel and linen, and the owners throw in a few welcome goodies to get you started.
