The Rathfinny Cottage

The living/dining room has a modern, uncluttered feel with a wood-burner, comfy chairs and plenty of books and games – it’s well thought-out inside with plenty of room for four. Both bedrooms are simply furnished and spacious, the master with a four-poster and doors onto a Juliet balcony with soaring views over the Downs; the other can be a twin or double.

The kitchen has plenty of prep space and all you need to whip up a feast, but if you want to spoil yourselves while you’re on holiday you can just nip next door for a delicious breakfast – smoked South Downs back bacon and a fried Burford Brown egg on sourdough toast, Loch Fyne smoked salmon, shakshuka, porridge with wildflower honey. The Flint Barns Dining room is open all year round and the locally-grown or sourced food is very good, not to mention their own Sussex Sparkling wines.

Join the South Downs Way from the door for wonderful walks.
