East Sussex Homes for Two People

Rye Retreat

• 6 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Udimore, East Sussex

Sea views and a hot tub — need we say more? This dog-friendly stone cottage was once part of the late comedian Spike Milligan’s home and, while it can be rented alongside the adjoining cottage for larger groups, we think it makes an ideal self-contained retreat.

The Green Mill

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Westmeston, Hassocks

This pretty holiday home sits in the centre of Westmeston, a village at the foot of the South Downs. It’s a great spot for walkers as the footpath directly outside leads straight to the Downs, and there are plenty of other local walks to enjoy.

Golden Barley

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Ashford, Kent

Right on the edge of Orlestone Forest and a twenty-minute drive from the coast, this quaint bolthole has been plucked from the lid of a chocolate box. Your host, Caroline, has created a cosy, clever and modern delight of a home with a mix of rustic and mid-century furnishings.
