Take a look at 5 of the very best holiday homes in our West Sussex collection. If these don’t meet your high expectations, then nothing will.
Millstone
Millstone, Plum Guide home in West Sussex, UK
Click to book Millstone now: from £399 per night A gorgeous period cottage on the banks of the millstream, Millstone puts you in the heart of a picturesque English coastal village. It’s incredibly quiet, with barely any sound other than the burbling of the stream and the quacking of ducks. And as it’s a smartly converted community hall dating back to the 19th century, it combines the charm of yesterday with the comforts of today. Walk to the end of the lane and you’re at the water’s edge where you’ll find gorgeous views of the estuary and the sunsets over the waterfront quay. For biking, walking and nature enthusiasts, the South Downs National Park is a fifteen-minute drive and the Wittering Beaches aren’t much further. And if you’re looking for a little more action, the market town of Chichester is only 10 minutes by car. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
A Quiet Place
A Quiet Place, Plum Guide home in West Sussex, UK
Click to book A Quiet Place now: from £190 per night This charming cottage with bags of character makes for a joyful escape from reality. It’s set on a large, seven-acre estate with a dramatic gravel driveway, but the cottage has its own entrance and is completely private. Inside, your hosts have created a cosy sanctuary with a comfortable, elegantly styled living space and well-equipped kitchen. The neat bedroom has a plump king-sized bed, with velvet cushions and layered blankets which push the snug factor up a couple of notches. In the rolling West Sussex countryside, this home is close to the Cathedral-spired city of Chichester, the cobbled streets of Petworth – with almost more antique shops than people – and the market town of Storrington. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Vanity Flair
Vanity Flair, Plum Guide home in East Sussex, UK
Click to book Vanity Flair now: from £750 per night The elegance of this five-storey townhouse along Brighton’s fashionable Portland Place evokes the glamour of the Regency era. It’s been immaculately restored, and the giant sash windows, wrought-iron balconies, soaring ceilings and marble fireplaces feel rightfully opulent. Yet this 200-year-old home is also a place of 21st-century tech. In the basement you’ll find a home cinema with 2.5-metre screen and Dolby Digital surround sound for brilliant nights in. Add to this the plush velvet sofas, cloud-like beds, roll-top baths and a sparkling kitchen finished in white marble (one of two kitchens in fact), and this home feels extremely indulgent. Families and friends will love it here, and since all beds are split kings, the sleeping arrangements are flexible. Located in fashionable Kemp Village, a pebble’s throw from Brighton Beach, the home is also excellently placed for eating out, drinking and exploring. In just 15 minutes you could be licking ice creams on Brighton’s pier or admiring more Regency architecture in town. Sleeps up to 16 | 5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
The Vines
The Vines, Plum Guide home in East Sussex, UK
Click to book The Vines now: from £180 per night Set in a modern building on a more traditional street, The Vines stands out in more ways the one. Helen’s hosting is really impressive, and the care that she’s put into the interior design here is obvious from the get-go. The surrounding area, known as North Laine, is a hub of independent artists, curiosity shops and cafes, so staying here really feels like you are experiencing the ‘real’ Brighton. It’s also very central, so not only does that make getting around very simple, but it’s also very easy to reach from London. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Strong and Stables
Strong and Stables, Plum Guide home in West Sussex
Click to book Strong and Stables now: from £95 per night These converted stables make for a peaceful, rustic escape. Whether you're planning country walks on the South Downs, a trip down to the coast or little more than reading in the cosy living room, everything here should be done at a leisurely pace. The home is set in seven acres of lush green land – yours for the exploring. Inside, it's a lovely mix of country chic and clean modern lines, with a feature reclaimed wood wall, comfy sofa and plenty of homely touches. It's only half an hour from Brighton by car, with some excellent pubs nearby, and if you're into wine, you'll be keen to visit the local vineyards. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
