Places to visit in Sussex

Spread across two counties and with the country’s newest National Park spanning its borders, Sussex lies along the south coast and is a playground for weary Londoners who want to get back to nature and recharge their batteries. Whether you’re here for a week-long stay in a luxury cottage or are looking for great days out or weekend breaks, Sussex is just an hour’s train journey from the Capital – but its rolling hills and chalk uplands could be a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here are our favourite places to visit in West and East Sussex:

Cottage breaks for couples

Cottage breaks for couples are usually regarded as a romantic break away that gives you a chance to spend some time with your special partner. But snuggling up in front of the fire together at the end of the day is just one aspect of a luxury cottage break. There’s so much more available for couples to enjoy, so here are a few suggestions to make your holiday with your partner even more special:

Romantic Cottage Holidays

Why wait until Valentine’s Day to whisk someone special off to a romantic tryst in the countryside? The opportunity to say ‘I love you’ is there all year round, and across the UK there are plenty of romantic cottages for that just-the-two-of-you break away. Whether it’s an impulsive last-minute idea or a carefully planned holiday, a few days away in a secluded, luxury cottage can be just the thing to ignite the passion and fire into a relationship once again. Whether your idea of a romantic weekend is a long walk on the moors, beachcombing on the coast, or chilling in a hot tub with a glass of Champagne (or why not all 3…), we have the destination that fits the bill.  Here are five of our favourite spots for year-round romantic breaks:

Spring Cottage Breaks

The dull winter days and long, dark nights can take a real toll on our mood and happiness. So as soon as the first daffodils start nodding their heads and the primroses pop up, it’s a sure sign that spring is on the way. Warmer days, those unexpected heatwaves that send us all flocking to the beach, and the excuse to start eating ice-cream again is a welcome relief from the cold, wet days of winter.

So as spring is just around the corner, shake off those winter blues by looking forward a couple of months.  Now is the perfect time to book a luxury cottage break to look forward to, especially for those half-term and Easter holiday breaks. So what’s on offer?

Easter Cottages

For a couple of years Easter has been a little late in arriving. But this year it falls at the very start of April, so now is a great time to start thinking about booking your Easter break away.

This time of the year usually marks the start of the good weather too, so beach holidays are definitely on the cards. Finding a luxury cottage in a great location shouldn’t be left to the last minute, so if you want to get the best locations for that first weekend in April, now is the time to start planning your holiday. Here are our top five destinations for Easter cottage holidays:
