Bedroom 2 is a spacious and airy room, and can be configured either as a twin room, or as a superking double.
The third bedroom has a double bed, and has its original oak floorboards and exposed timber! The family bathroom is a real highlight, boasting an elegant roll-top bath, where you can soak away after your day out. Outside, the wrap-around enclosed garden offers open views of the surrounding countryside, providing a serene space to relax and unwind.
The patio, complete with furniture, is the perfect spot for alfresco dining or simply enjoying a refreshing beverage as the sun sets. The cottage is situated within the stunning landscape of the South Downs.
From the front door, wander a minute along the lane, and straight up the wooded slopes of the South Downs, to Black Cap, with its breath-taking views of the Sussex countryside all around, and a glimpse of the English Channel to the south. If you can tear yourself away from the calm of Newstead Farmhouse, visit Drusillas Park for some family fun. Also great for young families are the many local farm visits like Middle Farm and Blackberry Farm.
Or visit the local vineyards for wine-tasting.
The Jolly Sportsman, a gastro pub, only a short bike ride down the lane, has an exquisite pub garden and excellent food. Venture out to the wonderfully vibrant Brighton, a 25 minute drive away, with its incredible array of shops, pubs and restaurants, where you can meander along Brighton Pier with an ice cream.
Whilst there, be sure to gaze upon the architectural grandeur of the Royal Pavilion. Spend a day exploring the natural wonders of Seven Sisters Country Park, where the stunning chalk cliffs provide an iconic backdrop to your walk. For a dose of beauty and history, visit the nearby National Trust wonders: Standen House and Garden, Nyman’s Garden’s, or Sheffield Park and Gardens which is famous for its stunning autumn colours and adjoins the wonderful Bluebell Steam Railway.

A couple of minor problems arose during our stay and these were attended to rapidly and with kindness, going beyond the call of duty.
