Guesthouse vacation rentals in East Sussex

Lovely stay at The Garden Room :) Tim & Sue are perfect hosts and have a very nice place! Ideal for an overnight stay for me whilst away with work. Some great recommendations for food, drinks and sightseeing and so peaceful to relax and unwind after a busy day! Will be booking again when I'm next in the area. Thanks to you both!!

I needed a quiet location where I could have some assistance when needed and to be able to come and go when I needed to. There was always someone there to help if I needed it and my daughter and I felt we could relax when we needed to do that too.

A lovely, peaceful, bijoux place to stay in the stunning village of Firle. The only sounds were the church bells and birdsong. We stayed here while taking part in Potfest SE ceramic Fair held at Glynde Place. It was such a perfect location and peaceful retreat for this.

Great little lodge. All open plan, with everything you need. A lovely private garden and a lovely secluded area. Alison was great and loved staying there. Great value for money

Perfect for a short break with my mum....we both loved the place and the fact that it was so well situated with loads to do within a short drive. Claire was friendly and always very responsive to any questions. All on a level, which was great for my mum. Lovely decor....we liked the art, especially the album covers on the wall. Beautiful to have the sun flooding the whole place when we returned late afternoon...a bit chilly still in the April eve to fully appreciate the beautiful terrace outside, but we did sit out a little and enjoy the garden. Thoughtful touches such as milk and lovely bathroom/shower products. We have already recommended to someone else and may well be back!

Another great stay at the stables, Vivienne and Bill are amazing hosts who go above and beyond for their guests to ensure your stay is just perfect. The stables are warm and comfy with all you need and more for a relaxing stay set in wonderful location so peaceful and beautiful countryside to explore. already looking forward to our next stay .

We had a fantastic stay at Amy’s place. It was clean and looked exactly like the photos, the decor was lovely. It’s a great place to stay with lots to do in the immediate vicinity, we especially liked all of Amy’s food recommendations which were all excellent. The boys loved playing football in the garden with Amy’s son Theo and we all enjoyed meeting Jago the dog. Would definitely like to return to visit again

Jessica was very hospitable from the outset and went the extra mile to ensure I had everything that was needed. The bijou cottage is extremely comfortable with quality furnishings and bedlinen and an excellent shower. The brownies on arrival were most appreciated as was everything you could want for a delicious continental breakfast, which was a welcome surprise. I would highly recommend Jessica's place for a peaceful stay in a lovely village with shop and pubs within walking distance.

Lovely barn conversion near Burwash. Spacious, stylish and clean with good facilities like the kitchen and TV. Paul was super friendly and welcoming, with great local tips and even an Easter bunny. Near to great National Trust locations, the cuckoo trail as well as some good restaurants. Bear in mind you’ll need a car to get around! Would definitely stay again!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Eleanor's from even before my arrival when Eleanor kindly let me know her place was ready early. When I arrived there were welcome sweets and biscuits which was so nice and Eleanors place is so beautiful I felt right at home. Eleanor was super responsive when I had any questions. I would highly recommend Eleanor's as a really wonderful place to stay. Thank you Eleanor

What a great find! It was perfect for our visit to Hever Castle and the Ashdown forest. Claire was very responsive and provided helpful instructions ahead of time as the SatNav takes you to the wrong place. It was clean and spacious. We had informed Claire ahead of time that we would be bringing our pup with us and it was a lovely touch that she provided a little doggy welcome pack on arrival. There was also a doggy bed and some towels for. A truly fantastic stay!

Me and my partner booked this cute little Annexe for our weekend break away and were delighted with our stay! The room was beautifully decorated with a very comfy bed, and we had everything we needed for a short visit. Joanna was really friendly and welcoming, chatting to us about daily plans and offering to be available if there was anything more we needed - we could not have asked for a better host! We were in the heart of the village, with a little teashop nearby for lunches and cakes, and a pub up the street for the evening drinks. It was very easy to get to Rye when visiting in the day, just a 10/15 minute drive away. We would definitely recommend staying here if visiting Appledore or Rye!

We have just returned from another fabulous stay at Debbie's place in rural Kent, this is our second visit in the past six months. The accommodation was once again outstanding and is still the best AIRBNB that we have stayed in. The place was spotlessly clean and really well equipped, with a real feeling of luxury in both the furniture and decorations. The location is brilliant, very peaceful with beautiful surroundings, the garden area is huge, which added to the sense of space, tranquillity and privacy. Once again, the welcome pack, including bread, milk, jam, home-made lemon curd, cereal, water, biscuits, was really appreciated and also extremely useful after our long drive from Yorkshire. Debbie and Lou are perfect hosts and they seemed to have thought of everything, for us to enjoy a perfect stay, the recommendations for local places to visit and eat were great. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Mae & Judy’s place was a heavenly haven, tucked away in the hills overlooking Hastings seafront, and a 15 min walk from the wonders of the Old Town. It had everything we needed, plus having the option of amazing food on site the weekend we stayed, added to the hassle free vibes. We were woken up with birdsong every day, and enjoyed the foxy visitors to the garden too. Coming from the city, this was just the peaceful retreat we needed. Thank you for a perfect stay.

We had the best time at the Little Batchelors - the place was clean, spacious and well kitted out with everything one needs for a weekend (even board games!). Nicky & Matt are fabulous hosts - responsive, friendly and accommodating to our additional requests like later check out time.

We really enjoyed our stay, lovley and clean with a most relaxing hot tub after a days cycling. A gorgeous pub 1 minute walk away with delicious food then back for a cosy log burner. The only thing that could be added would be some dressing gowns for getting in/out of the hot tub. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and hope we will return again in the near future.

Really enjoyed our time here. The space felt larger than it had looked from the photos and the garden aspect and birdsong exceeded my expectations. Very clean, quiet and comfortable and a well equipped kitchen. A fantastic location to get away from it all and a great base to explore the local area - Seven Sisters cliff walk, the South Downs, the delightful village of Alfriston and Lewes.

Zara is an amazing host, who I couldn’t recommend more highly. The property was really tidy and very comfortable - if you’re looking for a place in the Rolvenden area, this is the place to stay

Emma was an exceptional host who made our stay truly memorable. The property was exactly as depicted in the photos. The garden was particularly stunning and added a special charm to our experience. Emma and her husband went above and beyond with their hospitality, making themselves available and offering assistance whenever needed. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything necessary for cooking, and the thoughtful welcome basket was a lovely touch that made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. I highly recommend Emma's place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with attentive hosts who genuinely care about their guests' experience.

Had a wonderful week at the Pump House Annex. Tina & Simon were excellent hosts and really had thought of everything and more to make a stay here easy, comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again if we came back to the area.

This is a great place to stay. You’re staying in the middle of the countryside, talking to the sheep but within 10 minutes you’re in the middle of Hawkhurst with great shops/supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. Try the Prince of Kent for an excellent Indian or walk 25 minutes to the best Sunday roast at The Eight Bells. Anna is an excellent host; friendly, communicative and nothing is too much trouble. The Easter eggs and chocolate biscuits were a lovely surprise and much appreciated. The house was exactly as described. We will DEFINITELY be back, especially for a cuddle with the friendliest moggies in Hawkhurst. 🐈‍⬛

The cabin is in a truly beautiful location. There is so much to do- there are outdoor play items, kayaks and pedaloes, which the kids loved. There are lovely dog walks from the doorstep, great pubs a short drive away. Pett level is 5 mins drive away and Hastings very close. The cabin is well stocked and comfortable, and rustic in a way very suitable to the location. Shawn is friendly and helpful but discrete so you have plenty of privacy. We loved our stay here.

We had a lovely, friendly welcome when we first arrived to this cozy getaway spot in the middle of the forest. The cabin was well equipped with everything you could need for a little weekend away, or longer. We spent 3 nights here and felt right at home. The space was a comfortable size with a lovely balcony area to enjoy the afternoon sun with views of the garden and woodland beyond, with a really comfy bed to rest after long walks in the surrounding forest. My husband and I had a lovely time away and we would definitely recommend staying here.

Easy to find, peaceful and just what I needed. Helbecia was very welcoming and even arranged transport for me when I visited the local hospital.
