The thought of taking a nice, quiet break somewhere can often seem quite appealing, especially when exploring parts of England previously unvisited. However, check-ins, organised tours, group outings and timetables for every day can quickly turn a relaxing break into feeling like a rushed school-trip.

The ideal solution to remedy this problem is to take a self-catering holiday, where you are in control of where you go, what things you do and what time you come and go. With an array of apartments, houses and cottages to suit every requirement, taking a short break in beautiful Sussex has never been easier, more affordable, or more appealing!

Sussex Downs


Sussex is home to the South Downs, showcasing some of England’s finest scenery, ranging from beautiful countryside to spectacular cliffs and coastlines. Beachy Head possesses some of the most tranquil and breathtaking coastal scenery that the county has to offer and offers visitors a truly unique walk.

Devils Dyke is another area of outstanding beauty. Britain’s finest Anglo-Saxon earthwork of its kind runs for nearly eight miles presenting an awe-inspiring countryside walk that has been trodden for centuries.

These are simply two examples of the broad spectrum of country walks, pubs, sights and views available along the South Downs Way, and make up part of a rural heritage that can’t all be appreciated in just the one visit!

History and Culture


If you’re looking for a more historical day out, why not visit one of Sussex’s several famous castles or forts? Bodium and Arundel castles are two prime examples of majestic buildings brimming with history, beauty and plenty of things to do, all set within beautiful rural areas and villages.

Hastings offers a glimpse into English history having hosted quite an event in 1066. The battle is chronicled in museums, buildings and the battlefield itself, with plenty of opportunities for visitors to complete the whole 1066 experience.

Sussex’s beautiful countryside is home to and indeed inspires, many talented artists. The county boasts many galleries, ranging from large, exhibition-hosting venues down to small village outlets where local craftspeople hang their wares. If you’re looking for history and culture, then look no further than Sussex and the English coast.

Eating


What holiday would be complete without food and drink? Taking a self-catering holiday home affords you the luxury of substituting mediocre hotel cuisine for award-winning local restaurants and local produce.

If you fancy a quiet night in, there is an abundance of quality locally farmed produce available throughout Sussex’s towns and villages. If a night of wining and dining suits your fancy, then there is a simply limitless array of options to suit even the most discerning taste-buds, whether it’s a local eatery showcasing the best in home-grown and local cuisine or a range of cosmopolitan fine restaurants located in a city. Sussex boasts all of these, as well as some of the finest fish restaurants available on England’s coastline.

Urban Chic


With all of the rural countryside and natural beauty of Sussex, it’s easy to forget that we’re also home to Brighton, one of the country’s most cosmopolitan and fashionable cities. Brighton has excellent transport links to most places in the county and offers a wealth of sights, sounds and activities for your holiday.

Brighton is home to some of the most varied and interesting shops, boutiques and markets in the south of England. The Laines offer a truly unique and independent range of shops, stalls and restaurants which are packed full of colour, character and charm, ensuring that you’ll definitely find something to take back your friends, and plenty more besides!

Brighton Marina naturally affords people boating access, whilst a casino and several restaurants have made this part of the city a very glamorous night out. From yacht hotels to moorings for your own vessel, the Marina offers yet further options to your holiday experience.

Add to this a huge shopping centre, great restaurants and a fantastic array of pubs, bars and nightlife, and you’re never short of somewhere to go or something to do, all within cosmopolitan Brighton!
