Tucked away in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside, Old Cottage was built over 500 years ago, and dates from Christopher Columbus' discovery of America and before the reign of Henry Vlll. The house is one of the oldest in the area, and stands on land that along with the ancient common of Lunces, and Ditchling Common, was once part of the Royal Court of King Alfred the Great.

The cottage is part of a larger country house, and is completely self-contained with it's own private front door. The accommodation consists of a living room with a fabulous old inglenook fireplace, cosy dining room, utility/rod room with fridge, microwave/convection oven and tea and coffee making facilities (coffee is freshly ground, of course), modern bathroom with large walk-in shower, master bedroom with four poster bed, second single bedroom, and space for a third single occupancy if required. The living room has digital tv discreetly placed.
The house is full of original features, beams and antiques. The master bedroom has medieval ships beams with carvings, and large centuries-old oak floorboards. You can even see the horse hairs sticking out from the original plaster in places!

Attention to detail is very important to us. All bed linen is luxurious 400 count Egyptian cotton, and duvets and pillows are anti-allergy. Complimentary luxury toiletries include a range of 'Sanctuary' products including spa treatments and body lotions.
The majority of our fresh food produce is sourced locally, and is organic wherever possible.

Please contact us for details of corporate bookings. We can open up the rest of the larger attached house to provide a further three bedrooms and two bathrooms if required, and we are always happy to arrange and book extra accommodation at neighbouring hotels for larger parties.
