Cottage vacation rentals in Lewes

Really enjoyed our weekend away, great communication from the start. Quite and quirky cottage, so peaceful even though it's on a road, this wasn't a problem for us.. The hot tub was amazing.. A great extra to the weekend...☺️☺️

We had a wonderful stay at The Granary. The setting is exceptional and you feel like you’re in a historic hamlet in the middle of beautiful, peaceful countryside. The hosts were great, leaving us to our own devices but on hand and responsive if needed. The Granary has been expertly restored as have the other historical buildings on site and the grounds are beautifully presented. We had everything we needed in the property. We would highly recommend booking a stay. Don’t forget your swim wear - the pool and jacuzzi are fantastic!

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful week at Easter at Cooden Cottage. Ella was amazing and even helped us find a lost dog! The house is spotless, and beyond our expectations. The flow of the downstairs through to an amazing kitchen, conservatory and completely fenced garden was perfect for us and our two large dogs and we had several family get togethers in the garden, surrounded by greenery. The beds, bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent with plenty is space. We met Ella twice and it is clear that she is passionate about giving her guests a really special experience, from thoughtful touches to all rooms to a lovely welcome pack. While there, she wants her guests to feel that it is space and she completely achieved that. We felt at home and will definitely be back. Thank you!

We stayed for 4 nights in April 2025, 2 adults and 2 children (9 and 13). Fabulous stay, the cottage is lovely and tucked away from the road. The hot tub was a big hit and made the stay that little bit more amazing! Excellent host and a lovely cottage, we will be back.

We had a lovely stay for our mini moon with our dog. The cottage was beautiful and peaceful with everything we needed. The hot tub was on and ready for when we got there and we were even given fresh bread and eggs for breakfast. Even though the owners lived right next door we were left to enjoy our stay with no disruptions. The location was ideal with amazing walks nearby and plenty of pubs within a short distance. We can’t recommend this cottage enough. Thank you so much for having us.

Thank you Peter and Karen for a wonderful stay at your property. It was everything we hoped, secluded and calm, peaceful and serene. your thoughtful touches (the eggs, milk and biccies plus tea and coffee etc), plus your helpful insights into the locality were really helpful and helped make our stay. We loved having the use of the hot tub and the pool and the veranda over the garden was so peaceful in the evenings. We would absolutely stay here again if you would have us!

Great stay. Everything was clean and would highly recommend. Clare was a great host being responsive and made sure our stay was exactly what we wanted. We loved watching the ducks. We would also highly recommend the lovely walk over to the cider tap for dinner.

Excellent holiday cottage set in idyllic surroundings, each facillity Within the cottage were as described and we felt imeediately comfortable! Local restaurants were excellent so much so we eat out all week, so very well satisfied all round My contact at beachy head estate office (evie) was excellent in Handling our enquiries before and during our stwy, so Evie take a bow for a job well done

We had a wonderful time staying here, the surroundings were so beautiful and every part of the hideaway was a pleasure. The hosts were great and were very patient with our very excitable puppy. This place will now hold special meaning to us as we got engaged in front of the view from the bedroom terrace. Thanks very much for a lovely stay!

It was such a lovely stay at Lucy and Nick! Everything was perfect and all the family so lovely and welcoming. The cottage, the surroundings, the animals, the region, .. I will come back soon for sure!

Clair's cottage was exactly as per the photo's. As we stayed over Easter, it had been beautifully decorated with Easter bunnies. We loved the place. It was one block from the beach, close to town but yet very quiet at night. Luckily the sun was shining on our trip and I had a fantastic short time in the garden enjoying the sunshine. For those coming without a car, you can easily walk from the station and there is a Co-op a few minutes walk away. Clair clearly loves interior design and this much is evident in the cottage. My friend said that it was the first AirBnB she had been to where she immediately felt at home. Everything was spotlessly clean and Clair was very accommodating. I know we will be back at some point. There is a lovely beach sauna a few blocks away that I also recommend to try out.

We had such a peaceful and restful time at the Waggoners. And even more importantly, so did our anxious dog. She immediately settled in and spent all of her time relaxing on the grass watching TV (the sheep, pheasants and occasionally deer!). We stay in 4/5 places like this a year, and by far this was the fastest place she settled. We came via public transport, easy to get to either via taxi (lots of dog friendly ones in Rye) or by bus from Rye. Rye is a fabulously dog friendly town, and it's also easy to get to Camber Sands. Other dog notes: Bridget was proactive letting us know there are sheep just out front (electric fence in between) and there was occasionally a tractor driving past to get to the next field. This wasn't a problem as you could hear them coming with plenty of time, but just to be mindful of when the dogs are outside. We had everything we needed and could really just switch off which is exactly why we came. Absolutely loved it and will be back!

The Hayloft is a lovely cosy relaxing place, Amanda is very friendly and welcoming and has lots of knowledge of the local area, we had a great break with our children and dogs, watching the chickens in the garden and being able to see the horses from the kitchen window is a bonus , can’t wait to visit again .

For my first holiday away with my 2 beautiful children I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better stay. The cottage is beautiful, the gardens and surrounding grounds are stunning, simply a lovely place to be. We spent a lot of time in the cottage and use if the new fire pit in the evenings as it was so peaceful and relaxing. 2 main attractions for us were Pooh Corner with Ashdown Forrest for all your Winnie the Pooh adventures, and Hever Castle which is a lovely day out. Tennis courts and a lovely pool to boot ❤️❤️❤️ Caroline left some beautiful touches, some Easter treats for my children and a host of food and fresh juice, lovely 😍❤️

Such a beautiful cosy perfect little place we fell in love with it the minute we walked through the garden gate, cute, quaint and abit like stepping back in time, an evening in front of the fire on the comfy sofa with a cup of tea after a very windswept walk across the nature reserve was an absolutely perfect Sunday, followed by a great sleep in the super comfy bed , and croissant and fresh coffee for Breakfast kindly left by Lynda who was such a lovely helpful host, we will absolutely be back to stay for longer in the summer, one of our most favorite Air bnb accomodations by far 🙂

A cozy cottage near the stunning South Downs and Sussex coast. Our five-year-old had a very comfy stay, and we were just as comfortable. The location is perfect, with lots to see and do nearby — from countryside walks to charming villages. Katie was an excellent host, incredibly helpful and provided us with some wonderful local recommendations. A wonderful spot for both relaxing and exploring ⸻ Would you like a few alternatives for slightly different tones (like a bit warmer or even more polished)?

It’s honestly the first place we’ve stayed at I Reigate that felt homely and comfortable. The mattress was comfortable. The entire place feels warm. Well done David

Perfect cottage with great amenities and a great location for us. London easily accessible and also West Sussex. Sociana was the perfect host We hope to be back James and Charlotte.

Marion and Jamie are great hosts with a lovely property in beautiful surroundings. They were really helpful and friendly with our group - definitely highly recommended!

Booked to stay at Jane’s beautiful cottage for nearly a month, due to a water leak making my home not safe to live in. From the first enquiry, Jane has been amazing, she is so reassuring, friendly, welcoming and proactive. She really helped to ease me in this difficult time. The property is exactly as described on her page and it’s safe to say it is certainly a home from home. It had all the amenities I needed to live as I would at home, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the living room cosy and the garden is gorgeous for when the sun is shining. Plenty of parking for our cars and even more reassurance being behind a private gate too. Even my dog settled into this property quickly and made herself at home! Although I didn’t need them, it was nice to see a selection of local guides, booklets and maps in the cottage for those not familiar with the area. I can’t recommend Jane and her cottage enough, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to stay to anyone visiting the area!

We stayed for 1 night before an early flight from Gatwick, arriving late & leaving early morning so we didn’t get a chance to use the kitchen appliances, but the bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean & fully functioning. Christine was a fantastic, welcoming host; she arranged a taxi for us and we also utilised the additional parking for our week long holiday, which was so useful with 2 toddlers in tow! We would not hesitate to book again if we were travelling from Gatwick Airport again!

The cottage was a real home from home. Really important for us as we had to stay for two months whilst work was being done on our house. It was warm (essential in January and February), cosy, comfortable and extremely well equipped. John and Jane were thoughtful and helpful. After a very stressful few months we were able to relax and enjoy our extended holiday.

We had a wonderful stay at Georgina's cottage! She was incredibly accommodating and helpful, making us feel right at home. The cottage itself is beautiful and offers a truly peaceful escape. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches for our little one – the provided highchair was a lifesaver, and the books and toys were a huge hit! We highly recommend George's place for a relaxing and family-friendly getaway
