Neutral hues, with splashes of colour create a sense of calm and space. Quirky, yet homely, 18th & 19th century furniture in solid elm, oak & copper accentuate the history & curiosity of the house.

The Master bedroom offers a restful retreat featuring a Simon Horn king-size cherrywood 'Empire' bed with luxurious goose down duvet & crisp white linen, seating area with damson velvet cupid settee, dressing area with bespoke copper clothes rail & cheval mirror. The double bedroom is a particularly sunny, peaceful room with an antique French Empire inlaid mahogany double bed. The twin room is a delightfully cozy room, overlooking the flint walled garden, offering an adult sized White Company bunk bed complete with Hypnos mattresses. Family bathroom with shower overhead & toilet. Second separate toilet. Luxury Arran Aromatics Velvet Isle Hand Wash & Hand Soother are provided in the bathrooms.

Living Space, five rooms (Lounge / Dining Room / Snug / Kitchen/ Toy Room) & Flint Walled Garden
Fabulously cozy 'Snug' with Italian wood burning stove and logs provided, opening onto a brand new oak kitchen fitted with modern appliances. A sophisticated Dining Room with antique oak table under a spectacular chandelier leads into a spacious lounge where you can play one of the many board games supplied or simply relax with your favourite film from our DVD collection.

About the host

Hosted by Lamb's Knees Holiday Home

Host profile image
I was born & brought up in the North of Scotland, whilst Ian grew up in nearby Brighton where trips to Cuckmere Valley were a family favourite. We both followed careers in science. We now live close to Lamb's Knees Holiday Home as we love the area and we are certain that our guests will too.

Why they chose this property

The location is fantastic: less than 5 mins walk to the beach, 1 min walk to local shops and restaurants and 10 mins walk to the start of the South Downs National Park which includes the Cuckmere Valley and the iconic Seven Sisters White Cliffs. Within a few minutes you can completely get away from it all on one of many tranquil walk on the Downs where you can experience nature at its best! We particularly love Springtime when the fields are full of little lambs happily gamboling, in fact the lambs on their wobbly legs were the inspiration for the name of our Holiday Home 'Lamb's Knees'.

What makes this property unique

The original Victorian design of the house is so quirky and characterful. There is so much space that everyone can find their own little quiet spot. The 'Snug' is a fabulous room, with a wood burning stove, which opens into the kitchen, ideal for chatting & relaxing with the family whilst keeping an eye on cooking dinner.
Children absolutely love the 3rd floor playroom and very quickly scamper up the 'secret' staircase to explore the awaiting treasure. They also love the 'bunk bed room' offering them a safe and cozy private den at the end of the corridor.
