Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Piddinghoe

Enjoy coast and country self-catering holidays in Piddinghoe. The charming village of Piddinghoe is nestled in the idyllic Ouse Valley on the west bank of the river, offering a wide range of activities such as sailing, boating, wild swimming, and fishing. However, it's important to be mindful of the fast-flowing tidal nature of the river, as local knowledge is crucial for safety. The historic parish church of St. John the Evangelist, dating back to the early 12th Century, is a unique gem with its distinctive round tower, one of only three in Sussex. Adorning the tower is a weather vane in the form of a salmon trout, adding to the church's allure. Rudyard Kipling immortalized it as a 'gilded dolphin' in his poem 'Sussex,' possibly due to his poor eyesight. Piddinghoe is entirely nestled within the South Downs National Park, making it an irresistible destination for those seeking a holiday cottage to indulge in cycling and walking escapades within the park or along the captivating East Sussex coast.
