Little Luxuries: Small Luxury Cottages in East Sussex
Treat yourself and your partner to a taste of luxury with a weekend break or longer holiday on one of these beautifully romantic luxury holiday cottages for couples in East Sussex. One property sleeps two guests, while the other two can accommodate four in two bedrooms. They are all beautifully furnished with outdoor terraces that will appeal to sun worshipers. While you may be tempted to shut yourself away from the world in your little rural bolthole, talking, reading, eating and chilling out with a romantic movie classic in the evenings, we have also suggested a nearby pub or restaurant for a romantic dinner.

Cherrystone Barn
Location: In the countryside a few miles to the east of Lewes
Pet friendly: Yes
Infant-friendly: Yes
Other facilities: Hot tub and woodburning stove
Cherrystone is a charming oak-framed barn in a truly idyllic, secluded rural location, which has retained much of its character with original features. Outside, it has a lovely terrace within its enclosed garden and a luxurious hot tub – a perfect spot for star-gazing. While you may want to explore the wider area, perhaps with a visit to Lewes for antique hunting, you can stay home and explore the beautiful country walks right from Cherrystone’s front door – the 14-mile Cuckoo Trail passes close by. It’s just a short stroll into the little village of Ripe, which has a superb delicatessen for a little larder stocking and a pub. Whether planning a honeymoon, celebrating an anniversary, or just giving yourselves a much-needed break together, Cherrystone will do you proud.
