Best hotels in East Sussex for romance and sea views

Flint Barns at Rathfinny Estate

Not so long ago, visiting East Sussex meant a day trip to Brighton or possibly extending your visit to a mildly hungover night in the nearest available B&B. But the county has so much more to offer than a sunburnt nose and a throbbing head.

For food and drink connoisseurs, there’s many an award-winning vineyard to visit. For people looking to make the most of nature, explore the lush gardens and great walks along the South Downs National Park – we recommend Devil’s Dyke, which is a 4.3-mile circular walk as rich in wildlife as it is in far-reaching views. There’s even a clutch of super-cool art galleries that are well worth a visit.
