What kind of break are you after? A few days camping with the kids? A romantic weekend with long walks, lazy pub lunches and a cosy B&B to come home to? Or your very own country cottage, with the beautiful South Downs right outside your door?
B&Bs
There are some wonderful places offering B&B in Ditchling and the immediate surrounds, some offering walks from the door, others right in the heart of the village.
The Jointure Studios
A lovely, self-contained first floor flat in the oldest part of this historical building in the centre of the village. The Jointure Studios dates back to Tudor times and in 1920 was adapted into artist workshops by Sir Frank Brangwyn. Having converted the building into an unusual home in 2000, Shirley is now delighted to welcome guests and share her knowledge and love of the area.
The White Horse
Right in the heart of the village, the White Horse is as popular with locals as it is with visitors, and makes a great base for a weekend in and around Ditchling. There are seven comfortable bedrooms, all with views either to the Downs or the village church, St Margaret’s, which dates back to the 12th century. Cyclists and walkers are welcome, and there’s plenty of hearty pub food and local ales after a long day out on the Downs.
