It is situated 38 km from Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway Adventure Park and features private check-in and check-out.

The immaculate cleaning and the town's charm, with easy access to scenic walks in Rye and Hastings, made it a perfect base for my cycling holiday. I also highly recommend the on site, fresh, delicious pub food. Overall, a fantastic experience!
