Rottingdean is one of the most charming coastal villages on the Sussex coast, offering a peaceful seaside atmosphere while still being just a short distance from Brighton.

The village High Street is lined with independent cafés, traditional pubs, bakeries and local shops, giving it a welcoming and community feel. At the end of the High Street you’ll find Rottingdean Beach — a beautiful spot for coastal walks, swimming in the summer months, or simply enjoying the sea views.

The surrounding South Downs offer wonderful walking routes and scenic countryside, while Brighton’s vibrant city centre, famous pier, restaurants and nightlife are just a short drive or bus ride away.

Rottingdean truly offers the best of both worlds, a relaxed village setting with easy access to the buzz of Brighton.



Rottingdean is well connected, making it easy to explore both the local area and Brighton.

Regular buses run from the village into Brighton city centre in around 10–15 minutes, making it simple to enjoy the shops, restaurants and attractions without needing a car.

The beach, local pubs, cafés and village shops are all within walking distance of the cottage, making it an ideal base for a relaxing seaside stay.

For those exploring further afield, the South Downs National Park is just a short drive away and offers beautiful countryside walks and views.

This charming garden cottage offers a cosy and characterful space, perfect for couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful seaside escape.

Inside, the cottage features a bright and welcoming open-plan living area where the lounge flows into the kitchen space, creating a relaxed and sociable environment to unwind after a day exploring the coast. The kitchen area is well equipped for preparing meals during your stay, whether you’re enjoying a quiet breakfast before heading to the beach or cooking dinner after a day out in Brighton.

The separate bedroom provides a comfortable and restful space to recharge, while the bathroom includes a bath with a shower over, ideal for a relaxing soak or a quick refresh before heading out.

Outside, the cottage benefits from a small private outdoor area just outside the entrance, offering a lovely spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink during the warmer months.

Bright, quirky and full of charm, this hidden cottage is a wonderful little retreat tucked away in one of Brighton’s most beautiful nearby villages.

Please note the cottage is accessed via a pedestrian alleyway and cannot be reached directly by car. Parking is available nearby within the village, but guests will need to walk a short distance to the property.
