Sussex has a huge selection of cosy B&Bs, contemporary guesthouses and historic inns, from the trendy to the traditional.
In general, they tend to be smaller than hotels and are often individually run, offering a more intimate experience. You may be surprised by the high quality – many are stylishly contemporary with all the luxury essentials, like power showers, fluffy bathrobes, flat screen TVs and DVD players. Some even have acclaimed in-house restaurants.
Choose from seaside terraces, city townhouses and Edwardian country villas, 18th century farmhouses on working farms and thatched cottages in picture postcard villages. Stay in a converted post office, an old windmill, a Victorian railway station and even a luxury Pullman train carriage for a taste of bygone elegance.
For a different backdrop, try a guesthouse with themed rooms – there’s everything from South American hacienda and pine-clad Alpine eyrie to French country and 70s retro.
Sussex inns offer top-notch accommodation with bags of character, ranging from half-timbered country hostelries and 16th century coaching inns in lively market towns to seaside taverns, downland gastropubs and harbourside 5 star restaurants with rooms.
All the accommodation featured on Visit Sussex participates in the National Quality Assurance Scheme, so you can rest assured you'll have a quality experience.
