  • "People say a lot of the time, it was like home from home."

    Well Lavender Cottage really was, home to home, a lovely welcome hamper for the guest and for their dogs, every thing one might need, from bread, milk and treats for your stay. It was clean, warm and tidy and a beautiful size garden, the dogs loved it and enjoyed spending their time exploring it. We would definitely be looking to going back for another stay in the future.

    Great to know that you felt so comfortable staying at Lavender Cottage, thank you! We would be very pleased to see you again. Property Owner

The market town of Hailsham is settled in a picturesque part of East Sussex. This location is particularly popular due to the famous Cuckoo Trail host to an array of flora and fauna. An interesting 14 mile surfaced trail for walkers and cyclists, mainly traffic free, through the beautiful countryside along the old railway line linking Heathfield, Horam, Hailsham, Polegate and Hampden Park. There are benches, picnic tables and sculptures to look out for and lots of opportunities to pick up refreshments a short distance from the route.
The quaint village of Alfriston boasts chocolate-box-pretty pubs, boutique shops, medieval buildings and glorious countryside views. Take a stroll along the banks of the Cuckmere River while you're here. Closer to home you can explore 800 years of Sussex history at Michelham Priory and gardens, Abbots Wood nearby provides excellent walking routes and Wellshurst Golf Club is popular with golfers.
