Nestled in the charming seaside village of Rottingdean, Mews Cottage is just a short stroll from both beach and nearby South Downs countryside, offering the perfect mix of coastal charm and rural tranquility. The cottage is beautifully appointed with exposed beams, a cosy log burner, and range oven and Nespresso coffee maker - combining rustic warmth with elegant, neutral tones. Accommodating 4 guests across two bedrooms. Mews Cottage is an ideal retreat for family escapes or trips with friends.

The space
Set within the picturesque conservation area of Rottingdean, this quaint cottage is just steps from the village green and a short walk to the seafront. With easy access to stunning coastal views and scenic under-cliff walks, it's ideally positioned for those eager to explore both the seaside and the South Downs National Park. Nearby, you’ll find a selection of village pubs, a bakery, restaurants, and a small supermarket. The lively beer garden next door adds to the village’s charm, creating a vibrant yet welcoming atmosphere.

Inside, the cottage blends country warmth with stylish, neutral decor. Exposed beams, a log burner, and a beautiful range oven add to its character, while modern comforts ensure a relaxing stay. The fully equipped kitchen includes a range oven, washer/ dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and ample cookware, crockery, and glassware. There is a Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker with some pods available. A breakfast bar offers a cozy spot for meals, and complimentary tea, coffee, sugar plus some cooking essentials are provided for your convenience.

The inviting living room features a plush velvet sofabed, a comfortable occasional chair, and a
wall-mounted Smart TV. Stream your favourite programmes using Apps like Netflix, IPlayer, ITVX etc and watch live tv via the apps too.

From the living area, glass doors lead out onto a small, private, astroturfed patio with garden furniture, allowing natural light to flood the space throughout the day, creating a bright and airy retreat. A perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee!

Upstairs, two stylishly furnished bedrooms promise a peaceful night's sleep. One room features a double bed, while the other offers a spacious king-size bed and a wall-mounted Smart TV (stream your favourite programmes using Apps like Netflix, IPlayer, ITVX etc and watch live tv via the apps). Note the larger bedroom has space for a travel cot. Both rooms retain their charming exposed beams and provide good storage space. The beds are dressed in fresh, hotel-quality linens, with plenty of soft, clean towels available. The family bathroom is tastefully designed, and there's also an additional cloakroom with toilet downstairs for added convenience. A hairdryer, iron, and ironing board are provided for your comfort.

Perfectly located, the cottage is just a 15-minute bus ride or a short drive from Brighton. You can enjoy scenic walks through the Beacon Hill Nature Reserve, visit it's iconic windmill, or admire the stunning views of the South Downs. In the village, you can grab a coffee, relax on the beach, or dine at a seafront pub with panoramic views.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the entire cottage during their stay. Entry details will be provided prior to arrival.
Please note that the Mews where the property is located is extremely narrow - parking or stopping here is not permitted. Nearby parking is available on The Green, Dean Court Road, Steyning Road, and Bazehill Road. Additionally, there is a short-stay car park in front of Tesco (by the traffic lights on the right) and a long-stay car park on Marine Drive (to the left).

Other things to note
The Duck Inn beer garden next door is a lovely spot, offering al-fresco dining, BBQS, and occasional live music. It can be lively on sunny days, adding to the village’s friendly atmosphere. The pub owners are considerate of their neighbours, with a strict 10 pm curfew to ensure a peaceful environment for all.

There is no dining table, but an adequate breakfast bar that seats 4. There is also a spare stool in the cupboard.

For those bringing a baby/toddler, there is room in the main bedroom for a travel cot. Note there is no cot in the cottage or stairgates.

We allow 1 small/medium dog at £25 extra cost, paid at booking. Please do not allow your pet on furniture or upstairs as we have light carpets. Also note the little patio at the back is astroturf so do not allow your dog to toilet there. There is a green opposite over the road which can be used for this purpose. Please don’t leave it alone in the house for any length of time. If there are any accidents (poos or wees!) on the astroturf please dispose and flush with water to negate any odour.

Neighbourhood highlights

Located 4 miles east of Brighton, the seaside village of Rottingdean is a beautiful destination surrounded by the seaside and the South Downs National Park.

Just a few minutes walk from the house you'll find the beautiful pebbled Rottingdean Beach which offers invigorating Undercliff walks plus stunning sea views from Molly’s Cafe (turn left when you get to the beach). It is the perfect all-year destination without the crowds of busier locations.

Home to a wide selection of restaurants, cafes and takeaways to suit everyone. There are 5 pubs to choose from, including Rottingdean’s oldest, Ye Olde Black Horse which dates back to 1513 and the newly refurbed White Horses, with its superb location overlooking the sea, there is no reason to venture further. Brighton is less than 15 minutes on the regular ‘coaster’ bus service or an even quicker drive along the coastal road, so you may be tempted to visit. Brighton Marina is en route too - you can stroll to it along the undercliff path in approximately 40 minutes.

The Duck Inn beer garden next door to the Mews Cottage is extremely lovely and with al-fresco dining, BBQs and occasional live music, it can be busy on sunny summer days and offers good beer selection and great food.
