The South East England / Sussex region

William the Conqueror chose the sunny south-east to visit, and so should you! Loads of battle events, castles, and the small town of Battle where it all happened. October is the month to experience its re-enactment. It was Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's favourite hunting ground too and they've left their mark in castles, hunting lodges and the greatest Royal hunting ground, Ashdown Forest.

As well as being officially the warmest and driest area of the UK, this part of Sussex is packed with beautiful countryside for walking, nature reserves, architecture, gardens, live music, artistic and sporting interest, and it's the birthplace of motor racing.

There is unique birdwatching in the shingle habitats of Rye Harbour and Dungeness. Walking on the 1066 coastal walkway, the glorious clifftop Country Park, Brede Valley, the Cuckoo Trail, water sports on Bewl Water, the best modernist architecture in Britain and the full range of live music from classical at the De La Warr Pavilion to blues, jazz, bluegrass, Cajun, country and western, folk and tribute bands in most of the old fishing pubs.

Then there's Sissinghurst, Great Dixter, the homes of Rudyard Kipling, Winston Churchill, Anne Boleyn, Henry James, William Logie Baird, John Martyn...........everybody loves it here!

The Hastings, Sussex / St Leonards on Sea area

St Leonards arrived in the elegant mid-19C when James and Decimus Burton designed and built the exquisite Burton St Leonards and when every development had its garden, its square or its lake. And at the other end of the town nestles the beautiful, intriguing and even older Hastings Old Town where the last remaining beached commercial fishing fleet in Europe squats on the shingle among the famous net huts.

This town has so many artists, writers and musicians per square yard that you cannot help running into art galleries, live music and commemorative blue plaques of historic resident authors wherever you look.

There are festivals here every month from July to December. September is my favourite with the Coastal Currents Arts Festival in Hastings and St Leonards and a great one in Rye; the famous Hastings Seafood and Wine festival as well. October is the month to re-experience all the aspects of the 1066 Battle of Hastings.

And not forgetting the kids, the fabulous seaside fairground, Crazy Golf, Sea Life, museums, the Clambers in and outdoor Total Child Experience, Smugglers Caves, the home of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, and so much more.

All the London airports will give you access but Gatwick is the nearest and easiest.
There is easy access from the ferries at Folkestone and Dover, Newhaven too.
It's a pleasant and easy drive along the coast, but the mainline train station is also within walking distance. There is a taxi company right there though if you have a lot of luggage.

“Very nice apartment and a relaxing vacation” We were a party of 7 (incl. 3 kids / teenagers) and really felt like home. Even at booking time Ellen was very helpful and this continued during the whole stay. The appartment is huge enough to host 2 families, is nicely furnished and very well equipped. Only really little downside were some missing cooking pots (remember 7 people). But Ellen instantly organised some more pots! To sum up, it was perferct! Hastings itself has a lot things to see but you should also check the spots around like Brighton or the Seven Sisters (Beachy Head). Even London is not far away and can easily reached by train. The next trainstation is a only 5 minute walk from the apartement. Within a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction you are at the sea. You won't find a sandy beach, there are pebbles all around. But going for a swim is no problem. Unfortuntately the Hastings Pier was burnt-down which is a huge loss for the town. We all had a very nice and relaxing vacation and would recommend this property without a doubt.

“Relaxing, well equiped and comfortable.” I recently had a very nice stay with some friends at Ellen's. The property is beautifully furnished to a very high standard. It was spacious and well equipped, from reading material through to... more

“Lovely apartment, large well furnished rooms, a real gem to stay in.” Ellen's apartment has a feeling of grandeur, with its high ceilings, neutral decor, and lovely furnishings. The space of the apartment suited our needs, and we never felt cramped. It has all the equipment you would ever need for your stay, and the beds and crisp, fresh linen were lovely. The apartment has all the literature you could ever need for the surrounding areas, we found some lovely places to eat & drink. We would recommend Ellen's wholeheartedly.
