About this cottage rental

THE PROPERTY:
Cleve Cottage is a delightful two-bedroom cottage combining charm, style and practicality. Located in a residential neighbourhood just a short stroll from the bustling high street, it's a great choice for couples and families looking for a restful break with access to local heritage and the scenic South Downs. Cleve Cottage is listed here by Inspire Stays, the premier independent holiday company in the South East. Visit for full info about this home, including accessibility, a video tour and floor plan.

The interior exudes a welcoming and tasteful vibe, with stylish modern touches. The open-plan lounge offers comfortable seating and a Smart TV, while the dining space is ideal for relaxed meals. The adjoining kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, complete with a breakfast table.

Upstairs, Bedroom One features a king-size bed, and Bedroom Two offers a single bed with a pull-out to make a 180cm side-by-side twin for bookings with four guests. Both have a dressing table/desk for remote working. The bathroom offers a walk-in shower and is a stylish and pretty space to freshen up.

Outside, the private back garden offers rustic charm with herb planters and bench seating, perfect for morning coffee or a BBQ. It's fully enclosed for peace of mind and includes a small bike shed for one bike. See the Useful information and house rules section, or visit for important details about this home.

Thank you for the most wonderful 4 night stay. Such a beautifully presented cottage in a great location. We explored Lewes, Birling Gap and took a train to Brighton for the day. The cottage served as the perfect retreat at the end of a winter's day. We look forward to returning in the future.

A beautifully presented cottage that served as an idyllic retreat with its cosy interior and convenient location for exploring both Lewes and the surrounding area. We visited Birling Gap by car and Brighton by train. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful weekend at Cleve Cottage! The house is so beautifully decorated, it felt like staying in a boutique hotel but with all the comforts of home. Positioned in the prettiest part of Lewes and within walking distance of the high street and train station we could not fault the location, we were worried about the lack of parking but the owners left us parking permits and getting parked near the house was never a problem. We will definitely recommend Cleve Cottage to our family and friends and hopefully return ourselves one day.
