A Rottingdean weekend away offers more than just sea views. It’s a chance to explore, discover and slow down, all in one place. Take to the clifftops for a bracing walk along the Undercliff Path or climb up to Devil’s Dyke for sweeping views over the South Downs.
There are also a few well-loved pubs near Devil’s Dyke – ideal for refuelling after a ramble along the ridgeline.
Closer to home, Kipling Gardens and the Grange Museum are hidden gems, offering a glimpse into the village’s rich history and literary roots. Browse boutique shops, sip tea in a sun-dappled courtyard, or pause for an ice cream on the promenade.
Feeling adventurous? Try paddleboarding or a sea swim – the beach is mere steps away. Or simply lay back and let the sounds of the tide set your pace.
Rottingdean is also perfectly placed for exploring more of Sussex. Brighton is just down the road, with its famous Lanes, lively food scene and independent spirit. A weekend here gives you the best of both worlds. There’s no shortage of standout restaurants near Brighton Lanes to tempt you.
Rottingdean isn’t just for summer. It’s a place that changes with the seasons, and it charms in every one.
In spring and summer, long days bring beach picnics, sunlit cliff walks and alfresco lunches by the sea. Autumn slows the pace, with golden light, hearty roasts and breezy strolls through fallen leaves.
And winter? That’s when things turn extra cosy. Enjoy storm-watching from your window with a rich glass of red, in the warm glow of a candlelit supper.
Curious? You can book your stay and be by the sea in no time.
