Winter on the Sussex coast is something special. Bright skies, bracing sea air and space to truly switch off is what winter coastal breaks in the UK are all about.
Just 15 minutes from Brighton, our boutique hotel in Rottingdean is the perfect place to hunker down in style. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a half-term family escape or a solo recharge, The White Horses offers winter coastal breaks with charm, character and sea views in every season.
With 32 individually designed rooms, The White Horses feels like a true retreat. Think warm interiors, freestanding roll-top baths and balconies made for storm-watching with a drink in hand. Choose from cosy doubles to elegant sea-facing suites, and enjoy the kind of quiet, comfortable luxury that makes you want to stay in, even when the coast is calling.
There’s so much to enjoy for a break on the coast this winter, including:
It’s a coastal escape made for slowing down, switching off and settling into the rhythm of the waves.
Winter menus at The White Horses are full of soul-warming flavour. That means butter-soft braised beef, roasted root veg and hand-dived scallops from the Sussex coast. Raise a glass of Bolney fizz or a spiced winter cocktail by the bar. Or linger over Sunday lunch with all the trimmings and sea views from every seat.
From windswept white cliffs to the rolling South Downs, there’s beauty in every direction. Explore the Undercliff Walk to Brighton Marina, browse Lewes’ antique markets, or lose yourself in the Lanes before retreating to our calm, sea-view setting.
