The charming grade II listed house has been painstakingly renovated to create a tasteful combination of character and contemporary style. It now offers six individually designed luxurious rooms, light and airy, some with views over the sussex countryside.

The sunny oak beamed breakfast room, with its log burner in cooler months, is where you’ll enjoy your choice of a delicious full English breakfast, fresh fruit, cereals, Rooks Hills own fresh free range eggs, freshly baked bread and homemade preserves. Local produce is used whenever possible.

On warmer days the French doors open onto the pretty wisteria-clad courtyard, overlooking the garden. Rooks Hill also offers a cosy guest lounge, well stocked with books, magazines and daily newspapers, for you to relax in.

There are two country pubs serving excellent food within strolling distance.
