Explore the area
Located 4 miles east of Brighton, the seaside village of Rottingdean is a beautiful destination surrounded by the seaside and the South Downs National Park.
Just a few minutes walk from the house you’ll find the beautiful pebbled Rottingdean Beach which offers invigorating Undercliff walks plus stunning sea views from Molly’s Cafe (turn left when you get to the beach). It is the perfect all-year destination without the crowds of busier locations. For a nice walk visit Beacon Nature Reserve featuring the windmill, and perfect for exercising your dog.
Home to a wide selection of restaurants, cafes and takeaways to suit everyone. There are 5 pubs to choose from, including Rottingdean’s oldest, Ye Olde Black Horse which dates back to 1513 and the newly refurbed White Horses, with its superb location overlooking the sea, there is no reason to venture further. Brighton is less than 15 minutes on the regular ‘coaster’ bus service or an even quicker drive along the coastal road, so you may be tempted to visit. Brighton Marina is en route too – you can stroll to it along the undercliff path in approximately 40 minutes.

If you have a car it’s a 15-minute drive into Brighton where you will find lots of pay parking options, and a 50-minute drive in the other direction to Eastbourne.
