The twin room is a delightfully cozy room, overlooking the flint walled garden, offering an adult sized White Company bunk bed complete with Hypnos mattresses. Family bathroom with shower overhead & toilet. Second separate toilet. Luxury Arran Aromatics Velvet Isle Hand Wash & Hand Soother are provided in the bathrooms.

Family Vacation Haven!
The Lambs Knees is the best holiday home you could ask for when traveling with children. The house has everything you need (and more!) and Laura was incredibly accommodating to all our needs, including an impromptu check-out extension as our 1 year old was taking an exceptionally long nap - a testament to how comfortable her room and cot was! Our visit to the UK has brought us to other hotels, all of which pale in comparison to The Lambs Knees. Thank you so much for the generosity and flexibility, Laura - we (Pippa especially) appreciate everything! Xx The Andrews Family

Seafood Break
Lovely period house, very clean, lots of room and perfectly placed gor walking to the town ( 2 mins) and beach (4-5) mins. Had the added benefit of an off street parking space right next to the house. Laura our host was extremely helpful and responsive before, during and after the booking. She had carefully laid out a wealth of information about where to go, what to see, where to eat - better than any host of any accommodation we have stayed at previously. I would highly recommend this accommodation!

About the host

Hosted by Lamb's Knees Holiday Home

Host profile image
I was born & brought up in the North of Scotland, whilst Ian grew up in nearby Brighton where trips to Cuckmere Valley were a family favourite. We both followed careers in science. We now live close to Lamb's Knees Holiday Home as we love the area and we are certain that our guests will too.

Why they chose this property

The location is fantastic: less than 5 mins walk to the beach, 1 min walk to local shops and restaurants and 10 mins walk to the start of the South Downs National Park which includes the Cuckmere Valley and the iconic Seven Sisters White Cliffs. Within a few minutes you can completely get away from it all on one of many tranquil walk on the Downs where you can experience nature at its best! We particularly love Springtime when the fields are full of little lambs happily gamboling, in fact the lambs on their wobbly legs were the inspiration for the name of our Holiday Home 'Lamb's Knees'.

What makes this property unique

The original Victorian design of the house is so quirky and characterful. There is so much space that everyone can find their own little quiet spot. The 'Snug' is a fabulous room, with a wood burning stove, which opens into the kitchen, ideal for chatting & relaxing with the family whilst keeping an eye on cooking dinner.
Children absolutely love the 3rd floor playroom and very quickly scamper up the 'secret' staircase to explore the awaiting treasure. They also love the 'bunk bed room' offering them a safe and cozy private den at the end of the corridor.
