Dog-friendly hot tub lodge, fenced garden, by the South Downs & Ferring beach

Elderflower Lodge is a private, single-storey lodge on our small family nursery at the foot of Highdown Hill, between the South Downs and the sea. You have your own covered hot tub right next to the lodge, a large, fully fenced garden and three bedrooms for six.

Luca and Trina built the lodge and run it themselves. It is warm and full of natural light, and Luca made much of the furniture by hand from pieces we have salvaged over the years.
