About The Rose Cottage Inn

For travellers wanting a slower-paced break rather than a city stopover, The Rose Cottage Inn in Selmeston makes a sensible base. It suits walkers heading into the South Downs, cyclists using the surrounding lanes, and anyone driving between the coast and Lewes who wants free on-site parking and a peaceful spot to return to at the end of the day.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and free WiFi, and breakfast is served on site to set guests up for the day ahead. There's a bar for an evening drink, a garden and picnic area for sitting outside, and outdoor seating more generally, with 24 hour reception and luggage storage covering the practical side of a stay. It's a straightforward, comfortable setup rather than a lavish one.

The surrounding area has plenty to fill the days: a golf course, cycling and walking routes, and pubs, restaurants and other eateries within reach for evenings out. Entertainment nearby adds a further option for those wanting more than a quiet village evening. It works well as a countryside base for exploring East Sussex at a relaxed pace.
