Dower Cottage is situated at the foot of the Downs, just below the South Downs Way and is an ideal position for walking, horse riding, mountain biking and many other leisure pursuits.

The house itself boasts six bedrooms, five double rooms (two of which are en-suite) and one single room.  All rooms have wonderful views over the Sussex Weald and all have colour televisions.

There is a library for the use of our guests and you are more than welcome to browse through the books at your leisure.  For guests with laptops we have wireless broadband in all rooms.

Breakfast is taken in our kitchen/dining area overlooking the back garden, where, every morning, our bird table is alive with blue tits, great tits, nuthatches, bullfinches and many others. We even have pheasants and woodpeckers pitching up sometimes. It's better than watching television!

We cater for all tastes for breakfast and welcome vegetarians. We use organic milk and butter and all our eggs are free range.

Clayton itself is a peaceful, tiny hamlet with an interesting 12th Century church. Brighton is only ten minutes away by car and there you will find all the hustle and bustle that you desire. 

Brighton Pavilion is a very popular tourist attraction as is the Lanes, where you can browse around the tiny shops selling antiques, jewellry and a whole host of other things including boutique clothes.

During the year, because of our close proximity to Brighton, we have many visitors coming to watch the annual races and festivals that occur nearby.
