Ann was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Their home is beautiful and immaculate. We had a lovely stay. Bedding was the best we had our entire trip; so comfortable! Plus we got to love on some adorable cats.

What is there not to like about this place As soon as you arrived you are greeted with a warm welcome from Ann and Martin, shown to your rooms and every effort is made to ensure you settle in well. Located in fantastic location, the rooms are superb, all finished to a very high standard, add to that the fantastic en-suite to each room, how you cannot not have great stay. BIG bonus best Full English breakfast I have had in a long time. :-)

White Loge is in a great location with fabulous hosts and 5 star facilities. The bathrooms are amazing with superb showers and the softest towels. I really enjoyed a walk in the woods whilst breakfast was being prepared. I can't fault this place and am planning a return trip already..... Don't miss this B&B gem.

"The newly refurbished country home was a pleasure to stay in during our trip to East Sussex. Wonderfully quiet bedroom, six foot bed, fab bathroom and walk in shower. We slept brilliantly and enjoyed a superb cooked breakfast before setting out to visit the antique shops in Lewes. This B&B is perfect if you want class and is ideally located for Glyndebourne, Lewes or the south coast. Don't miss out!"
