1 / 17Beekeepers Rest
Seaford, Sussex
A stylish two bedroom cottage for four on the edge of Seaford, with views over the South Downs, a fully enclosed terraced garden, a wood burner and two dogs welcome.
Beekeepers Rest is a stylish cottage on the edge of Seaford, looking out over the South Downs National Park and within walking distance of the beach. Sleeping four, with a welcome for two dogs, it is a dog friendly base with easy access to the local footpaths, which the dogs will be keen to get started on.
The front steps lead up to a welcoming hallway with room for coats and shoes, and on into a lounge that is light and bright, with rural views and a Smart TV. The cottage has a wood burner too, with the first basket of logs supplied, and that is where the two dogs will want to be once the walking is done. The kitchen diner has a dining table with seating for everyone.
The pretty double bedroom at the front looks over the South Downs and has a little sunroom attached, with two armchairs for a morning coffee or a good book. The other bedroom, at the rear, is a king size zip and link, which becomes a twin on request, and the bathroom has a shower over the bath. Outside, the fully enclosed terraced garden has a patio table and chairs and a charcoal BBQ, a lovely place for the dogs to explore while supper cooks.
The quaint village of Bishopstone, with its historic medieval church and pleasant walks, is within walking distance, and the trails of the South Downs are there for keen walkers and their dogs. The Seven Sisters Country Park and Birling Gap are within easy reach, as is the pretty village of Alfriston, and Eastbourne and Brighton are close for shops and places to eat.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Beekeepers Rest dog friendly?
Yes, Beekeepers Rest welcomes up to two dogs. It's a good fit for two couples travelling with their dogs, and the beach and local pub are both within walking distance, so you won't need to leave your dogs alone in the car much during the week.
Are dogs allowed at Beekeepers Rest year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability and any conditions around your dates.
What should I know before visiting Beekeepers Rest with my dog?
The enclosed terraced garden is great for letting dogs settle in, though it's more of a tiered space than an open lawn, so it suits dogs who like to explore and find a favourite spot rather than tear around. The bedroom and bathroom are both on the ground floor, which is handy if you're travelling with an older dog who struggles with stairs. Walks are genuinely on the doorstep — Seaford Head is a short stroll from the end of the promenade, and the Cuckmere valley and Seven Sisters are around 3 miles east for longer days out.
