A CITY & VILLAGE TOURS SLEEPOVER PACKAGE

The Super Swish Sussex SleepOver

3 days

A three day break staying in the heart of Sussex at Buxted Park - a truly magnificent country house hotel set in 300 acres of Ashdown Forest parkland. This tour combines three of our most popular Sussex day trips.

Day One: Arrive at Saint Hill Manor at midday for a 2-course lunch in the extraordinary Monkey Room named for the series of murals painted by a nephew of Winston Churchill for an American Ambassador’s wife. A succession of distinguished and eclectic owners from the Maharajah of Jaipur to the prolific sci-fi author and founder of Scientology L Ron Hubbard have each left their stamp on this 18th century house as we discover on an intimate tour with no roped off areas. The manor lunch and visit is followed by a coach tour of the Ashdown Forest with our Blue Badge guide before we arrive to check into the Buxted Park Hotel where every bedroom looks out onto the immaculate gardens. This evening enjoy the chef’s three course dinner in the 2 AA Rosette restaurant with three choices for each course.

Day Two: There’s a free morning after breakfast to enjoy the hotel and grounds. Why not sit on the terrace and take in the views and fresh air? At midday we head into Lewes with the Blue Badge guide for free time to buy a light lunch before a panoramic tour of the South Downs & Devils Dyke and a visit to the wonderful Sussex Prairie Gardens where tea and cake are served. We stop at a handsome 4* hotel in beautiful Bramber for a 2-course carvery dinner with coffee before returning to our hotel.

Day Three: We check out after breakfast and head off with the Guide for a tour of Mad Jack Fuller Country and see some of the most attractive countryside in all of England. We also visit the pretty town of Battle and take in Battle Abbey where you can buy a light lunch before heading for home by 3.00/3.30pm
