Between Eastbourne and Seaford, the famous meanders of the River Cuckmere reach the sea. We are priviledged to have the use of house and garden at no. 5 Coastguards Cottages, perching right above the sea.

We will focus on responding to the land and seascape quickly with a simple, portable kit.

Materials can be provided if required.

In the case of bad weather, there is ample space to observe the drama from indoors.

The cottage offers accommodation in its romantic studio with majestic views.
