Romantic breaks
Landscapes for love
For lovers of the great outdoors, few destinations for romantic breaks in England are as seductive as the South Downs National Park. And if quiet luxury is your idea of bliss, picture yourself relaxing in a luxury eco-friendly haven surrounded by rolling landscapes, with all your creature comforts on tap.
Arguably the most beautifully designed one-bedroom holiday rental in East Sussex, The Studio is a secluded love nest in the heart of nature.
Created for couples seeking quality time together, it’s a place to slow down, switch off, and enjoy each other’s company in tranquil surroundings. Every aspect of The Studio’s design maximises the space: each window frames spectacular views, every detail is considered. The sumptuous King bed is dressed with soft stone-washed linen by Piglet In Bed, while the cosy living room with twin designer chairs offers a cocoon with a view and leads out to a sweet private garden.
Whip up a delicious brunch or midnight feast in the cleverly designed kitchenette with a luxury coffee machine and everything you could need to make tasty meals for two. Or treat yourself to a gourmet home-cooked meal delivery or a feast created by our private chef. These are just a few of the options on our menu of experiences to elevate your stay.
With the South Downs Way quite literally on the doorstep, you can spend your days walking through open countryside before relaxing in our charming sauna. Tucked away in a woodland space, moments away from your front door, South Downs Sauna Lewes is the place to revel in the stillness and enjoy a Finnish-style sauna experience to soothe mind, body and soul. Then indulge in a soak with bubbles in the deep designer bathtub or take a luxurious shower in The Studio’s stylish bathroom.
And when it comes to the most magical romantic weekends in Sussex, this is the place to relish the best of both town and country. Explore the historic landmarks, independent shops and boutiques and charming cafes and restaurants in Lewes, or the myriad cultural, culinary and coastal delights of Brighton & Hove.
Secluded and self-contained, The Studio is an inviting hideaway for long lie-ins, cosy evenings, and memorable breaks away where connection comes easily and time slows down.
