Stay at The Grain Store Lewes
Bring family and friends together in a unique self-catering holiday home in Sussex, where you can slow down, share good food and make lasting memories
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a family holiday or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, The Grain Store is a contemporary countryside retreat that offers space to reconnect. Close to Lewes, Brighton and the Sussex coast, it's an enticing place to recharge and enjoy life's simpler pleasures, surrounded by the beauty of the Sussex downlands.
Gather together
Some of the best moments happen around the dining table.
Begin the day with a leisurely breakfast, return from a walk for a long lunch or spend the evening cooking together before settling in for conversation, board games or a favourite film. With generous open-plan living spaces and room for everyone to spread out, The Grain Store is designed to bring people together without ever feeling crowded.
Make it your own
No two stays at The Grain Store are the same.
Sleeping up to six guests, our eco-friendly retreat is equally suited to a family holiday, birthday celebration, reunion with friends or multi-generational getaway. Fill your days with walks and adventures, plan something special to celebrate, or simply enjoy the rare luxury of having nowhere else you need to be.
However you choose to spend it, this self-catering holiday home in Sussex gives you the freedom to set your own pace and enjoy your time together exactly as you please.
Restore and reconnect
Make time to slow down, switch off and indulge a little.
Sink into the hot tub beneath open skies, enjoy a sauna with simple spa treatments at South Downs Sauna at The Grain Store, book a massage or private yoga session, or call on our wonderful private chef to prepare a feast to remember.
Choose whatever feels good and leave the rest of the day gloriously unplanned.
Explore further
The Grain Store puts some of the best of Sussex within easy reach.
Walk straight from the door into the South Downs, or spend the day exploring Lewes, with its medieval streets, independent stores and bookshops, antique centres, cafés, castle and famously individual spirit. Head to Brighton for beaches, culture, restaurants, shopping and nightlife, or discover nearby Sussex vineyards, beautiful gardens, historic houses, pretty villages and the coast.
After a day of walking, browsing or touring, The Grain Store is an inviting cocoon to come home to, with wonderfully comfortable spaces to sink into and the peace of the countryside outside.
