Little Shiplake is equipped with tea, coffee, milk and juices for your convenience.

All ingredients for our breakfasts will be locally sourced where possible. We support the local farm just a mile down the road A.Turner and Son by buying all our sausages and bacon from them, and our eggs are from our very own free range hens, Barbara, Eleven, Biscoff and Snickers.
At Little Shiplake we really care that you have the most comfortable stay possible and we are very proud of our high standards of cleanliness and presentation. The new bathroom was fitted in January 2013 and is both very practical and well appointed with a wonderful walk in shower area. We totally re decorated in spring 2017, including all carpets being cleaned and for these reasons we have decided on a no pets policy, to insure that Little Shiplake stays as presentable and clean as possible.

We had a great stay here last summer.
Used it as a base to explore along the coast.
We went to Lewes Priory, Glyndebourne, Newhaven Fort, Seaford, Eastbourne, Middle Farm,... read more paddle-boarding at Cuckmere ...
Our daughter loved being close to the horses and getting the chance to ride.
Nice pub just over the road.
Thanks Sam!

Great location for visiting South Downs and coastal areas. Good standard of accommodation adjacent to stables with private garden. Main road traffic quiet at night. Sounds of horses hooves and... read more church bells in the morning was just lovely. Friendly, helpful owner close by.

This was the perfect cosy cottage, set in a stunning location. Beautiful gardens surround it with a private outside area. The cottage is detached and well equipped.
The owner Sam... read more is very friendly and accommodating and she kindly took time out to let me daughter feed the chickens and and stroke the horses.
Great location for visiting nearby Lewes and Brighton is only a short drive away. Beautiful Southdowns countryside with plenty of places to go walking. Also close to a few great pubs with good food and lovely beer gardens.
We will definitely be back!

The location is far enough off the beaten path, but actually not too far from the beach, centre, and surrounding areas such as Eastbourne and Hastings. Until this trio, York... read more has been my favourite place, in the U.K., but it’s quite far. This accommodation is closer to Milton Keynes, and it has everything! It is self catering and nothing.,I mean, nothing was needed. We were truly comfortable and I slept, peacefully, on the first night which is unusual, for me, in new places. Seaford and New Haven beaches are a must visit, as well as a irking Gap and Cuckmere. Go towards Hastings to Alexandra Park, but don’t follow SatNav! Part on St Helens road. Our host, Sam was great and we enjoyed fresh eggs and milk..a real fresh farm treat! The horses, Jasmine and Bren will greet you well; especially if you have a polo mint! This is a must stay.

Sam is such a nice host, friendly and approachable. Cottage was clean and tidy, with everything you could possibly need. The village shop was a short walk away if you... read more need anything (like freshly baked pan au chocolat!). The chickens and horses were so friendly and amusing. We drove to Bopeep upon Sam's suggestion and had an amazing walk to Alfriston and back. Would I book again? Absolutely!

The cottage is well equipped and Sam, the host, has ensured that everything you need is readily available. Plenty of toiletries provided and a full cooked Breakfast delivered to you... read more should you choose this option. Cupboards well stocked with essentials and Sam also provided some additional extras which were hugely appreciated.
A great base to explore the surrounding countryside and coast. Lots of information about local walks and horses and chickens on site gives this a Lovely country feel.
