Perfect to visit with Charleston farmhouse for greater understanding and appreciation. Easy to do a fascinating 5k walking circuit to river along to Southease, follow South downs way up to ridge of downs to West and back down through Rodmell
Loved to visit this cottage. Interesting about the history. As a drawing day was left a drawing of a very beautiful tree.
Excellent treasure trove just a stones throw from Lewes. We explored the beautiful house and gardens. We were welcomed by lovely Sandra and Yvonne whom informed us on all matters Virginia Wolf. Found out I was more into Vanessa ;) the nearby Church and scenery is stunning! We’ll Definitely be visiting again when it opens in the spring!
Small but quaint with beautiful gardens. Very relaxing to sit toverlooking the downs, quintessential English Summer. As a cremacist, I did not like fireplace painted by Vanessa Bell as painting is a different art to ceramics and it lacked technical expertise. Note there was nowhere there or nearby to buy a drink. Staff were very friendly.
A nice house in beautiful and extensive grounds. We went on a sunny afternoon and it was quite delightful. It was the second time we had visited and I think I enjoyed it more this time. Park down the road and walk up. There are no refreshments at the house but you could take a picnic and then play bowls. Why not!
It was my dream to visit this place and exceeded all of my expectations. The staff was kind, sympathetic, and well-informed. So much information to share about the house and such passion. 100% worthy and an unforgettable life experience. Also, the place is astonishing. The garden is well-preserved. It’s like a fairy tale.
This is a, 16th century cottage where the famous English writer Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard Woolf lived from 1919. This cottage is undertaken by National Trust and they preserved the artifacts and household items used by the Woolfs. There is a beautiful garden located in front of the cottage with lots of plants , apple and pear trees. Really loved visiting this place.
I was struck by the impressive knowledge of the life of both Virginia and Duncan Grant from all the volunteers I spoke to. The small cottage is brought alive by objects and paintings owned by the couple. The gardens are beautiful and larger than I thought they would be and the views to the downs stunning. A great place to visit.
Such a wonderful house with a great atmosphere. Really friendly and helpful staff that we learnt so much from. The garden was also a joy. Very relaxing and peaceful.
Such a lovely find. Beautiful gardens and knowledgeable room volunteers. Would love to go back and Spey more time in this beautiful garden
