Hotels in East Sussex, United Kingdom

East Sussex lies on England's southeastern coast along the English Channel, famous for the white chalk cliffs of Seven Sisters and Beachy Head, plus the historic town of Rye with its cobbled streets and 13th-century church. The climate is mild but rainy-winters hover around 40°F (4°C) and summers around 68°F (20°C)-so pack a raincoat for hiking the South Downs Way or exploring Hastings' Old Town and the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings. In summer, you can swim at Brighton's pebble beach or try kayaking at Cuckmere Haven, while winter offers crisp walks to Birling Gap with fewer tourists and cheaper hotel rates.
