Groups Will Love...

The private hot tub at Longview creates a proper social hub for larger groups staying together. After long coastal walks or days exploring the South Downs, everyone can gather outside to soak and chat. The three-storey layout means the hot tub area stays separate from indoor living spaces, so some guests can relax outside while others prepare meals or rest indoors. It's particularly valuable during cooler months when outdoor seating isn't practical.

Pet Friendly

The property listing doesn't confirm whether Longview accepts dogs, so you must check directly with the owner before booking. East Dean's location within the South Downs National Park would be ideal for dog owners, with immediate access to off-lead walking routes. The village itself is dog-friendly, with the local pub typically welcoming well-behaved dogs. If pets are permitted, the three-storey house layout provides space for dogs to settle without being underfoot constantly.
