Bo-peep Farmhouse

7th October 2024:

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Bo Peep Farmhouse. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Eileen and John and given a thorough tour of the property. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, providing a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfect. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend Eileen and John’s property highly enough. Thank you for such a memorable stay—we will definitely be back!

Visited Farley’s House - Home of the Surrealists. Lee Miller’s home. Amazing! Visited Charleston - Bloomsbury artists/writers house. Berwick Church - to see painted murals by Bloomsbury artists. Walked along Eastbourne pier at night. Ate at The Berwick Inn. Lovely food. Continued on to Dungeness to see Derek Jarmin’s seaside garden.

Bopeep is a special place, located in a beautiful setting and just insists on relatation from arrival. Rooms are gorgeous with stunning views. The surrounding landscape and nature is simply spectacular. Ideal for hiking too with short but fabulous walks nearby. The breakfast was so fresh, served with such attentive care and both John and Eileen were great hosts. I really enjoyed every minute of my stay.

Take a walk to the local and listen for owls on the way home. Take in the breathtaking hilltop view or hike it if you can. We also visited a local church with magnificabt murals, not to be missed. The area is really fabulous for nature and photography.

Would Recommend: Yes

The first thing that strikes you when you arrive is the stunning location, it’s breathtaking. Firle Beacon rises menacingly in front of you and the entire landscape demands you to explore. The Farmhouse itself is beautiful too. John and Eileen are wonderful hosts. Friendly, helpful and so very easy to have a chat with. They cook a lovely breakfast to set you up for the day ahead too! We stayed in the Firle Room which has a lovely dual aspect one of which is a fantastic view of Firle Beacon and we were rewarded with beautiful sunsets and even a super moon! There are some great walks from the doorstep. The Old Coach Rd runs either side of the Farmhouse taking you to Firle one way and the lovely villages of Alciston and Berwick the other. This road will also allow you a walking route to Alfriston too. All in all we loved it and will definitely be going back to Bo Peep.

There is easy and convenient visitor parking. We walked to the Cricketers Inn in Berwick along the Old Coach Rd, which serves lovely food and local beers. Alciston village is an easy walk. You can also easily walk to the summit of Bo Peep from the Farmhouse.

We enjoyed a lovely 2 night stay at Bopeep Farmhouse. Our hosts, Eileen and John, gave us a very warm welcome and were very friendly. The breakfast was freshly cooked for us and delicious. The room was comfortable and clean with lovely views.

Bo peep Farmhouse is in a perfect location for walking, cycling and exploring the local countryside. We were able to walk across the fields to nearby Charleston House. (It’s a brilliant location for enthusiasts of the Bloomsbury group!). We ate two delicious meals at The Ram Inn (Firle) and Cricketers Arms (Berwick), both lovely old pubs. Historic Lewes also very close by.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th July 2024:

Beautiful farmhouse tucked at the foot of the South Downs well off the A27 on the old coach road track. We know the area well and walked from the Ram where we ate following our wedding and our bags were dropped off earlier in the day and were waiting for us in our room. With windows on 2 sides of the room as well as in the bathroom we loved the old farmhouse style with sash windows and as a couple of oldies we loved relaxing in the armchairs on our arrival at sunset following a busy day. The breakfast was wonderful with a good choice, nice chopped fresh fruit and yoghurt as well as local bacon and sausages and free range eggs. Marmalade and jams were homemade and the proprietors were very friendly and chatty. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a very happy stay and plan to return for our anniversary next year.

The food at the Ram in Firle was good. We had intended to eat at The Cricketers at Berwick on the Sunday but after visiting Birling Gap and Littlington Tea Gardens we realised that on a Sunday The Cricketers stops serving food at 5pm. However, we discovered that the village stores was open in Alfriston until 6pm on a Sunday and bought a selection of tasty food for a picnic.

Excellent. The hosts, John and Eileen were friendly and welcoming. My room was just right with a view of the garden. The location is very quiet. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and included all the extras including fresh fruit and home made preserves and honey.

I really appreciated the early check-in which allows plenty of time to change ready for a performance at Glyndebourne. Note that the staircase up to the first floor rooms is steep and may not suit guests with limited mobility.

23rd June 2024:

A very friendly couple who felt like family after the first meeting. Very knowledgable about the area. The location of the Farmhouse is beautiful, very peaceful and serene, yet just a stones throw off the A27. Great breakfasts! Can't wait to go back again.

Go to see Berwick Church, very close by - amazing paintings by the "Bloomsbury set", also Charleston Farmhouse at Firle. Visit The Church of the Good Shepherd at Wilmington. Can be quite difficult to find but well worth persevering. A tiny, tiny church in a lovely position. The Long Man, also at Wilmington, an amazing view from quite close up. The Clergy House in Alfriston. Very interesting, and has a pretty little garden at the back. Also Alfriston village. Beachy Head. Anywhere on the South Downs is worth a visit as it's such a beautiful area. Amazing views everywhere.

For me this was the perfect stay - a gorgeous location, great hosts who couldn't be more welcoming and helpful - calling to secure a table at a great local pub for dinner - and...that breakfast. I can't wait to go back.

The old coach road was a great find for me. Tucked right in under the South Downs, passing outside Bo Peep's front door towards Berwick in one direction, towards Charleston Farmhouse and Firle in the other. Lovely, peaceful walking.

This is a great place to stay if you are exploring all the places with Bloomsbury connections - Charleston Farmhouse, Monk's House, Berwick Church are all nearby, plus the lovely village of Alfriston and more.

We had a fantastic stay at Bo-peep Farmhouse whilst walking the South Downs Way. Eileen and John are the perfect hosts and it was a real pleasure chatting to them and getting some of their vast local knowledge! The house itself is in a superb location a short walk off the trail - a very quiet and peaceful spot. The room was lovely and we could tell the care and attention to detail that went into preparing it. It was extremely clean and comfortable with lots of nice touches. The breakfast was delicious with a selection of cereal, yoghurt and very nice fresh fruit salad, followed by a cracking full English to order! This was our favourite place that we stayed in our week hiking the trail and I would highly recommend it. Thank you to Eileen and John for a really nice experience.

Eileen and John made our special weekend even more delightful! Lovely room, great breakfast (even the dogs were gorgeous) and amazing location right on the Sussex Downs (and just an hour's walk from Alfriston).

Bring good boots! The Singing Kettle at Alfriston is an institution that lives up to its reputation. The Cricketers is also great for dinner (not on Sundays).

An ideally situated guest house with a warm welcome and really helpful hosts. The breakfasts, the beautifully cared for rooms were all to the highest standard. Friendly and accommodating, no one could ask for more really.

Ideally situated if you want to walk down to Charleston, beautiful views to the sea of the hill from their house. Fine walking just about everywhere you turn and gorgeous little towns filled with quirky and excellent book shops and tea rooms.

Excellent b&b in great and quiet location. John and Eileen very welcoming and go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. Very comfortable bed and powerful shower. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had after staying at many b&b’s. Great cereal and fruit selection followed by freshly cooked breakfast. Toast brought to the table with breakfast so not cold! All in all highly recommended and we’ll be back for sure. There is so much more to this area than you may appreciate.

Close proximity to many attractions in South Downs national park. Bout 10/15 minutes from Eastbourne attractions and theatres. Few minutes from Historic villages of Alfriston and Firle. Firle House well worth a visit and a has a quality cafe with terrace. Nearby are the Longman and white horse hillside features, together with the Longman brewery. Also try and find the quaint little church at Lullington and the attractively decorated church at Berwick village. For picturesque views don’t miss Firle beacon

Would Recommend: Yes

The hosts made us very very welcome always smiling very attentive very polite VERY helpful with local knowledge. We would recommend it any time. The cleanliness was next to none.

Very friendly, efficient and helpful hosts in all respects. The A4 sheet OS map was invaluable.

A gentle walk up the hill (with plenty of stops), along the top and then down to the café at Charleston for lunch, followed by a return along the coach road makes a good circular saunter.

Such friendly & welcoming hosts in a superb Bed & Breakfast. Indeed the beds were like sleeping on clouds and we had the most delicious and lovingly prepared breakfast in the morning! We wish the couple all the best, strong health and the power to carry on as long as they wish under a good star!

Great welcome, tips on things to do/ where to eat in the evening. Breakfast was excellent, set up nicely for the day. Most enjoyable stay on the South Downs Way

Host offered a couple of suggestions, both of which were excellent: the Cricketers pub is ideal for drink or dinner. The church in Berwick is well worth a look for the interior paintings

Absolutely loved our all too brief stay at the Bo-peep Farmhouse. The location is idyllic, John and Eileen were welcoming, and we had a lovely time conversing with them after our breakfast on the day of our departure. The room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Bo Peep is an independent gem and I fully recommend staying here as a base to explore the surrounding countryside and all its riches.

A very enjoyable stay, excellent hosts, very comfortable room and delicious breakfast. Would definitely return.

Fascinating area historically and excellent walking on the downs. We were at the Glyndebourne opera for 2 nights so did not eat locally.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd June 2022:

The only negative would be the inaccessibility of the garden. It was a beautiful day, I wanted to take my book to the inviting Lutyens bench, but as it turned out there the gate was padlocked. That wasn't so nice.

Would Recommend: Yes

The gate is padlocked because if it is left open it's too easy for the dogs to get out and onto the road. The thing to do is ask, we then put the dogs in and unlock the gate! John

If you wish to visit Glyndebourne, Charleston Farmhouse or the South Downs Way, you should stay at Bo-Peep. You will be cared for & entertained by 2 delightful folk who are genuinely hospitable & good company. You can walk to the quintessential Sussex tea rooms at Bean Stalk cafe, Berwick church with its painted murals & Firle with its rose covered cottages - all without even getting in a car…

I can't recommend Bo-peep Farmhouse highly enough - charming hosts, very comfortable and clean bedrooms with shower room en suite, delicious full English breakfast, as well as fruit and yogurt, plus beautiful scenery. We return to Bo-peep Farmhouse every year.

We have been coming to Bo-Peep Farmhouse for many years. John and Eileen are the best of hosts and their breakfasts are excellent. The rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. We would never want to stay anywhere else.

We always stay here when we come to Glyndebourne but there are many other places to visit and things to do - Charleston, Lewes and wonderful walks on the Downs - we always go up the hill above the Farmhouse to look at the beautiful English countryside before we leave. It is very peaceful and calming.

What a lovely place to stay and what brilliant, relaxed and helpful hosts. We were down for our daughter's wedding and John and Eileen were so kind, even finding us space in the fridge for food for the pre-wedding supper. we had a comfortable room and enjoyed their excellent, freshly cooked breakfasts, conversing with fellow guests. this is a brilliant place to stay for Glyndebourne, visits, walking on the South Downs Way - and local weddings!

John and Eileen will know the best places to eat (and to avoid). There are plenty of local places to visit - Firle, with its lovely church (and the Ram Inn), Charleston, Lewes and the many local villages
