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!

A perfect stay. The Berwick room was so relaxing and lovely to stay in. Would very happily go back! Thank you!
Tips: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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

Wow what a find! From the moment we arrived to when we left was a pure joy. John and Eileen are so warm and friendly and very happy to share their knowledge of the area. We received such a warm greeting, our room was spotlessly clean, amazing views of the surrounding countryside, freshly cooked delightful breakfasts, lots of laughter, bird song to wake us in the morning - what more could we want. We are already planning a return visit. We thoroughly recommend a stay at Bo-peep Farmhouse- we are already planning a return visit!! Thank you so much both of you.
Tips:We ate at The Sussex Ox which we thoroughly enjoyed, excellent food. There are so many places to walk and visit just from the Farmhouse in fact spoilt for choice.

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.

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.
Tips: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

As regards facilities the farmhouse had everything we needed. It’s situation was perfect with easy walks from the door. The room was incredibly comfortable - from the soft towels to the mini chocolate bars - and the breakfasts delicious. John and Eileen were so welcoming and run Bo Peep so well. Thank you!
Tips:Recommend the Cricketers in Berwick for lunch or dinner, as well as The George and Wingrove House in Alfriston. So much to do without straying far - Berwick Church and Middle Farm shop to name just two.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, many thanks to John and Eileen for making us feel so welcome, and for advice, recommendations etc.
Tips:Cricketers Arms, Berwick and Barley Mow good local pubs for dinner; Wingrove House in Alfriston even better but more expensive. Of local ‘sights’, Berwick Church with its Bloomsbury Group paintings is very special, and lots to enjoy in Alfriston. Its village stores is excellent, great choices for picnic lunch.

We have been coming here for many years on our annual visits to Glyndebourne. Last year of course, the pandemic called a halt to everything. But John and Eileen have weathered that storm and Bo-Peep is welcoming and comfortable as it has always been. It is a real little gem, nestling in a beautiful corner of the South Downs. Immaculately kept with really delicious breakfasts, you will want to come back again and again, as we do, to this delightful old farmhouse.
Tips:Glyndebourne of course for opera fans if you can get tickets well in advance. Otherwise, enjoy the walks along the South Downs Way and the ancient town of Lewes, the Bloomsbury Group’s farmhouse at Charleston for its festival of great lectures in May and open visits at other times. And just the lovely villages and country side which are quintessentially English.

Fabulous stay at Bo-Peep. John & Eileen couldn't have been more help. We'll certainly be back. It's a great location & perfect for exploring the area. You don't even have to get back in your car if you don't want to!
Tips:Eat at 2 local pubs which are withing 1/2 hours walking distance. Both were fine although the meal at the Cricketers was superb as was the service. We had a day of rain so we spent it in Lewes which was really interesting & recommended. We also visited Alfriston & Seaford & Seven Sisters. All well worth a visit.

Really lush and comfortable accommodation with some extra special touches to make you feel at home. Slept so well and just felt at home straight away. The hosts are friendly and helpful, and the lovely John gave us a much needed lift to the conveniently located pub. We just couldn’t walk that last mile! Breakfast was delicious, cooked by the very capable Eileen. I would highly recommend this B&B and may very well return myself if I’m in the area again.
Tips:The Barley Mow is an excellent pub and just a mile up a quiet track to reach. Excellent menu and service. Well worth the trip! Bo Peep is in such a beautiful setting and so well located for the South Downs Way walking, it’s an absolute gem. Stay here!!!

What a wonderful situation for a great B&B. Bo Peep Farm sits on the side of an old coaching road just under the South Downs. Great walking from the door step, either along the coaching road to Firle, Berwick, Alfriston or onto the South Downs Way. Glyndebourne is only a few minutes drive away if you don't fancy walking to the Opera. The accommodation has every thing you need, very clean, comfortable bed, views across the open country side, great pwoer shower in the on-suite, great choice of teas, coffee, tasty biscuits and a bowl of chocolates which is always kept topped up. The greakfast is very good and tasty which sets you up for the day. Eileen and John are great hosts full of information and ideas and make you very welcome as well as schooling you on the local pronunciations of the villages. Looking forward to our next visit

And, oh the perfect peace at night! Mum and I stayed only one night but you coukd easily while away a week here, there’s so much to do roundabouts, besides walking the beautiful South Downs Way.

Wonderful old farmhouse in a lovely quiet location (apart from the fantastic bird song obviously!) and equally wonderful hosts. John very kindly dropped us off at the pub and again at the top of the hill for the next day's walk (very steep = very grateful!). Sad not to see Mrs Mills (ask John when you get there) and also sad to leave for the grubbiness of Eastbourne....will be back to Bo Peep soon!
Tips:We were approaching the end of the South Downs Way - Bo Peep B&B is half a mile below the Bo Peep car park on the Way so the B&B is very handy for walkers. The pub at the end of the road (about a mile of easy walking) is OK but nothing special - to be honest after walking 16 or so miles I would have eaten anything.

Lovely rural location on the South Downs. Beautiful house with clean, well-equipped rooms and en-suites. A warm welcome from Eileen and John, who could not have done more to meet our needs. Delicious breakfast in a relaxed, cosy atmosphere. Information about the area on leaflets as well as more personal help from the hosts.
Tips:There is so much to do and see, from walking to sightseeing in the nearby towns and villages. Fresh country and sea air. We visited Brighton, Herstmonceaux castle and science centre and Drusillas. Country pubs and tea rooms were great.

Stunning location. Lovely walks from the front gate in all directions. And or short drives to wide range of local places of interest. Our favourite was Charlston house a 20 minute walk across the fields and we were delighted to hear that Bopeep farmhouse was lived in by one of the Bloomsbury set too. Comfortable stay (sunlit rural views from both bedroom windows and a good bed too) with great attention to detail – e.g. tiny tooth brush kit, Laundry bag, dairy milk choc snacks, excellent breakfast coffee just as we asked for it to be, lots of local information both written and personally recommended. Friendly hosts and other guests, though not intrusive.
Tips:Good pub with interesting menu in nearby village of Berwick where you mustn’t miss the beautiful church. The walk from the farmhouse up onto the South Downs Way was a bit steep but perfectly doable and is also driveable by another route. The potter at the top of the lane and her bird baths are absolutely fascinating. We saw pheasants strolling around everywhere!

From the first hello to the fond farewell when we left after two days, my wife and I felt we were among friends. We could not have asked for better hosts. Having wandered past the farmhouse on numerous occasions, and imagined staying there, we were not disappointed -by the outlook, accommodation, generous breakfasts, or by our treatment from John and Eileen. We will be back!
Tips:Good atmosphere at the Rose Garden Inn at Alciston; murals in Berwick church; beautiful Saxon church at Bishopstone (near Seaford); lots of excellent walking from Bopeep car park on the Downs above the farmhouse, and along the old Coach Road to Alfriston. Walk along the Cuckmere River from Alfriston to Seaford Head; or from Alfriston to Wilmington, Folkington and Jevington. There's a lifetime of walks to be had on the Downs!

Only minus is steep narrow steps up to the three rooms .This could be difficult for someone with any degree of disability . The turnoff from the main road on to Bo- Peep road is quite dangerous as there is a hill just after, so needs to be approached wire caution . Watch out for the Barley Mow pub and take it steady after that till you reach the right turn .
Tips:A short drive leads to the top of the hill and a well known walking path over the Downs . Charleston is close by on the main road and plenty of other interesting places not far by car . The coast is not far away and Newhaven ferry can be viewed from the top of the hill at the end of Bo- Peep Road .

Tips:The location is beautiful - a quick drive to the top of the hill and you'll get incomparable views of the South Downs. Also if you're a Bloomsbury fan (Or even if you're not) a trip (or walk) to nearby Charleston Farmhouse is a must. As is the Berwick Church. We enjoyed the neighbouring town of Alfriston very much. Much Ado Books was a highlight. A wonderful part of the world. Want to go back this weekend!

I stayed in the twin room with my friend and it was a great room for sharers. The beds were comfortable and the room was big enough. Like many English houses the ceilings are low so if you're tall it wouldn't be suitable.

Warm and cosy with a really good cooked breakfast!

Thank you for such a friendly welcome.....and those chocolates which were demolished on the first evening....for medicinal purposes of course!
Tips:Perfectly situated for access onto the 'South Downs Way'. A typically tile hung Kentish Sussex home, warm and cosy, the rooms and breakfast were to a high standard which coupled with kind hosts made for a memorable weekend. Thank you.

Bo Peep Farmhouse is the most wonderful place to stay. A beautiful location, near Glyndebourne and with walks on the South Downs or to Charleston, Berwick and Alfriston (personalised maps provided) A lovely room with cotton sheets, thick towels and a good shower. Delicious breakfasts with local produce and home made preserves. And Eileen and John are the perfect hosts. Do go!
Tips:The local pub (within walking distance) does good food, as does the Cricketers in Berwick. The church at Berwick and Charleston (the home of Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell)are both lovely. Near Charleston there's a pretty tea room/café with delicious home made cakes in a large garden. South Downs walks (from the farmhouse) and the cliff walks are great. John and Eileen have lots of advice and maps.

Great breakfast - variety offered . Only 3 rooms so not suitable for a large party . No single rooms . Steep staircase to rooms but rails on both sides and help is offered with suitcases. No problem for most people but if disabled - not sure . South Downs trail not far away and great views from Bo Peep car park towards Glyndebourne and to the ferry port at Seahaven on the other side of the summit . This is not really suitable for children .
