Locally.

The beach at Middleton-on-Sea, known as ‘Elmer Sands’, forms part of the UK’s sunniest coastline and is beautifully untouched. Low tide reveals a long stretch of sand, punctuated with rock pools and sea defence structures. At high tide only a shingle promenade remains. The town is similarly charming and tranquil. Guests enjoy Ye Olde Tudor Butchery, Ye Olde Fish & Chippe Shoppe and Blake’s Beach Bar and Terrace, situated a short way up the shore. Most bucolic is the local baker at Le Ble d’Or who delivers pastries and sourdough by bike in the early mornings. Immediately north of Middleton are the rolling hills of the West Sussex South Downs, with its walking routes, iconic views, vineyards and historic landmarks. Middleton-on-Sea is the perfect base from which to explore it all.

Sustainably.

There is an electric car charger available for use by guests. An electric Everhot stove provides year-round heating using a more sustainable fuel source than gas alternatives. 

Historically.

The first houses at Middleton-on-Sea were developed during the roaring ‘20s by Captain Rowlands Coldicott. Sun Beach House was one such villa, purposely designed to maximise its coastal position and breathtaking sea views. Since then, the current owners have finessed the space into the ideal retreat. The entire garden was re-designed with porcelain paving, wooden decking, and an outdoor Beach Bar. Inside, the house was extended into the roof with the new ‘Crow’s Nest’ bedroom, boasting 180 degree panoramas.
