South Downs Way B&B

South Downs Way B&B is a dog-friendly bed and breakfast in Poynings, a rural Sussex village within the South Downs National Park and near Brighton. The accommodation occupies a refurbished 17th-century cottage at Dyke Lane House, giving the property a historic setting with a straightforward, comfortable style.

The B&B has three en-suite double rooms, accommodating up to six guests. Each room includes free Wi-Fi, a radio and television, plus tea- and coffee-making facilities. Free off-street parking is available, making the property practical for guests arriving by car as well as those travelling on foot or by bicycle.

Breakfast is a full English meal made with locally sourced ingredients. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options are available, providing flexibility for different dietary requirements. The village pub is approximately 50 yards away and serves food, giving guests a nearby option for an evening meal.

The setting particularly suits walkers and cyclists exploring the South Downs. The South Downs Way is around half a mile from the B&B, with surrounding footpaths and countryside providing opportunities for longer walks and rides. Cyclists have access to secure bike storage and washing facilities, while dogs are welcome in the accommodation. Washing and drying facilities are available for dogs after time outdoors.

South Downs Way B&B works well for short breaks focused on the national park, as well as stays exploring Sussex. Its combination of en-suite rooms, included breakfast, parking and outdoor-focused facilities makes it a practical base for walkers, cyclists, dog owners and small groups. The character of the old cottage adds a sense of place without taking the accommodation away from its main purpose as a relaxed base for exploring the surrounding landscape.
