“You came and looked and saw the view, long known and loved by me, green Sussex fading into blue, with one grey glimpse of sea.”
There are so many fabulous places to stay in the South Downs, as well as in Lewes and Brighton. At Artelium we are blessed to be situated in the most beautiful surroundings and have many great accommodation options near the vineyard.
