MINI-MOONING IN SUSSEX Lansdowne House is a Regency guest house recently launched in the East Sussex seaside resort of Hove, located just a three-minute walk to the beach. The townhouse offers four guest bedrooms and a selfcontained two bedroom apartment, situated in a Heritage Conservation area designed by the renowned architect Charles Busby. Owners Tom and Natalie met in the art world working as specialists at a London auction house. Keen to embrace the seaside lifestyle, they decided to move with their son from East London to the East Sussex coast. The move coincided with the nation entering the pandemic’s first lockdown, just as the housing market came to a halt. So, they spent the next eighteen months renovating the house, filling each room with the collected antiques and design pieces they have amassed during their careers. Greeted with refreshments upon arrival, guests enter the house via the beautiful hallway with the original sweeping staircase and cast-iron balustrading. Each room has been designed with relaxation in mind, with the use of calming pastel colours and stylish interiors that highlight the period features of the home. Taking inspiration from the heritage of the building, art and antiques can be found throughout. Natalie and Tom’s passion for good food is evident in the sourcing of local produce for breakfast. Guests can relax with breakfast in bed or venture down to the garden room where double doors open out onto the original walled garden. Weather depending, breakfast can also be served here in the summer months. Lansdowne House is a place to recline, exhale and enjoy the comforts of home.

We know you’re going to love it as much as we do! Lady C, owner of Castle Goring, Worthing, is also inviting the four-legged loved ones of couples marrying at the castle to join their owners on their special day. The new collection was established with friend and fellow dog lover, Lisa Carmel, with many of the garments consisting of beautifully lined harnesses onto which ‘extras’ can be added including custom-made ring-bearer pillows allowing couples to have their fur baby play a major role in the union of their owners. The items have been created with a considerable amount of attention paid to details, like little handkerchiefs tucked into jacket pockets, crisp white shirt collars, detachable custom-made bow ties, flower brooches, pearl and lace trims, all designed and made locally to the Castle by professional dog-loving seamstresses who can also provide a measuring and fitting service. The full range of Lady C’s Lords & Ladies garments will soon be available on the Castle Goring website although the couture range is available now.
