With 7 other members of my family, including two small children, we stayed for 2 nights at Tovey Lodge as our base for attending a wedding at nearby Stanmer House.

I came to England from Israel for a vacation with my boyfriend. I have friends in Brighton but I really wanted to experience the British countryside.
