The Experience

Your apartment is above a lovely big gallery/hall – with a piano and a wood-burning stove. The building was once the workshop of artist Sir Frank Brangwyn and is in the heart of a thriving village with an arty heritage. Shirley uses the hall as an exhibition space sometimes and you can wander down the road to the award-winning Museum of Art + Craft, and visit the many craft makers, jewellers and artists who work in the village.

Find a quiet, comfy bedroom with garden views and a cosy sitting room with a kitchen area. Shirley leaves you homemade cakes, chocolates and breakfast things, and each morning brings over a tray of fruits, yogurt, local artisan bread and eggs for you to cook how you wish. Order the papers, borrow books and maps, sip your coffee and plan your day out.

The South Downs National Park is your stomping ground; Brighton, Lewes and Glyndebourne are all close by. Return to rustle up supper, or stroll down the road to one of the friendly pubs.

Reviews

Shirley has really thought about, and continues to think about, what makes a B&B special and that ensures that this happens. The freedom of the fresh part of the breakfast arriving outside the door is lovely and unusual. The stylish decor makes the rooms a pleasure to be in and the views of the garden are lovely. You are also welcome to stroll or sit in the garden if you want to. The bed is a massive 6-foot wide with a lovely, floaty duvet and plump pillows. It might be difficult to get out of!

We had a wonderful stay at the Jointure Studios in Ditchling. The apartment was superb with a super breakfast. Shirley was a an excellent host and so helpful. Plenty to see in the area.

Margaret, FREELAND OXFORD May 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Jointure Studios. Shirley made us very welcome in her home and her beautiful, peaceful garden. Spotless, beautiful accommodation. Lovely comfy beds. Bedroom looked directly out on the the garden. So quiet. Everything was thought of. The breakfast delivered to our door was delicious. Shirley provided a different little treat every morning. Although parking wasn't provided on site, it was not a problem to park in the free village car park just around the corner. Beautiful, friendly village. So much to explore nearby. We would thoroughly recommend.

Louise, Ashford Feb 2023

Had a very relaxing stay at The Jointure as a birthday surprise. Shirley and Kevin are great hosts- allowing us to borrow an OS map for local walks and letting us explore the garden to recreate an old family photograph of Frank Brangwyn. The apartment is private and the bedroom is very quiet with a comfortable bed, lovely shower and bath and beautiful products to use. The breakfast was very fresh with delicious home made cakes and biscuits also provided. Hope to stay again.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay in Shirley’s beautiful home. Being a bed & breakfast, but within the self contained flat gave us privacy, but with the huge benefit of superb, beautifully presented breakfasts, including imaginative fresh fruit salads (even in Nov) & a different homemade cake every day of our stay! The flat is part of a fascinating historic building, elegantly decorated with some beautiful pieces of art which underline its artistic history, and Ditchling is a short distance from some excellent walking routes. We would highly recommend it.

Location

The neighbourhood

Ditchling is a lovely old village within the South Downs National Park - close to Brighton and Lewes (eight miles), and easily reached by road or rail. It’s a stroll to two pubs, The Bull and the White Horse, as well as three cafes and a deli.

Local points of interest from thejointurestudios@gmail.com Crowther

We are ideally placed for the many Spring and Summer Festivals in the area: The Brighton Festival and Art Trails, Charleston Literary Festival, Glyndebourne and a little further away, Chichester Festival Theatre.
This is a beautiful area and ideal for walking and cycling: we are in the South Downs National Park with miles of open country yet within easy reach of Brighton and links to London and Gatwick. Cycles can be hired locally.
Ditchling is a quintessential English village: historic buildings, village green, duck pond - plus a fascinating Museum of Art+Craft, numerous cafes and two excellent foodie pubs.
There are a number of sporting events closeby: Plumpton Races, Hickstead Equestrian Showground and the London to Brighton cycle ride goes right past the door! Slightly further afield is the stunning racecourse at Goodwood.
Lewes is 15 minutes away: an historic town with hilltop castle, weekly food markets, independent shops and many antique emporiums to explore.
What else? Sussex has many beautiful gardens and historic homes. Brighton's Pavilion, Museum, and other seaside attractions are a short drive away. For the more sporting guests, there are numerous and varied golf courses.
