The White Horse

About The White Horse

Dramatically located on a cliff top, the White Horse Hotel has spectacular views over the sea. It is located on the edge of the South Downs just three miles from Brighton. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Rottingdean was a smugglers' village - a time recalled by Rudyard Kiplings' A Smugglers Song, If you wake at midnight, and hear horses' feet, Don't do drawing back the blind, or looking in the street... Five and twenty ponies, trotting through the dark - Brandy for the Parson, Baccy for the Clerk. Nowadays the nearest we come to smuggling is snuggling in our sumptuous accommodation. The attractive bar and restaurant have sea views and offer an interesting and extensive menu. With its patio and terrace, it is an ideal location for a break by the sea.
