"Nestled deep in the countryside is this 70 acre farm and wine estate with a shop, a tasting room, a restaurant and stylish bedrooms. Flavour-driven cooking focuses on pure, fresh tastes, with some produce coming from the estate. Interesting global wines, including their naturally produced selection, accompany." - Michelin Inspector

The London Alcohol Delivery Guide - London - The Infatuation

"To be honest, when it comes to Tillingham Wines we’re not sure whether to drink their bottles of wine, or frame them. We have a feeling we’ll end up going for the former, but this English wine company make some seriously good looking natural wines. You can order from their online shop, which includes helpful tasting notes like ‘sexy oak’ and ‘chablis from another mother’." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

Tillingham, Peasmarsh, nr Rye, Sussex - Explore & Book

"Tucked among the rolling hills of East Sussex, Tillingham is a unique combination of winery, restaurant, working farm – and, now, boutique hotel. And on every count it's pretty special. The organic, low intervention winery uses an ancient Georgian technique, in which wines are buried for 7 months in huge clay urns or qvevri, to yield an award-winning amber tipple laden with "nectarines and marmalade". The restaurant offers super-seasonal, zero-waste menus, using beef, lamb and vegetables from their own biodynamic farm, plus a wood-fired pizza oven for unfussy al fresco feasts in an open-sided Dutch barn. Lest this all sounds too virtuous, there's also a breezy bar with bottle shop, big windows and a lively buzz. The farm itself – comprising cattle, chickens, fruit trees, walled gardens and 70 acres of woodland – is a heart-warming lesson in sustainability and soil regeneration, and a rare opportunity to connect with ancient countryside just 2 hours' drive from London.As for the 11 rooms, which are housed in a traditional hop barn, they're peaceful, minimalist and very natural – in keeping with the ethos of the farm. Think retro designer furnishings, sheepskin rugs (which you can take home from the on-site shop), pressed wildflowers and views of rolling vineyards. Or get even closer to nature in a bell tent. The whole estate was restored by eco-minded winemaker Ben Walgate, who started out stomping the grapes with his own feet. The Tillingham experience is not about luxury (although it's very comfortable): it's about a complete change of scenery and pace, and a reconnection not only with the earth, but also with your soul, your taste buds, and the lucky friend you bring. Highs The setting is truly magical: sweeping views, ancient woodlands and a glimpse of sea between the rows of vines; we loved the sun decked terraces and alfresco summer seatingThe bang-on-trend, seasonal, farm-to-table restaurant received rave reviews from us, do book in advance as it's understandably popularWorthy recipients of a Michelin Green Star for gastronomy and sustainabilityJust 2 hours from London by road; or even less by train (1 hour to Rye, then a 10-minute taxi)Stay longer to visit the historic town of Rye, its fishing harbour and the beach of Camber Sands Lows It's closed every Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday No kids under 10 (except for day visits)There's no WiFi on the estate (but there is good mobile coverage)If bringing a dog, book early (there's only 1 pet-friendly room) and be aware that they must be kept on a lead inside the estateAside from the restaurant and bar, there isn't any other communal indoor space for guests to relax in" - Ben Reed

I’m also surprised at any negative reviews - what’s not to like! We stayed here for one night and really enjoyed the experience. We had lunch in the pizza barn - delicious pizza and relaxed vibe although service could have been a little more attentive. The wine tour was a lot of fun and very informative, with generous wine pours as we stood and amongst the vines. The crowd was very young and cool which was refreshing/exciting to see at a vineyard. We enjoyed a walk on the estate and the serenity of the viewing deck. It’s all just beautiful. Our room was cosy, beautifully decorated, and with a gorgeous view of the meadow. As we checked in reception staff were super welcoming. Since we had everything we needed they left us to it, which was perfect. Dinner was included in our room rate and was fantastic. The only slight negative was the breakfast - a little lacking in choice and again attentiveness of service. But we absolutely loved our stay and will return as soon as we get the opportunity!

Fantastic time at Tillingham on a cold November Sunday. Enjoyable wine tour with Jess . Great drinks at the bar. Super meal in the restaurant. Everywhere is nicely appointed. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Enjoyed a great visit today. The food upstairs was a welcome respite after a beautiful walk from Rye. We were sat with a window overlooking the vineyard and enjoyed every dish we were served and the wine alongside it. Service was great and they went above and beyond when we mentioned how much we liked the bread. The tour after was also enjoyable and the guide extremely knowledgeable. Would definitely visit again.

This was a stay booked on a voucher for an experience. The inclusive dinner of the voucher is no longer offered but I was aware so raised it and it was all sorted out before we arrived.||We received a warm welcome at reception and were shown to our feature room which was well appointed with lovely views although the decor was a little tired. It was a hot day and the South facing room was warm but fans had been provided. We also had tea and coffee making facilities in the room.||The wine tour was engaging with generous samples to taste and we walked across the Estate afterwards. Dinner was excellent, lovely fresh seafood and a well cooked steak to share. There is a good wine list (not just Tillingham wines). We took coffee in the bar downstairs which was very comfortable. Breakfast was a little odd and probably the least good part but it was fine for what we wanted.||Overall it was a very memorable and enjoyable experience with impeccable service from an enthusiastic team.

We stayed for one night and overall had a lovely experience. The food was absolutely amazing, really impressed, and the wine tour was a real highlight! We especially enjoyed the white wines. There was a mix-up with our payment during check-in and check-out, which was handled a bit publicly and made us feel uncomfortable at the time. However, the hotel has since acknowledged the mistake and apologised, which we really appreciate. The bedroom could use a little TLC, some scuffs on the walls and minor wear and tear that could easily be refreshed to match the otherwise lovely experience. Despite these small issues, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

I’m surprised at some of the negative reviews here because it couldn’t have been further from our experience. We were a group of 11 staying as part of a corporate retreat. We were extremely warmly welcomed and felt well accommodated at all times. The rooms were lovely, food in the restaurant (dinner and breakfast) was excellent with great service. We took a wine tour, which was exceptionally well hosted and informative - no shortage of wine on offer either. This is a stunning venue offering a really lovely experience

This charming vineyard farm is nestled in the peaceful countryside of Rye, offering a truly relaxing escape. The on-site restaurant was a lovely surprise—great food, attentive service, and beautiful views that make the whole experience even more special. The wines were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a sunny afternoon. We really enjoyed the food as well; everything we tried was full of taste. The only slight letdown was the salami & coppa dish, which felt a bit small compared to the rest, but that’s just a minor point. Overall, I’d definitely recommend stopping here after your wine tour—or even just for a lovely meal in a serene setting. The staff were professional, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Absolutely loved it! 🍷✨

Me and my partner had a wonderful stay in the bell tents. The setting was beautiful and picturesque, with everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed - even our own private indoor bathroom with shower. We loved the roaring fire at night, exploring the vineyard and viewing platform, and enjoying some of their lovely wines. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and both dinner (with a generous food allowance) and breakfast were absolutely delicious. A truly idyllic stay — we’d 100% recommend it.
