Picture the scene: It’s the first morning waking up in your luxury Sussex holiday home. You’re visiting the area for a long weekend, and the only things on your agenda are relaxation and connection. 

You’ve had the best night’s sleep in ages, and you have 72 unplanned hours lying ahead of you. 

Bliss. 

After a soak in the bath and a leisurely start, you decide to venture out to Worthing, where you’ll enjoy a leisurely stroll along the seafront, a peruse of the various independent and High St shops, and maybe even a dip in the ocean.
