    All good, nothing to add here.

    Lovely private B&B in a friendly couple's home, lovely ancient cottage. Boutique with just a handful of accommodations. Lovely cosy room with en suite. Perfectly located at the foot of Devil's Dyke as the last stay on my hike of the South Downs Way. Social too with the other walkers. Lovely pub opposite for dinner.

    Just a few miles from Brighton, in a very quiet little village. Mike and Sue were excellent hosts. The room was very quaint and comfortable for a one night stay and the breakfast was excellent. We will definitely be staying again.

    Friendly greeting from Mike the owner on arrival, who looked after us well throughout our stay. Very comfortable, clean room, easy parking and delicious breakfast. We would thoroughly recommend this B and B if you are exploring the beautiful area of the South Downs.

    I travelled to Poynings to do an outdoor first aid course, and I found South Downs Way B&B online. I booked exchanged messages with Mike regarding the location of the place and the venue for my course, Mike was extremely helpful and helped me with all the information and offered to drop me at the course venue everyday. Mike and Sue are extremely kind and helpful hosts. I enjoyed the breakfast, and I am very thankful to the hosts for all the help they extended.

    I have no negative things to say about our stay.

    There was a very friendly welcome when we arrived. Our room was more than adequate for our needs and was nicely furnished. The bed was very comfortable. There were lots of choice for breakfast which was served in a lovely dining room.

    Wifi reception intermittent but due to the area rather than the property.

    Easy to get a private parking place at the property, check in very friendly and thorough. Breakfast preference booked on check in with preferred menu and time. Room very cosy and compact. Bed very comfy with extra pillows and blankets in a wardrobe if needed. Shower very good and water hot. Lots of toiletries available and slippers! Very welcoming and enjoyable stay. Lovely pub across the road (The Royal Oak) serving excellent food.
