    Breakfast could be a little bit earlier.

    We have arrived late night but staff friendly and helpful. Rooms specious. Only downside for my partner as he could hear fridge being on. Otherwise we enjoyed it. Breakfast was nice too

    Very warm and accommodating hosts! Nothing was too much trouble and they have recommendations for the surrounding area. Bed was comfy. Food was outstanding, particularly the breakfast! Mostly locally sourced and a fantastic garden to enjoy some wine from local vineyards. Lots of amenities in the room (coffee machine, small fridge, anything you would need for a short stay) Powerful shower and all toiletries supplied.

    Annoyingly the cab that picked us up took us to the wrong place for the start of our day 2 walk which added a hefty amount to the fare. It was a miscommunication that can happen.

    Great location for breaking up our weekend walking the South Downs way. All the staff were great. We ordered dinner and it was exceptional. Really gutted that we had to get back on the trail before breakfast was served as I'd read great things about it from other reviews. We were offered a bacon sarnie, which was a nice touch. That said, missing the full breakfast gives us a good excuse to visit again in the future.

    All excellent, very welcoming, and only issue was car parking, but easy to use the free village hall car park just across the road.

    The staff went out of their way, and as we had to leave early, they prepared bacon baps to take with us. They went above and beyond for us , and such a good very comfortable room with a huge bathroom

    Breakfast was not available early enough for me but landlord did organise a prepacked sandwich so I could get away early without starving! Not anything to do with the pub, but mobile phone signal at the location was useless, virtually zero on Three and very weak on O2. WiFi worked fine as an alternative once in the building.

    Very welcoming traditional pub with excellent menu in the restaurant. Comfortable bed and large bath with perfect plumbing, which is not always what you get in older English pub accommodation. If you want the feel of a South Downs village, this would be a great place to stay.
