Was an ok place to stay but not great. Room was mostly ok, bathroom needed some TLC. Biggest complaint was the breakfast. Crockery and cutlery hadn't been cleaned properly. Food was not served hot. Was just an ok place...

Amazing stay in the centre of Sussex countryside

Amazing place close to Goodwod horse and motor racing venues. Great food. We had both lunch and dinner at the hotel. Tastefully decorated rooms with nice en suite facilities. Would have loved to have booked same period next year, but all rooms already fully booked. Lovely landlady / chef owner.

From the moment I arrived I felt welcome. I had a wedding cake to deliver the next day and the chef kindly stored it overnight in his walk in fridge. I was shown to my very comfortable room and all facilities explained. Breakfast choices were huge and delicious. Staff were polite and friendly.

Lovely Surprise

This was a lovely surprise. Stayed one night for a family wedding nearby, having driven past the pub hundreds of times through many different incarnations. The rooms were super clean, looked brand new and had everything we needed, the service was great and the breakfast hit the spot. It's a proper lovely traditional country pub.

We were tended to by courteous, pleasant staff. We did not require breakfast and the management reduced our bill taking this into consideration. The bedroom was spotless and very comfortable. It was a peaceful night which was undisturbed. The only possible thing missing was that no shower cap was provided! :-)
