I was well looked after by the staff, who went out of their way to be helpful and booked a very reliable taxi service on my behalf. Lovely village and a good set of church bells! Would stay again.

Mislead, would not recommend staying here

The staff in the pub were nice, that was the redeeming factor. Otherwise I would not recommend staying there. The pictures are misleading. Room 5 (large) on the booking page is tiny. The towels and bedding were cheap and bad quality. The wardrobe was a glorified small cupboard. There was one tiny bedside table. The description on hotels.com says that breakfast is available which is not true. They did not inform us that the kitchen closed at 6:30pm on Sundays so we had to go elsewhere for our dinner. Overall, it was disappointing and we will not stay there again but we made the best of it.

Would happily stay again

The room was small, but comfortable and clean, the bathroom was perfectly adequate. The staff were inobtrusive and very accommodating and the location was peaceful. Parking wasn't a problem and I would love to stay here again.

The White Horse Ditchling

My stay was good although confusion on checking in as there was no record that I had paid a £20 deposite. However I sorted this with the member of staff. Upon entering my room it was still in a state of preperation and the bed was not made or any sheets and the bins were still open. No issue as the member of staff who showed me to my room did the honours and made the room up. This was very helpful.

Great little place

Used as a quick one night stay for going to a comedy gig in Brighton. Well worth the money. Staff lovely and room clean. Bathroom was not within our room but we had an assigned bathroom further round the corridor.

I am not one for leaving negative reviews, but this place really wasn’t a nice place to stay. The place smelled of urine, the lights flickered continuously, TV didn’t work… it really wasn’t worth £95! I felt even further ripped off when I purchased 2x small bottles of water for £7 down at the bar!! Very bad vibe/atmosphere to this place. Definitely urge people to avoid.

The room did not look like the photos on their website (room 5 large). Could do with some curtains as only a blind. No breakfast available although says on their website 'breakfast available at extra cost'.Green emergency light should be in corridor not in the room. Size of the room was ok if you just want somewhere to sleep for the night.

Ideally situated for an overnight stay if walking the South Downs Way. Excellent Sunday lunch - we could understand why it was popular! The Landlord was very helpful in providing the best route to re join the South Downs Way the following morning. Unfortunately the nearby cafes were not open for breakfast on Monday - The Green Welly doesn't open and The Nutmeg doesn't open on Bank holidays! We resorted to buying two baguettes from The White Lion and having them for breakfast and lunch!
