Room was nice. Bed comfy. The bells from the church fantastic. Probably the only strange thing was breakfast. Help your self continental. No staff in at all. Seemed to work though.

The eight bells has been completely redecorated and beautifully so, a true country Inn. Our room was clean, with great duvet and pillows, bathroom was immaculate. The staff and hospitality were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, after three nights and four days we knew them all by name and they knew ours! Would I stay there again? In a heartbeat!!

Room was TINY. Smelt of toilets and woken by multiple church bells at 5 am. No staff at breakfast time. Cereal and toast. Wouldn’t stay here again. Not worth the money.

Fantastic stay at the Eight Bells Inn. We had a vineyard tour at Bolney Wine Estate and this pub with rooms was perfect. Very friendly staff and excellent food.
