Reasonable value for money

The room was perfectly adequate and the bed was comfortable. Bedding was clean but towels had a rather unpleasant smell (old cooking oil?!) water pressure in the shower was a little weak but again adequate. Certain areas (tops of plugs, windows edges etc) could have done with a wipe. Food was good and ample portions. Overall reasonable value for money.

Nice quiet place to sleep, great food

It was ideal for going to the truck show in Ardingly. I had a small single room with a very decent sized bathroom. It was nothing fancy but it was clean and comfy and secure and the pub does great food, and all staff are excellent. I would definitely come back.

Good value

The service and warmth was first class, as was breakfast! The room was well appointed with a good bed and bedding, but the bathroom was very small, making it a little uncomfortable for someone tall (and not the slimmest!)

Fabulous weekend

Travelled from Lancashire on the Friday and stayed until the Monday we were received with a welcome despite arriving late shown to our rooms which were very basic but comfortable. Only criticism no one replenished anything whilst we were there including toilet roll teabags et cetera however I’m sure if we have asked we would’ve got them. Breakfast was phenomenal lots of choice cooked to perfection to order plenty of juice, cereals, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. Stuff very friendly and welcoming. It is a little noisy if you wish to leave your windows open bearing in mind you can hear the noise from the beer garden but we weren’t particularly upset by this but other travellers may find this annoying. I would recommend staying here as it is very comfortable, friendly and food, gorgeous. We came for Brighton pride although it’s not near we were able to get Ubers on the bus on the Sunday from across the road.

The room and bathroom were small, a double bed would have been ideal, but two singles was too much for the size of the room.

Friendly, helpful and excellent value

The staff were excellent friendly and helpful. The room was perfectly comfortable and very clean. The busy road outside was a bit noisy when we are used to quiet at night so needed getting used to. Breakfast and evening meals were good. Excellent value

Interesting stay at the Wheatsheaf. Had a single room with a few unusual quirks like a green nightlight that was permanently on and a bath that you could only sit in for a shower/wash. One to remember. Pleasant staff, great breakfast.

Great place to stay. We were going to a concert In Brighton and this was an ideal place to stay. Staff were helpful about local area, amenities and getting to and from Brighton. Room is simple but perfect for what we needed. Breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious. Plenty of choice, happy to accommodate special dietary requirements. Highly recommend.
