Lovely staff - so thoughtful and accommodating! I arrived early, coming immediately from a very long & tiring international flight. I was able to check in prior to the normal check in time and have a nice rest that afternoon. I was so grateful for that kind accommodation. I have some food, allergies and they were able to work within those restrictions, and provide delicious fresh flavorful meals. This is a small establishment and they provide very personalized thoughtful service. There are wonderful footpaths; you can easily walk to the nearby towns. It’s very pleasant to enjoy the countryside nearby.

Absolutely Fabulous!

Really great stay during a short walking trip to the South Downs. Lovely, comfortable room and en-suite bathroom, and the evening meal was absolutely fabulous! Big portions, tasty, and the Caribbean cuisine is exceptional. Great breakfast, as well, and lovely, friendly hosts. We’ll definitely be back.
