This is a lovely place to stay run by a great team
The wood fired pizzas were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast menu which was much better than anticipated for the price. The surrounding area is very beautiful too.
Lovely place to stay whilst walking the South Downs Way, the staff were all brilliant, so friendly and attentive and couldn't have done more to make sure we were happy.
This was a lovely country pub in a lovely area. It was easily accessible. The room was a good size for a twin and the staff were very friendly. Great for a cosy last minute stay.

Quintessential english pub with good food and no attempt to add the optional tip, a distressing feature of so many eateries. Set in superb countryside this place is charming with friendly hosts.
Great place to stay and convenient for the South Downs Way, I had a very smat bedroom with bath and shower on suite. The food was very good though a bit of a limited menu but enough for most people I would think.
Excellent traditional English inn with lots of charm and character. The comfortable, warm room on a freezing January night was most welcome, as were the open log fires in the bar/restaurant. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating and the food was to a very good standard. The Timothy Taylor’s Landlord Bitter was an unexpected bonus !
This B&B was a great little find for our overnight stay. Room was comfortable and clean with a super comfy bed. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. The pub was busy when we arrived and seemed very popular, if you fancy food or a drink it all looked great.
Breakfast was the highlight, I had the Avacado on toast and my partner had the cooked breakfast.. one of the best he’d ever had he said!!
Really nice country pub style stay in the heart of the country side. Really nice accommodation (had a few minor wear and tear issues) and good breakfast every day. Would happily stay again. Do be aware pub can get busy making car parking a minor issue if you arrive late in the evening but saying that we never failed to find somewhere to park.
The pub is set on a country road with ample parking. The rooms are clean and modern, the furnishings are to a high standard. The bathroom is also very clean and modern with some nice touches. The shower was of good power and great temp control. The pub and food was good, nice ambience in the pub and used by the locals for food, so must be good.

The place felt clean, but not so great decoratively. Paint issues around one of the windows, missing blind at the same window. Assume these are related, but tissue stuffed in a hole is not the nicest thing to look at.
That said, it served its purpose, the staff were friendly, and the food was great.
Really lovely place, cosy atmosphere in the pub in the evening and the food was excellent. Great service and the room was very nicely done, really comfy bed and great bathroom. Just wish I could have stayed longer!
