Everything an English inn should be

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 !

Just off the South Downs Way

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.

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!!

Lovely

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.
