A warm welcome all round

Lovely inn, beautifully decorated, two friendly dogs, friendly staff, friendly locals (who didn't mind that we won the pub quiz), great breakfasts, well cooked dinners... My only quibble was that the mattress was too soft for my poor bad back (but would suit plenty of others).

Overnight

We used the pub as we were visiting family the next day & live in Devon. The room was nice, well fitted out & comfortable. The atmosphere was almost like staying at someone's house, very relaxed & cosy. The food was really good, I recommend the blue cheese burger! Breakfast was excellent although I'd have like an option of cereal & orange juice in addition to the menu options. Staff were excellent & very helpful, although top marks go to Guiness, the pup cockapoo, who is an absolute star!!! We'll definitely return when we next come up to Sussex.
