The room did not look like the photos on their website (room 5 large). Could do with some curtains as only a blind. No breakfast available although says on their website 'breakfast available at extra cost'.Green emergency light should be in corridor not in the room. Size of the room was ok if you just want somewhere to sleep for the night.

Ideally situated for an overnight stay if walking the South Downs Way. Excellent Sunday lunch - we could understand why it was popular! The Landlord was very helpful in providing the best route to re join the South Downs Way the following morning. Unfortunately the nearby cafes were not open for breakfast on Monday - The Green Welly doesn't open and The Nutmeg doesn't open on Bank holidays! We resorted to buying two baguettes from The White Lion and having them for breakfast and lunch!

Need to try harder

Not good, room not ready 3hrs after check in time. Freezing cold only put the heating on when I got there, room and bathroom a bit grubby. Food choice very pub type fried. Won't be going back.

Room 3 advertised with a private bathroom and can clearly see bathroom attached to the room in photo is not what we received room 3 had a shared bathroom down corridor. Also large green emergency light in room so unable to sleep.

Unfortunately the room we had booked had not been cleaned since the previous guests had left, so we arrived to an unmade and dirty room. The member of staff who was helping us was quite helpful and did get the room cleaned for us but it was done very quickly. The room was small but neat, but it had a very bad smell of damp probably because there is no extractor fan in the small bathroom area of the room. This really needs to be rectified as it is not good for guests to be breathing in dampness. Very pretty village it is in and very nice inside. Would suggest more staff are required here as busy with drinks, food and rooms. It would really benefit this place if they offered breakfast to guests in the morning at a reasonable rate as I’m sure it would be appreciated especially on weekends! Parking for about two cars so street parking is needed here and on very narrow country roads. Nice place for a one night stay. Would have liked to try the food there but very busy and could not wait as had a prior engagement to get to.

Ask for the wifi code before the team leave!!

Parked directly outside. Room fine. Accommodation could not find booking but did then locate it. Team left immediately after checking in.There was no wifi login provided, no mobile signal and no telephone signal at the location. Drove 2 miles up the road to get signal, called and emailed for the wifi code - no answer. Was left as sole occupant on the premises with no way to contact anyone without driving offsite.

Booked this accommodation for a 3 night stay, combining a work trip with a weekend in the area. The photos of the accommodation on the website are a little misleading, and the room I booked was advertised as a large room. It was actually very small with no desk / seating space and very limited space to hang clothing. On first glance it was quite clean, however there was a stain on the carpet and some damp / mould in the bathroom. The facilities were very basic in the room. The booking was confirmed as including breakfast. The pub stopped serving breakfast about 2 years ago. The pub itself was nice, we had a meal there one evening and the food was good. The bar staff were friendly. There was no servicing of the room during the stay. I did actually have to buy toilet roll. The bed was comfortable, and the noise complained about in other reviews was not a concern for us. The accommodation was functional. I don’t think I would book again, but do want to single out for praise the friendly bar staff.

Only two very flimsy bath towels and no hand towels. Green emergency exit light on in the room all night made the room too bright for sleeping. Aldo only a blind at the window and no curtains which added to the brightness.
