The double room featured a private bathroom, which is a plus for couples looking for some privacy. The charming decor adds a quaint vibe that many might find appealing, showcasing character that you've got to appreciate.

Single glazing in the bedroom made for a chilly atmosphere in cold weather, with misty windows and noticeable drafts sneaking under the door. Common areas felt frigid despite a stove burning nearby, and if you’re not fond of steep stairs, you might find the climb a bit challenging. The price felt steep for the small size of the room, especially as a solo traveler, and the fading decor leaned more toward shabby than chic. If you're sensitive to noise, sitting outside might not be ideal since conversations drift in easily, and good luck with the tricky door lock.

Cozy room with a lovely view.

My stay was incredibly disappointing. The room I paid £195 for was ridiculously small for a solo traveler and felt more like a closet than a double room. To make matters worse, the decor was faded and shabby, not at all what I expected for that price. The noise from outside was unbearable, and I couldn't even open the windows for fresh air! it was a frustrating experience and absolutely not worth the cost.

Strongly recommend for a fleeting pause

Pleasant room, comfortable bed with a good supply of tea and coffee. excellent breakfast and staff who provide delicious pub food in a beautiful area with lovely walks on your doorstep.

Everything was spot-on.

Couples retreat worth it

A fantastic stay all round we had a Sunday lunch that was very nice the flavors really hit the spot and breakfast the next day just kept the good vibes going we even bumped into some of the management team in a nearby restaurant and let them know their place has improved a lot under the new ownership

Charming décor that makes you feel at home.

The window couldn't open, making the room stuffy.

Fantastic stay all round. loved the Sunday lunch and noted the management's improvements.

Nothing!

My kids wished there were more kid-friendly activities on-site.

The room was cozy, and I loved enjoying tea on the terrace while soaking in that beautiful sunset. Relaxing by the fireplace and taking advantage of the hot tub made for some serious chill time. the decor felt a bit worn down, which was a small letdown but didn't ruin my stay. 🌅

The décor is charming and quaint, evoking a comforting nostalgia that makes you feel right at home. The spacious rooms are thoughtfully arranged, making it easy for seniors to navigate without any obstacles.

A handrail for the stairs would be helpful.

Charming stay with local flavor

I had a delightful experience during my stay, enjoying a beautiful room with a stunning view of the village green. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and breakfast was a real treat, with locally sourced ingredients that showcased the area. a handrail for the stairs would certainly enhance accessibility.

I enjoyed a two-night stay in a beautifully decorated room with a view of the green. The hearty breakfast featured fresh ingredients, and the quaint atmosphere perfectly complemented my walking adventures in the area. I did find the stairs a bit steep, but it didn't affect my experience.

a perfect base for exploring nearby parks and landmarks

During my stay, I appreciated the pleasant staff and the great view overlooking the green, making it a lovely spot to unwind after a day of discovery, especially since there are so many wonderful parks like Friston Forest and beautiful landmarks such as Beachy Head just a short distance away.

The breakfast was a culinary delight, featuring hearty dishes that even catered for gluten-free pals! Plus, the charming area is perfect for long walks. I can’t rave enough about it. Our bedroom was cozy with a lovely view across the green, making for such a peaceful stay.

I found my small double room a bit steep at £195. The room could've used a makeover, and the occasional chatter from outside didn’t add to the peace. A little more attention to detail would go a long way.

The room was really nice, beautifully decorated and spotless. The view overlooking the green was a nice touch. They had warm drinks, water, biscuits, and chocolates, all replenished during our stay. Just felt cozy and inviting throughout. No complaints here at all!

our stay was fantastic! we enjoyed a lovely breakfast complete with fresh pastries and locally sourced ingredients. the charm of the old pub atmosphere genuinely enhanced our walking tour experience around eastbourne and the south downs.

couldn't open a window in our room.
