We have had Sunday lunch a few times after walking across the south downs from Lewes and the food excellent and service always amazingly friendly. We have just stayed in one of their four rooms and used it as a wonderful base to walk on the south downs and enjoy their food in the evening. A great place for a short break.

We absolutely loved our stay last year. The room was big and really warm. We loved our homemade truffles and the cordial. The breakfast in the morning was a delight and cooked to perfection. The staff clearly love their jobs everyone smiling at each other super helpful. No hesitation with coming back!

Beautifully unassuming from the outside. Once you enter the restaurant and bar you immediately feel the relaxed atmosphere. The dining area is lovely. Our room was absolutely gorgeous. Everything you needed was provided. The ensuite was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
