Enjoyable stay for a couple of nights. Great food, both dinner and breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. There isn't a single right angle or level floor in the inn but that just adds to its charm. Hot water takes an age to come through in the bathroom but there is sign to that effect. Would stay again.

We stayed in one of the cottage rooms at the back of the property and found it clean, modern, airy and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were pleasant. A good stop while walking the South Downs Way.
