Booked the budget single room but it was spotlessly clean and everything worked well from the TV to the bath (no shower just a hand held shower for hair). Friendly team and the Sunday roast dinner plus breakfast were nicely cooked. Decent car park and beer too. Thank you

We stayed here for a wedding in Cuckfields and this hotel was in a very good location for this. The hotel itself is very nice, being a lovely old building. The room was a bit small for two people and the bathroom did feel a bit run down/shabby. Also - while I appreciate it was a bit of an unprecedented situation, we were there in one of the heatwaves this summer and really struggled with the heat. Given the age of the building, I would not expect AC, but the fans provided were tiny so provided barely any relief. To make matters worse, there were no plugs by the bed so it wasn't even possible to plug the fan in by the bed, which made it almost unbearable to sleep in. We ate here on one of the nights and the food was lovely, with helpful staff as well! We were still satisfied by our stay here but think it was a bit expensive considering the above.
