Was welcomed warmly for a one night stopover. Our room was above the pub but well insulated from traffic and restaurant noise. Very cosy. Bed was super comfortable. Bathroom was roomy and shower pressure great. Added bonus of checking in, then sitting in the beer garden watching the sunset and hot air balloon in the distance across the fields. Very serene setting. Tasty and lovingly cooked dinner and breakfast served in the restaurant. Would highly recommend.

One of the best hotel spas we've been to in England! The place is really well maintained, has all the charms of yesteryears but the conveniences of today. I especially enjoyed the pool, wish I could've swam more! The food was also really lovely, haven't seen a delicious breakfast spread like that in ages.

Lewes is very good as a place to stay if you are interested in history or just like browsing local shops. It also has excellent railway connections so you can get to Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne and up into Sussex by public transport. It is hilly and a good base if you want to explore the South Downs by walking. A good range of restaurants, pubs and cafes too.

Access to the beach is not too difficult for someone whose joints creak a bit. A long slope with hand rail is helpful. Our sunny but bracing walk along the prom was enlivened by cheerful visitors and dogs . The outdoor cafe afforded shelter from the wind and good coffee. After 2 hours we walked slowly into the village and were charmed by the buildings and quirky shops,the Grange library and art gallery,duck pond and church with Burne Jones windows. We found very clean toilets inside the church too. Thanks for this.We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rottingdean.

The spa was very well apportioned and it was very quiet and secluded. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely pleasant. One thing they must do in the restaurant is ensure that the wine ordered has arrived and ready to drink before the food is served. It is not good form to serve the food without the wine bottle even being at the table, let alone not opened.

We arrived late evening but they were very accomodating and friendly. Our room was comfortable, clean and had amazing shower. Despite being attached to a pub and a party going on - it was relatively quite. Breakfast was not to disapoint either - very good. A lovely place to stay. We will be coming back!

Pulborough is a really quiet picturesque area.

Pulborough is a really quiet picturesque area. There are lots of opportunities for nature walks and, if you’re living in the city like I am, it’s great to get out and be around quiet for a time. The area also has several beautiful venues for weddings, which is why I went and discovered the area. It’s great if you’re looking for a cute charming village getaway. It would definitely be easier to travel around by car, but we walked everywhere and were able to manage and enjoy the views.

We didn't see much of the place as we were staying overnight before catching a ferry. The town centre was a little unsavoury with some really rough types drinking cider on street benches. We ended up eating in McDonalds as it was the place that was most inviting and bought a cake in Lidl for pudding. We saw the portside when we were leaving on the ferry which looked pretty. I might be being a bit harsh for a place I spent 12 hours in, I would love to see the good side of any place.
