What a fabulous stay at a quintessential English pub!
Pros:

Love the location, love the old English charm, the quintessential English pub! The staff were amazing, especially Philomena who made our stay just that bit more special. She was wonderful. I can’t wait to go back but it’s a long way from Australia.

Cons:

Nothing!!!

A nice comfy stay in a beautiful quaint pub in a lovely spot with a nice garden, very overpriced.
Pros:

Beautiful location with great view of the downs. Very quaint & cosy pub with very friendly staff.
Really comfy bed.
Loved the benches out the front with comfy cushions, a lovely spot to sit in the sunshine.

Cons:

We booked the room to tie in with our tour of ridge view vineyard.
We really enjoyed our stay but felt the price we paid (£155.00) was way too much. We went for the ‘cheapest’ room option. This didn’t even include breakfast !
Our room (no 2) was really noisy but this didn’t bother us as to be expected staying in a pub.
