Pros:

A lovely room with well thought-out décor and a DAB radio - essential for Heart Dance!! The hostess was so polite and welcoming including at breakfast time. The breakfast was very nice and, like the rooms, the décor in the eating area was excellent.

Cons:

There's only a vanity sink in the bathroom not a full size one which was a problem as I like to wet-shave and the mixer tap got in the way of me getting my face close to the bowl.

Was not dissapointed with The Driftwood
Pros:

We booked the Driftwood for a wedding that we were attending. Superb property, rooms were fantastic. Decor was on point! Very comfortable stay. Everything was pristine. When booking the property, I’d messaged in advance to see if we could check in early. They said they could get one room ready early( we had three rooms) On arrival which was three hours before check in, they had got all three rooms ready for us. Which was fantastic. Superb hosts, we were really looked after. Breakfast was a solid 10

Cons:

Only negative if I really had to find something, was parking was a slight issue. We were lucky enough to get parked right outside, but spots filled up pretty quickly. Plus the hotel gave us a free parking permit for our stay. Which was a bonus.

Excellent, we caught the train to Brighton and Rye and the local amenities are close by, walkable,
Pros:

The room was excellent, very comfortable and well appointed, although a chair would have been nice to sit, rather than just the bed
There was a fantastic selection of possible breakfasts and excellently cooked
The B&B was really central for restaurants, local amenities, buses and station - we did not have to move the car once parked
The landlord provided parking permits for the local roads which was a real benefit

Cons:

Maybe a little more room in our room so chairs could have been included
