    Comfortable old pub in quaint little village

    • Deluxe Double Room with Shower
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was very small (for the price) and there were only 2 surfaces to put our things. Not surprisingly for an old pub there were minimal electric sockets. There was only 1 spare socket at one side of the bed which was challenging to charge up 2 phones, tablet and computer.

    Our room was quiet and very comfortable. Everything worked with a very comfortable bed, a great shower and breakfast was delivered to the room in a hamper. The breakfast was a continental one made up of local fresh ingredients. The restaurant served very nice well prepared food. It was amazingly quiet considering the A24 was close by which of course made very easy access to the main road and was 10 minutes walk from Knepp rewilding project

    Check-in is after 3:00 p.m. at the very time the pub beneath closes for a couple of hours so you can't get a drink on arrival! Would have liked a cooked breakfast option rather than an additional fee for a continental basket delivered to the room. No staff as such it's self check in though that wasn't in any way a problem for us.

    Excellent location for our dawn safari at Knepp. Very comfortable bed and a clean and inviting little room. Good choice of coffee and tea and a nice view of the village green opposite.

    • Stayed 1 night

    Shower a bit temperamental and the room lacked a wardrobe as it was a bit cramped. My suggestion would be ditch the dresser in the entrance and have a shallow wardrobe there instead to hang clothes. I was alone but had that been a couple you would have really struggled with hanging space and space for luggage etc.

    Room overlooked the village green and was well appointed with coffee machine, kettle and even some homemade biscuits. I rarely sleep well in hotels as my own bed and linens etc don't normally compare. However this hotel has spent money on decent beds and mattresses and it was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and their homemade breakfast bar is lovely. I brought my 2 collie dogs with me who were very welcome and there was even dog treats in the room.

    The breakfast. The coffee machine didn’t work for us but the staff said they tested it and it was fine.

    The location was fine. The breakfast was very disappointing. It was delivered in a hamper but there wasn’t really anywhere to eat it except on the bed. I don’t eat meat or dairy and my breakfast consisted of a glass of juice, a small bowl of cereal, half a dozen pineapple chunks, a bit of (day old) bread and a little pot of honey. I left a note saying that we were disappointed and I got an email back saying that the pub believed it represented good value.

    It was quite cold in the morning and there weren't any mini-heaters in the room, but I tend to get chilly very easily!

    I stayed here the night before my wedding - the bed was very comfortable and the pub downstairs was fantastic. Loved the little touches in the room as well. Check-in was seamless and the room was very quiet.

    The bathroom was across the hall which wasn't stated in room description. Also we all struggled to fit under the shower as it was very low ceiling in the bathroom.

    The room was stunning, it worked really well as it was a group of 3 of us. Real attention to detail in the room itself. Food was lovely and the staff were very attentive and friendly.

    Small room for four people although grateful that it was available and dog accepted. Packed continental breakfast in the room. Personally, I would have preferred to eat it in the pub restaurant. Didn’t know beforehand which room we were having so didn’t know that it had a separate bathroom. Shower is built for someone under 5’6”

    Decor was lovely. Comfortable bed. Great location - very close to Knepp estate which has lovely walks of various distance. Food in the restaurant was also very good and catered for gluten free diet.

    Breakfast was delivered to your room in a hamper, but there was no facilities to eat it at other than sat on your bed, which can be quite tricky when you have bowls of cereal. The breakfast was charged at a rate of £10 per person & you were entitled to a small bowl of cereal plus & portion of bread with a slice of ham & cheese or jam. Very overpriced. The owners entered the room to restock the coffee pods but you don't get your bed made up, very disappointing considering the price you are paying.

    The room was beautifully decorated.
