    The bathroom sink was very small for washing my face in, but this is dictated by the size of the bathroom. Storage is a shelf behind the toilet, so it might be useful to take a toiletries bag that you hang up on the door hook.

    Very quiet room. The ability to adjust the heating to suit was very useful. Shower and tap water heated up very quickly - no waiting! Lots of tea, coffee and hot chocolate supplies. Two comfy pillows each. Clean and well thought out with lots of drawer space. Only 2 mins walk from the Tiger Inn for breakfast. Their Sussex cooked breakfast was amazing, with a large plate full of 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash brown, tomato, baked beans, mushrooms, black pudding and toast. The scrambled eggs with smoked salmon was also a treat. Breakfast was not included in the room price.

    Shame that the attached pub was closed for renovation. Understandable but would have liked to have been informed before our stay as we had planned to have dinner there.

    Very cosy place. Good selection of teas on offer. Beautiful surroundings. Easy parking and quiet village.

    A bit hard to find but go to the pub and ask them if you are lost as we were in the dark.

    Comfortable room with ensuite, probably even better when it isnt raining and you can use the outdoor table and chairs. Easy walk to the pub and village for meals etc. Laundry facilities and other onsite facilities provided.

    Mattress was a little hard - but I mean that’s picking at something that doesn’t need picking at. It was comfy enough for a lovely sleep

    Beautiful little cottage - absolute gem of a place and we’ll be coming back in a heartbeat. I wouldn’t recommend it for longer than 2 nights, it’s just a perfect escape for 1-2 days, peaceful and quiet with loads of walking nearby. Everything we needed to switch off from the work and the city; honestly it was just perfect.

    Whilst the beautiful flint garden wall provides privacy, it would have been nice to see the garden from our room, although I sat on the bench through the arch and enjoyed an early morning coffee looking at the beautiful English country garden and listening to the birds.

    Great location with an old English pub, a cafe, hikers rest ( which does a superb nicoise salad) and delicatessen and Thai restaurant around the square. Lovely warm welcoming staff. Perfect for walking to Belle Tout lighthouse, Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters.

    Great Location and Comfortable Stay.

    What I did not like: A separate email address is required by the property to get the check-in details and the code to get into your room. I never received it, which made our check-in a tad confusing and is apparently a common issue. This was solved by walking to the Tiger-Inn pub and checking in manually. Overall, I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at The Garden Room. While there was one issue with the check-in process, the rest of the experience was excellent. I would recommend this room to others.

    What I liked: The Garden Room was well located, with only a short walk to the Seven Sisters cliffs. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was quiet. There was a well-stocked selection of high-quality teas, coffees, hot chocolates, and biscuits that were replenished daily. The staff provided a welcome guide to the local area, complete with recommendations and maps. A separate laundry room equipped with dryers, washers, irons, and ironing boards, as well as the detergent and stain removers required to use them, was a welcome surprise and something rarely seen. The breakfast was delicious and up there with some of the best I've had while staying in hotels, inns, and B&Bs. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was everything we hoped for. The Wi-Fi speed and range were good, with 39.90 Mbps down and 17 Mbps up.

    Could not get in with code supplied - but soon rectified after I managed to contact someone (although that was tricky without reception or wifi). Bath would have been a bonus.

    Lovely garden, torch provided, plenty of drinks, good shower.

    The room was a bit hot at night in spite of a fan but it was just before the heatwave so presume it is fine in normal summer weather.

    I have previously stayed in the rooms at the Tiger Inn so wanted to check out the Garden Room. Great to have a table and chairs outside as the weather was fantastic and I could eat my takeaway breakfast from the nearby cafes. The walled garden is also a lovely place to sit and relax. The fridge in the room was useful for cold drinks. Bed and linen is the same excellent quality as in the rooms in the Inn. The bathroom has a walk in shower which I prefer to a bath. Although closer to the main road than the pub rooms I did not find the traffic noise a problem. Another lovely short stay in East Dean enjoying the scenic walks.

    no chance to communicate with the property during the weekend, so it wouldn’t be possible to reach them for 48h before our arrival to get some information. the property is located in a very dark area and there’s no way to reach the room in the evening/night. it would be easier with a simple highlighted sign.

    nice place, near to the point of interest. the property and the room are very nice
