Fantastic stay

It was absolutely excellent. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Check out and check in was super easy. We got our own entrance and exit which was a nice addition. I would absolutely stay here again

Would happily stay again

The room was small, but comfortable and clean, the bathroom was perfectly adequate. The staff were inobtrusive and very accommodating and the location was peaceful. Parking wasn't a problem and I would love to stay here again.

The White Horse Ditchling

My stay was good although confusion on checking in as there was no record that I had paid a £20 deposite. However I sorted this with the member of staff. Upon entering my room it was still in a state of preperation and the bed was not made or any sheets and the bins were still open. No issue as the member of staff who showed me to my room did the honours and made the room up. This was very helpful.

First Time Visitor

Comfortable room, basic but with all the necessary inclusions needed. Friendly staff and locals. Nice outside area. Excellent food and good value for money. Small car park but a free public park within 5 mins walk. Nice local amenities as well.

Good for overnight stay

Room was clean but no wardrobe and bathroom room was along corridor also church clock chiming all night did not help next time will have a room at rear of house away from road noise and the clock. Other wise all good for convenience and a good bar.

Room wasn’t ready when I arrived but they quickly made it up. However they forgot the dirty tissue behind the bed

No hand towels. No place to put anything in room or bathroom. Outdated website re breakfast.
Nancy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely place to eat and drink and staff were friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was cramped with very little room to move around the bed. The wall adjoining the room next door was very thin. I got treated to someone hacking their lungs up for long periods of time. Could also hear them moving around. Would definitely return for food/drinks but not to stay.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately the room we had booked had not been cleaned since the previous guests had left, so we arrived to an unmade and dirty room. The member of staff who was helping us was quite helpful and did get the room cleaned for us but it was done very quickly. The room was small but neat, but it had a very bad smell of damp probably because there is no extractor fan in the small bathroom area of the room. This really needs to be rectified as it is not good for guests to be breathing in dampness. Very pretty village it is in and very nice inside. Would suggest more staff are required here as busy with drinks, food and rooms. It would really benefit this place if they offered breakfast to guests in the morning at a reasonable rate as I’m sure it would be appreciated especially on weekends! Parking for about two cars so street parking is needed here and on very narrow country roads. Nice place for a one night stay. Would have liked to try the food there but very busy and could not wait as had a prior engagement to get to.

Average

Booked this accommodation for a 3 night stay, combining a work trip with a weekend in the area. The photos of the accommodation on the website are a little misleading, and the room I booked was advertised as a large room. It was actually very small with no desk / seating space and very limited space to hang clothing. On first glance it was quite clean, however there was a stain on the carpet and some damp / mould in the bathroom. The facilities were very basic in the room. The booking was confirmed as including breakfast. The pub stopped serving breakfast about 2 years ago. The pub itself was nice, we had a meal there one evening and the food was good. The bar staff were friendly. There was no servicing of the room during the stay. I did actually have to buy toilet roll. The bed was comfortable, and the noise complained about in other reviews was not a concern for us. The accommodation was functional. I don’t think I would book again, but do want to single out for praise the friendly bar staff.

It suited my needs well, everything i needed for a one night stay. It was a little cold in the evening and i couldnt control the heating, but it came on in the morning. No toiletries on offer, however for the price i paid it was bery good value

Mislead, would not recommend staying here

The staff in the pub were nice, that was the redeeming factor. Otherwise I would not recommend staying there. The pictures are misleading. Room 5 (large) on the booking page is tiny. The towels and bedding were cheap and bad quality. The wardrobe was a glorified small cupboard. There was one tiny bedside table. The description on hotels.com says that breakfast is available which is not true. They did not inform us that the kitchen closed at 6:30pm on Sundays so we had to go elsewhere for our dinner. Overall, it was disappointing and we will not stay there again but we made the best of it.

Window broken. Four corners needed to get to the bathroom. Tiny room. Church bells through the night. Stifling room.

The bed was comfy. The bathroom wasn't very clean and the cupboard had fly poo in it. There was a hole in the box around the toilet. There was a container behind the toilet catching a leek

Great little place

Used as a quick one night stay for going to a comedy gig in Brighton. Well worth the money. Staff lovely and room clean. Bathroom was not within our room but we had an assigned bathroom further round the corridor.
Carly, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I am not one for leaving negative reviews, but this place really wasn’t a nice place to stay. The place smelled of urine, the lights flickered continuously, TV didn’t work… it really wasn’t worth £95! I felt even further ripped off when I purchased 2x small bottles of water for £7 down at the bar!! Very bad vibe/atmosphere to this place. Definitely urge people to avoid.

Fisser, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room did not look like the photos on their website (room 5 large). Could do with some curtains as only a blind. No breakfast available although says on their website 'breakfast available at extra cost'.Green emergency light should be in corridor not in the room. Size of the room was ok if you just want somewhere to sleep for the night.
