Really love this pub & hotel- such a lovely atmosphere and heartfelt warm welcome by the hosts-graceful and easy going. The rooms are really comfy, good size, good beds and facilities. 5min taxi or car from Lewes.make sure you have dinner or lunch-wonderful Jamaican food - delicious! I have stayed a few times over the years and always look forward to coming back. Super walk up on the Downs right behind the pub.

Very nice, friendly - some might say quirky - hosts who made us feel very welcome and were great company. They helped us deal with a booking issue with no fuss. The pub itself is a little gem with a great selection of real ales, whiskies, and of course, rum. Appetising food, if you like authentic Caribbean fare. We didn’t find space for the apple crumble and rum custard this time, but we’ll be back. Room was basic but clean and quiet. We slept very well. The area is a great base for walks in the National Park, or into Lewes. We had a lovely time, thanks to Trixie and Jazz.

Loved the towels and bedding and chill pub atmosphere and delish Jamaican dishes. Thought it would be a bit more walkable to Lewes and could be a bit noisy with traffic at night! I would advise earplugs. Great spot if you’re comfortable with a chill and casual vibe and are not expecting hotel like treatment

Amazing food and alcohol selection. Some of the best Jamaican food I have had in ages! There are more tame options but well worth trying the homemade food as it's clear they put the effort in
