We realy enjoyed our stay. The proprietor, Jazz, couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, arranging check-in time at our convenience. It is a little noisy on a busy road, but has good double glazing, was quiet between 11pm and 6 am, and with ear-plugs we slept very well and uninterrupted. Highly reccommended.

A real country pub with very comfortable en-suite rooms. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. Jazz and Drixi are very friendly and helpful landlord and landlady.15 - 20 minutes easy drive to Glyndebourne.

Caribbean food was excellent, as was the full English breakfast. Room was large enough and comfortable. Landlord and staff were friendly and helpful. Restricted opening hours on Sundays - no evening dining - was a limitation for us.
