The present owner took over about 12 years ago and has carried out improvements to the bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. In total there are 9 rooms several with additional beds suitable for family occupancy.|I booked 8 rooms for a golfing trip to nearby West Sussex GC and this proved very successful. Our host opened the small bar on arrival early evening before we took taxis to a nearby pub for supper. Our host was on hand as we returned to ensure that plenty of nightcaps could be dispensed.|The hotel no longer offers lunch or dinner but their breakfast was magnificent and would have graced many a 4-star hotel in London. From the cold buffet, I selected mixed fresh berries with a pot of home-made yoghurt and local honey. Simply delicious. Both coffee and tea were produced hot for each guest.|Then I had the FEB consisting of sausage, beans, mushroom, excellent bacon, tomato and two perfectly fried eggs on a hot plate served direct from the kitchen. As the waitress commented, it was the first time that the chef (owner) had been persuaded to cook fried bread in her 7 years of service. This is my special treat requested only when not travelling with my eagle-eyed wife!!|Others enjoyed magnificent mushroom or smoked salmon eggs benedict. Two toasted half buns for the mushroom or salmon, each topped with a perfectly poached egg and then coated with a superb Hollandaise sauce.|This establishment met with unanimous approval from my golfing party and we plan to return in 2025.

Read moreI stayed for one night with my partner and our teenager. There was plenty of parking (nice and flat with space to turn etc). The hotel was very clean through out and had a cozy, warm atmosphere. We received a very friendly welcome and were swiftly shown to our room and where to find hotel details (wi-fi codes and breakfast menu). The hotel is more "ye olde" than modern, which suited us just fine, lots of nooks and crannies, antique furniture and the most gorgeous/comfortable roll top bath. The room was a little on the warm side as it's been warmer weather recently but there was a fan provided and opening windows in the small part of the room (with the single bed). The smaller bed was partitioned from the larger bed by a wall which was just right for our teenager. The beds were very comfortable and we all got a great night's sleep. There were lots of tea and coffee options and a few choccy bars which was a nice touch. Breakfast was very tasty and very good quality, served in a large airy conservatory overlooking a very pretty garden. I would be pleased to...
