We had a lovely one-night stay. We wished we had stayed at least another night as the food looked amazing. We did have breakfast which was very good.

8/10 Very good

Well kept and clean room, good breakfast in the morning, and really helpful staff, Only thing to bare in mind is the pub is closed on a Monday & Tuesday, so if arriving late, can be hard to find the place as it’s on a dark road

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Cleanliness excellent and breakfast very good. We loved having a bath, very nice cotton sheets and towels, and good provision of teas, coffees, biscuits in the room. Two small downsides: commuter traffic noise in the morning, and some background noise of music from the pub downstairs till 11pm. Otherwise, everything excellent, and very good value compared with other places.

We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night in order to visit Brighton but we didn’t wish to stay in Brighton. Jaz our host was so friendly, he also cooks which has to be the best Jamaican food I’ve ever tasted. Our room was spotless with an enormous bathroom and a marvellously powerful shower. Breakfast was a full English cooked to order absolutely perfect. I have no problem in recommending this as a great place to stay
