"Thoroughly enjoyable few days,"

8.0

All the breakfast choices were excellent and served in a lovely garden room location

The outdoor security light shone into our bedroom when it was occasionally triggered, but a minor point.

Fabulously comfortable stay :) The room was spacious, comfortable and clean and the staff were very accommodating. I had really nice breakfast and then came back for the Sunday roast, both lovely :)

"A great way to end a magical evening of Handel at Glyndebourne."

9.0

Lovely rural pub and a good centre for walking on the Downs. Large room with countryside views, vast, very comfortable bed and well-appointed bathroom. Adorable, friendly 'pub dog', an elegant black labrador. Delicious breakfast and lunch.

"Nice friendly pub which makes a good base for visiting Glyndebourne"

8.0

Good location for Glyndebourne, good picnic, good to have the pub open on returning from the opera for a nightcap, nice breakfast with choices available

slightly disappointed to be charged £20 for a 1 p.m. check in, not because we didn't have an early check in (as this is fairly essential for a Glyndebourne visit) but because this was our 3rd stay & I don't think we were charged in previous years. Maybe we were just fortunate not to be charged previously
