Ideal for the night while visiting Glyndebourne

Not for visitors with limited mobility. Ancient inns were not built with modern staircases

Disappointing room and breakfast.

3.0

Quaint little pub. Tiny hotel room with small double bed not kingsize as advertised. Breakfast buffet very poor. No parking here.

Nothing much.
