What a lovely place to stay. I needed somewhere easy, quiet and calm and this fit the bill perfectly - and best poached eggs ever! Debbie is a lovely host. The room and shower were spotless and the bed sooo comfy.

We had a wonderful night’s stop at Lantern Cottage. The room was spacious, warm, welcoming and contained everything you could possibly need to be totally comfortable. The shower had good strong pressure, the towels large and thick, and the huge bed was really comfortable. So much so that we overslept and only just made it down in time for our breakfast, which was delicious. Strong coffee, great choice of cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurt, and a well cooked hot breakfast. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into making this a B&B that is a big cut above the run-of-the-mill. Thanks for a providing a wonderful overnight stop, Debbie!

We stayed two nights as we were visiting relatives and having a short break before the onset of winter. We followed the directions exactly and located the cottage easily. …

This overnight stay was a birthday present, combined with a vineyard tour. Despite being tucked away behind other houses the instructions to find it were excellent. …

What a wonderful place to stay! I had to pick up a custom made guitar in Brighton & decided to visit the area with my daughter. We had two bedrooms with a connecting bathroom that were just delightful. Cosy and nice in the true sense of the word, quiet & with a view of the garden. Debbie really cooks a delicious breakfast & recommended some nice spots (Ditchling Beacon). Beautiful place to get to know Sussex.

Very nice small B and B. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed. Nice room. Wonderful jacuzzi bath. Great choices at breakfast. Helpful and professional owner. Make sure you read directions to get there. They are very accurate. Nice setting in a village with good pubs. Handy for Brighton and a lot cheaper. Would stay again.
