I was visiting friends in the village and the Wheatsheaf was within very convenient proximity of them. The hotel offers value accommodation and as such is pretty basic, frill-free and tired in places. …

We received last minute tickets to visit Hickstead so needed somewhere nearby to stay for 2 nights. This was the best option at a sensible price so booked it. …

Was not a great visit. We ordered the special butter milk chicken burger for one of them to come out raw. They duly got it sorted but I would never ever expect chicken to be raw. It was lucky my friend cut his burger in half before eating.

Great friendly pub with B&B. Decent range of drinks with lovely bar staff. Room was a little small and the curtains a little thin, but the hot shower and tasty full English in the morning made up for it. Cheers đź‘Ť

Comfortable room, although challenging under the sloping roof. We found the staff to be helpful and the bar well stocked. Breakfast was excellent and from a varied menu. The kippers were a little hard, perhaps they were grilled and not poached.

Lovely stay at the Wheatsheaf Inn so we could go to both days of the Carry on Crafting festival. We enjoyed a tasty evening meal and a huge cooked breakfast the following evening. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful - they let us have some decaffeinated tea bags and a small jug of milk for our room. Easy to park and good value for money.
