A perfect stay in this traditional pub with rooms. We were visiting a gallery in Petworth and it was the perfect spot - close by but easily accessible.  …

A thoroughly lovely stay. We were visiting a gallery in Petworth and staying locally overnight. We were made very welcome and checked into our twin room. The room was very comfortable, nice to have a little dressing table with tea coffee biscuits - and jelly beans! Lovely clean bathroom with a great shower. And for a room above a pub on a Saturday night it was very peaceful. We also had an evening meal in the pub which was delicious and breakfast on Sunday was spot on too. Many thanks. We will stay again if we are in the area.

This is a nice, friendly pub with spacious en-suite rooms. The staff were helpful and welcoming and the breakfast was good. The reason I marked the room lower was that the mattress had definitely seen better days... I sunk right into it. I also couldn't get the TV remote to work but, to be fair, I didn't mention this to the owners - I'm sure they'd have fixed it if I had. Overall a nice stay.

Great stay here for a family wedding, room was great value, staff were so accommodating with nothing too much trouble and good food. Had everything we needed for a short visit. Only complaint would be breakfast ended at 9.15, but let’s be honest that’s a first world problem!
