10/10 Excellent

A nice Jamaican run country pub
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great family run business. Love the Jamaican vibe, unfortunately they didn’t do food on a Monday or Tuesday so didn’t get chance to sample. Bed was extremely comfortable too and good hot water pressure in the bathroom.

Food was absolutely delicious. Really Nice design of room down to the non obtrusive tv. A picturesque detour from the south down ways trail.

Great Jamaican food and very friendly owners! Beautiful surroundings in the South Downs!
Cally, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We realy enjoyed our stay. The proprietor, Jazz, couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, arranging check-in time at our convenience. It is a little noisy on a busy road, but has good double glazing, was quiet between 11pm and 6 am, and with ear-plugs we slept very well and uninterrupted. Highly reccommended.

Overnight in East Sussex (Counties Challenge)

Really enjoyed our stay. Had a local pub feel with friendly staff. The Caribbean style food we had was very good. We really enjoyed our meal
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Caribbean food was excellent, as was the full English breakfast. Room was large enough and comfortable. Landlord and staff were friendly and helpful. Restricted opening hours on Sundays - no evening dining - was a limitation for us.
Stuart, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great downland b&b with a lovely room and tasty breakfast. Thank you.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We needed an overnight stop near Lewes, this being a mile or so north. Though on a main road (A275) it is a quiet, unpretentious and old country pub between a couple of other houses (one a former smithy) with convenient parking and an outside sitting/eating area behind, as well as 'bistro' style eating in the large downstairs bar, with a good selection of beers etc. The room and bathroom were simple and spotless,with fine quality towels and bed linen. The eating menu is also simple with a Jamaican twist (the cook being Jamaican) but including excellent traditional fish and chips and the English breakfast included in the B&B cost also excellent. It overlooks green open country and a church on the other side of the road with a chalky track down through the woods towards Hamsey for a summer evening post-supper walk (at least in dry weather). It is too far out of Lewes to walk, though on a bus route in, but about 10 mins by car to parking in the town. A lucky find to which we would happily return.

Really love this pub & hotel- such a lovely atmosphere and heartfelt warm welcome by the hosts-graceful and easy going. The rooms are really comfy, good size, good beds and facilities. 5min taxi or car from Lewes.make sure you have dinner or lunch-wonderful Jamaican food - delicious! I have stayed a few times over the years and always look forward to coming back. Super walk up on the Downs right behind the pub.
