Really good value for money, nice room, excellent breakfast. My vegetarian breakfast was pipping hot and delicious, so really enjoyed it. Very pleased to see decaffeinated tea offered in the room. The only downside was noisy doors from neighbouring rooms in the Cottage, but this settled down by 10pm.

Absolutely no complaints at all! A real pleasure to spend the night here. Excellent room, quiet and a comfy bed. Food astonishingly good, as was the service - and price. A must if you are coming to this area. Thank you.

It's a cute place&better than regular pub accomo
Really attractive carpark with motion sensor lights, really nice upkeep on outside of pub-village is gorgeous! Bedrooms up flight of stairs-not good for mobility issues. Beams above head,& my queen bed was 2 single pushed together-didn't love that, sheets were quality but quite hard mattresses. Sky tv free in room that was excellent. Thought dinner was overpriced (16 for pasta, 29 for steak,it's pub not michelin) I went nextdoor (curry house-avoid!) They took a creditcard on checkin but I paid upfront on hotels.com&I have no idea why they did that? You can tell it is a small personal family run place-I loved that. It was reasonably clean,I did find some hairs in bathroom, so they need to address with the cleaning team. What I LOVED: Sky tv&movies, they will give you milk in a jug instead of the annoying uht milk for your tea&coffee in room, WHICH IS GENIUS! they provide decaf teabags-genius,lovely cookies in room,there is desk in room, they provide decent hairdryer & ironing board,carpet was hoovered right up to the wall -I could see the lines. What I didn't love, I didn't get a really warm welcome,I would have liked to know the menu was on the website, only found that out at brekkie.My brekkie was overcooked(but was good quality) No1 said bye to me. The windows thin (road noise,but it's a really old place&prob listed laws apply BUT curtains let lots blue light from pub sign,I travel with earplugs&eyemask so I slept well despite that. I would stay again. Excellent location

Comfy, Cosy, Cost Affective
The hotel was warm & cosy in January. The staff were extremely friendly & welcoming. The breakfast was a good portion size & very tasty. The breakfast was included with the stay & should’be cost around £12 meaning my room for the night was around £51. A bargain for this location. The room was warm & cosy. The bed was comfy & the shower facilities were clean & water was a good temperature. There is free shampoo & body wash in the room that I used. Free Sky TV in your room with access to Sky Movies. A kettle with free coffee & tea as well as some complimentary biscuits. The only downside was the walls are quite thin & you could hear guests departing in the morning & a little bit of traffic but that didn’t really bother me all that much.

Very Very Pleasant
Staff were so welcoming when we arrived and we were quickly shown to our rooms which were in immaculate condition. Huge shower and bathroom in the garden room we had and a sky tv was a lovely touch for a sports mad man! Breakfast was of a high quality and served to order. We will definitely be back.

Great Overnight Stay
I stayed here for an overnight business trip. The room was great, very clean and very modern, particularly the shower room, which was very nice. Sky tv in the rooms is also a bonus. The rooms are separate to the pub itself so were quiet. Breakfast was excellent with a choice from the normal breakfast menu, plus toast, cereals, etc. I will stay again when in that area

In the bathroom the vanity mirror above the sink was fixed far too high for a lady of 5’ 2” to see more than the top of her forehead !!!! Very annoying! The food was good, particularly the breakfasts. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay at The Castle Inn, Bramber.

Good location and very friendly staff but overall experience let down by poor quality of the bedroom. Dated furnishings and hard beds not of quality shown in photos on booking sites particulraly given that the room was described as superior.

Classy stay at the Castle
Location, accommodation, food, atmosphere were all excellent. Only issue was not opening window in room (disabled) and as such, it was very warm. The fan helped, but air-con or an external flow of air woudl have helped through the night.

Nice hotel at a reasonable price in a lovely village overlooked by the remains of a castle. Friendly staff, decent pub grub for dinner at slightly over-inflated prices and an OK breakfast (improve the bacon please). Rooms are reasonable for the price.

Had a very pleasant stay for 1 night while in the area on business. Staff were excellent and especially Debbie who looked after me well at 6.15am when officially breakfast was not available until 7am, thank you Debbie!! Only 'negative' comment - the ensuite could do with some modernising, otherwise, a lovely place to stay and great value too! :-)
