Ich konnte sehr früh in der Unterkunft einchecken und mein Auto auf dem großzügigen Parkplatz neben dem Haus abstellen. Darum hatte ich die Unterkunft auch gebucht. Fast direkt vor dem Hotel fährt der Bus nach Brighton. Ein 24h-Ticket kostet 5,50£. Ich wurde sehr freundlich begrüßt. Dann wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass es am nächsten Morgen keine warme Küche gäbe. Ich bekam daraufhin gleich ein Lunchpaket für den nächsten morgen. Jetzt zu den weniger schönen Dingen. Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer gebucht. Diese war auf der Rückseite des Gebäudes und besaß einen eigenen Eingang ( Zimmernummer 14). Das Zimmer war sehr schlicht und zweckmäßig. Daher war erstmal alles ok und ich hab mich gleich mit dem Bus nach Brighton aufgemacht. Nach einem langen Tag in Brighton hab ich mich dann auf mein Bett gefreut. Ich musste dann feststellen, dass die Heizung nicht funktionierte und es sehr kalt wurde. Ich hatte auch das Gefühl, dass die Fenster nicht richtig dicht waren. Dann ist das Haus wahnsinnig hellhörig. Man hört die Straße sehr laut. Außerdem kam ich mir wie Harry Potter unter der Treppe vor. Die Eigentümer müssen ihre Wohnung direkt über dem Zimmer haben. Es war bis nachts um 1 abartig laut. Es hat gescheppert und gerumpelt. Am nächsten Morgen wollte ich meinen Schlüssel abgeben. Es war niemand zu erreichen und das B&B war auch komplett geschlossen. Da war mir klar, warum es keine warme Küche gab. Ich war anscheinend der einzige Gast. ##### Helge Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharon Jane 30 Apr 2022 ##### Sharon Jane Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Frank 16 Apr 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Eine heruntergekommene Absteige.

I didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food. Walking distance to local shops and various takeaways, petrol station just down the road and bus stop right outside. Large car park. Beautiful views of the coastline. Would consider staying here again. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Louise 1 Apr 2022 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Disappointing! I had booked a room which included cooked breakfast. On arrival was told no chef no food. I was handed a breakfast bag containing a croissant, cereal bar, cocoa pops (i must of looked 5 years old) and half carton of milk which was warm by the morning. No apology no offer of a refund. Small towel was discoloured and shower head was rusty. All in all not impressed at all!! ![Discoloured towel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/147BCC08F5FAFFE8B3AB94BBACF746835CA1ADA21648817188179.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Rusty shower head](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32FA1B8F98637EEEFD7A7291EC06375F3A4B5CD01648817256896.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Oliver 19 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff.

The bedroom windows were covered in bird poo. I think it was a reasonable price for 3 people to stay there and there was plenty of car parking space but if you want a fancy hotel this isn’t it. ##### Collette Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra 5 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 27 Jan 2022 Liked: Staff & service #### Disappointed. I booked the room late as it advertised a restaurant - not available due to staff shortages and no notification before, during or after booking. Not impressed. The room was cold - there was a second heater so that tells the story and the bathroom was freezing so that where the extra heater went. The room and bathroom condition was poor. It advertised free wifi but it was impossible to connect and I was next to the main building (pub) - not impressed. Free parking was useful. I left before breakfast which I expected but start time is 08:00 which is quite late. I would not stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ester 26 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Ester Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### matthew 26 Jan 2022 Stayed in one of the small solo rooms while travelling for business, although the staff were friendly and the breakfast very nice not much else good can be said. No evening food was being served although it was advertised online and outside The room opened to the smoking area, the loud locals can't be helped but the small blind gave little privacy. The water temperature was lukewarm at best and the door to the bathroom struck the bed every time it was opened I'm sure the more expensive rooms are fine but for a single traveller, I would avoid ##### matthew Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eleanor 24 Jan 2022 Liked: Staff & service ##### Eleanor Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### andrew 14 Jan 2022 #### No food at the inn No evening food available due to no kitchen staff.

Thank you ##### Lyn Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Guy 7 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A pleasant surprise Chose this hotel because of a) its proximity to Sussex University and b) the low price. My modest expectations were exceeded: the staff were really friendly and helpful, the bar was pleasant, and the room - while small and slightly shabby - was very clean. My only criticism is that breakfast didn't start until 9am on Saturday (an hour after I had to leave) so I missed starting the day with a full English. ##### Guy Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike 6 Dec 2021 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Great value for money, super friendly staff and would say price point spot on.
