The location was a perfect base for exploring the South Downs. Staff showed top-rate customer service to me. I received a phone call from the manager to check my arrival time for food. I got a lovely breakfast of pain au chocolat, croissants, and tea cakes even though the pub was closed.
The train vibrations and noise continued until 1 AM then started again at 5 AM making restful sleep difficult
