“The Wheatsheaf Inn strikes me as a place where the charm of Cuckfield is genuinely felt. While some might notice the quirks of an older building, I found its lively pub, welcoming staff and historical details a fair trade, particularly for exploring Sussex. Its location felt both safe and convenient.”
