“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.”

Decent Breakfast, Some Disappointments
insecure door shower problem
All staff I spoke to were nice and very helpful people.
The room door felt insecure, which worried me a bit. the shower barely worked and only a drizzle of water came out. I was dissapointed by this.
