    Cosy stay between Xmas and New Year
    Lovely, clean room with nice touches such as bottled water, bottled milk and china cups. Huge bed and very comfortable. Clean, spacious bathroom with a lovely shower. Breakfast (and the evening meal we had) were excellent and the staff/service was great. Remot but good location for exploring the South Downs and South Coast. Hope to go back

    Wonderful option in the area, worth the drive out of Lewes
    We were very well looked after by attentive and friendly staff (particular thanks to Chrissie), the room was very spacious (we opted premium, other rooms looked much more modest in size) and well fitted. We found some unexpected comforts for a country inn like bathrobes, complimentary chocolates, milk and water in the fridge. The food is fantastic. A big and very delicious breakfast. We also had a fantastic lunch upon arrival. A really nice experience overall.
    There is not much not to like, really. The only thing I could think of was the soggy path from the car park to the rooms.

    Cosy and Comfortable
    Very pretty pub with a roaring fire, and the emperor sized beds are like sleeping on a cloud. Hot and strong shower, homemade elderflower cordial and chocolates in the rooms. Ive tried all the rooms during the time Ive stayed, and theyre all great. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who are kind and attentive, including setting me off to work with a hot bacon sandwich because I was leaving very early. The food is also fantastic and VERY importantly, they are dog friendly. Ive already booked to return.
    The steps up to the bedrooms at the back of the pub are a little hairy, but the staff are happy to help you negotiate them.

    Successful and interesting.
    Old and quirky. An interesting environment in which to have breakfast.
    The local road, very muddy, the stairs up to our room.

    Great room and service
    We had an amazing stay. The room and facilities provided were great. The bed was so comfortable, we really struggled to get out in the morning. We would definitely come again if needed as we were attending an event in the area.

    Lovely old traditional pub , comfortable rooms
    Jolly sportsman is tucked away in a beautiful location , foot of South Downs : Warm welcome , room was clean and very comfortable, only one night stay Dinner : proper county pub , food is top quality and surprisingly good wine list : staff and service excellent. Everyone @ the jolly sportsman friendly and helpful : Good breakfast choice We would stay again when next in the area
    Our bedroom window was broken and would not open : not a big issue on a cold evening, but could of been on a hot summers day Unfortunately few key items missing off the menu , sold out , so maybe an unlucky evening for us.
