The Wheatsheaf Inn

Lovely pub. My room was ok, but it had no wifi reception (signal too weak); no universal power plug; no plug by the bed; no soap in the bathroom (only shampoo)

Thanks again. Ideal spot to stay for festival. Friendly staff & good stay

Other reviews had some negative remarks about it being noisy, old and such, therefore I had some reservations prior to our arrival, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The establishment is an older building and with this comes thin walls, outdated fixtures and other bits but overall it was a comfortable stay. The building had a wonderful charm and had a pub on one side that became lively in the evening and yes, cause some noise but being from the city, nothing that would cause me not to be able to sleep. The staff we interacted with were both welcoming and accommodating, which can be hard to find the two together. We booked the double twin room and while it wasn’t the most luxurious accommodation, it was FAR from the most worst I’ve ever paid for and stayed at. The price we booked, the establishment, staff and location was just what we were looking for to kick off our little excursion throughout various Sussex points of interest. The location is also a quaint town and felt very safe, peaceful and we never worried about our car. If you book with them expecting what you might consider as luxury, then you might be in for a rude awaking. But, if you book accepting that this is an older building, one with some history, is part of the community and therefore lively and filled with people coming and going in the evening at the pub, do not fret and book your stay… a tired traveler will rest essy here.

Such friendly staff

all good except loo took some persuasion to flush!

I stayed at the Wheatsheaf Inn because I was working in the area. My room was comfortable, with a nice en-suite shower room. All the staff I met were friendly and helpful. The rooms are to the side of the pub, which serves excellent breakfast and evening meals. Plenty of parking available. I'd definitely stay here again if working locally. Good value too.

Comfortable room, although challenging under the sloping roof. We found the staff to be helpful and the bar well stocked. Breakfast was excellent and from a varied menu. The kippers were a little hard, perhaps they were grilled and not poached.

The Inn is comfortable and quaint, but what really makes this place shine is the staff. We had nothing but pleasant interactions with the staff we encountered. The English breakfast is wonderful, and it was nice that we had a good place for dinner after a long day. Would definitely recommend and come back.
