Very small room, and even more awkward shape (one of us had to shuffle past the end of the bed to get to the bathroom). Insufficient space for a suitcase. Room did not correspond to any of the photos on the website. We had a DBB deal which appeared to be good value in relation to the (high) room rate. Very pleasant restaurant with lovely views, and friendly service. We felt low priority on Sunday evening as the kitchen closed early and we had to eat at 1845. Two of the four roasts had sold out, as had another of the other limited mains available. The dinner allowance of £50 for two really only covered 2 main courses. Over £23 for just the plated roast seemed excessive. Breakfast was well cooked, but skimpy ( 1 sausage, 1 egg etc.) Toast served on same plate.

We stayed at the Welldiggers Arms, the night before and the night of our Daughters wedding. Management & Staff were very accommodating. We had a large table for dinner 14/4/25 ,which also included my sons birthday.Food was lovely. Bedrooms were all allocated correctly and extra touches added as instructed by bride. Breakfast on 16/4 was hectic for staff as all ate together one large table as requested by Bride & Groom. More outside guests joined for coffee & croissants & to say good bye, it was a great way to end a 3 day celebration.Thanku

Fabulous location Lovely location, great service with happy and helpful staff. Food a bit on the expensive side and limited dinner menu, breakfast was really good. Room ok but the showroom was extremely cold. Everything you needed in the room and fresh milk for drinks. Big plus was a served at the table breakfast and not a buffet.

Perfect for a one night stop. Rooms looking over the countryside are great. Nice comfy bed. No fridge, but the team can get you milk if needed. Had meal in the evening in the pub which was really good and breakfast the next day. Wide choice and really relaxing with views across the fields. The team were helpful with anything too. All in all, glad we booked to stay and explore West Sussex from here.

Lovely food and a beautiful room with a comfy bed and fantastic views over the South Downs. Slow and surly service at breakfast was a shame, but overall a pleasant place to stay.

Great views but some let downs Amazing views but paper thin walls so if you get honeymooners (or whatever they were on) next door good luck! Plus there seems to be a recycling or dump site opposite with hgvs starting to unload from around 6am. Ran out of steak and salmon on first day but they had new stock second day. Food was very nice but we both had bad stomachs on each night, fish batter smelled bad and veg with steak smelled bit funky too. Beer was first class and Butcombe have great scheme for Birthdays and midweek dining.
