The Crabtree Inn

Nothing nice about it. Don't go Rubbish everywhere in the car park and in the garage with no door. The pub garden is neglected. Entrance to bedrooms dirty, unhoovered. Varnish missing front doors, walls need a good paint. Cob webs hanging in bathroom, thick dust on lamps, no hairdryer, hot tap has no water coming from it. Old worn out carpets. Dated furniture and curtains didn't meet together. AWFUL.

When I arrived on Thursday a friendly young person welcomed me and showed me to my room . Unfortunately that is where the good news ended .The room reminded me of bedsits from the 1980's . The furniture was dated and the bed creaked, There was a sink in the corner with no hot water ..The bathroom and toilet were down a corridor and had carpet on the floor . On my return on Saturday night I was greeted with a rock band playing full blast below my room .On Sunday night I returned to find the place in darkness and was the only guest staying it seemed .On Monday night I returned and found the place again in darkness and that I was locked out Despite ringing the number and banging on the windows and doors I got no reply and had to revert to my car, As I was going the next day I had to return to retrieve my stuff from my room .Having found a member of staff and informed them of what happened I was greeted with a blank expression .I checked the key and it worked so someone obviously double locked the door from the inside . I contacted Fullers the next day and they passed the buck .I still haven't heard from the premises or received any refund for my non accommodation. Also it advertises as b&b but dont provide breakfast

Overall a good experience. Bar area is nice, open and airy and the welcome was warm and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable but could do with a little TLC. Also it's advertised as a B&B but no breakfast available during our stay. Also the pub closed ad 2000 and we arrived at 1900, which we weren't aware of - not a problem for us this time as we were going out elsewhere, but otherwise might have been.

I always stay at the Crabtree when I visit Shoreham. 6 times this year. I love it. The pub atmosphere with the bands is excellent. They treat me very well. It’s very child friendly. The food is excellent and you’re very close to Shoreham to get anything you need or have forgotten eg Boots for a hairbrush! The room I stay in is en-suite and very comfortable. It’s very close to the train station and buses stop outside. Also they serve Chardonnay which is quite rare. I lived in Sussex for many years and base myself there when people are visiting me.

Dreadful place cannot believe they can charge 90 for this, cold, rotting windows, carpet in bathroom!!!, 4 mins for hot water to come through, and even a rentokil box in room, in this dy and age this place is a,disgrace and has very misleading photos

Staff friendly! Whole of pub is very dated and a bit cluttered. Thought breakfast was included as advertised, but no breakfast! Should have been informed and reduction offered. A little noisy due to railway in close proximity, paintwork in toilet very, very dusty.
