Friendly staff in small coaching inn. Big spacious rooms
The Castle Inn was very clean. Ample free parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked and lovely, with plenty of choice. Room was large, with a huge bed, separate bath and shower
Enjoyable stay for a couple of nights. Great food, both dinner and breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. There isn't a single right angle or level floor in the inn but that just adds to its charm. Hot water takes an age to come through in the bathroom but there is sign to that effect. Would stay again.
Highly recommend staying at The Castle Inn... rooms are modern & spotless... good choice of food (Restaurant or Bar)... staff very friendly & welcoming... will definitely be staying again
I enjoyed my stay and the staff were great.
But I had problems getting shower going and there was no heating on. Both problems were fixed but there could have been more info. Especially as the pub was closed the Sunday evening I arrived so no help available.
Stayed for a family reunion and we had a private room, they were all amazing

The Inn is in a lovely location. We were disappointed however on arrival when we were charged for a second night even though we were booked for one. Our room was in the eaves, very snall and the window was too high to look out from. The shower was terrible - either icy cold or scalding hot.
The food served at the hotel was delicious - no complaints there.
Overall though a disappointing stay for the price - over £200 for one nighy. It wasnt worth it.
Walking the South Downs Way a great place to stop and stay. Very good food options for a Monday night and nice friendly customer service.

Stayed for a wedding and since it was on a Friday night it was double the price of the night before. Seems extreme! Village is very picturesque. My room was in a building separate to the pub which was possibly quieter. It’s all old so sound proofing isn’t a thing. My double bed was very comfortable but the room was quite small. Bathroom showing signs of age. Good selection for tea/coffee in room.
A nice stay for the convenience but I don’t think it was worth £150. Breakfast was ok. Quite a lot of choice but the cooked breakfast was small in comparison to others I have had.
