Nice lodge, great for an overnight stay.

Lovely little lodge, nice & clean, had everything we needed for a one night stay. Great view from the the lodge overlooking the countryside & very peaceful. The instructions were easy to follow & the grounds of the lodge & main house were beautiful. Walking distance to a nice pub for food. We didn't meet the owners as it's a self check in & out.

The property is ideal for walkers on the South Downs Way and it’s only a 700 metre walk to the closest pub (via a safe bicycle path) for dinner.

The owners are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room I had, though not spacious, was fine for one. I would be very happy to stay there again.

South downs stop over

The bed was a king size comfortable bed with nice linen. Clean fluffy towels and plenty of room in the bathroom. The shower was good and did not have any mould. We stayed in one of the pubs old out buildings that has been converted into accommodation. No frills, clean and private. The only thing to consider is that the headboard backs onto the road. That being said only 3 vehicles passed during our stay. The owner was nice and chatty. The blinds in the bedroom did let the morning sun in they did not black out the room. I like a little sun in the morning so it did not bother me. Great back gardening you are thinking of taking your dog. Great view of the downs and peaceful. Great stay and amazing situation for walking. Short drive to a local brewery (Long Man), Zoo and children's adventure park (Drusilla's).

Beautiful country setting

The Hikers Rest is in a small cabin in a beautiful setting overlooking the owner’s lovely garden. Room is small but very nicely made up with all facilities you need.

Everything we wanted

Cosy cabin for a one night stay. Secluded, peaceful spot, lovely views, and very friendly hosts. Shower temperature control a little wayward but our compact room was spotless and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed. Lovely breakfast.
