It was fine for me, but taller people would have to duck to get into the shower area. Unsurprisingly for such an old building the walls are thin so noise carries, although I didn't find it a problem.

Chalk Farm Hotel was comfortable and very convenient for walking on the South Downs. My room was very large with good quality tea, coffee and biscuits as well as a complimentary bottle of spring water. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was very good. The place has a lot of character and has an interesting George Orwell connection as it is thought that Animal Farm was based on Chalk Farm

TV didn’t work and despite best efforts of the person on duty, he couldn’t fix it. The room “Benjamin” was good, but the shower room was very basic.

Friendly, helpful staff, quiet room, comfortable bed, lovely view over the garden, excellent breakfast cooked to order, good value.

Bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom was extremely small, my other half couldn't have a shower and he couldn't stand up straight in it, If you are 5ft you are fine, he is 6ft and couldn't use shower in the room

The breakfast was amazing, plenty of choice and lovely, staff were all polite and very helpful,

Shower pretty bad. Difficult to get the temperature correct and kept suddenly going hot or cold. However, minor compared to pluses for the price.

Friendly and nothing too much trouble. Great location and clean and met our needs. Breakfast good.

All good

All staff including the owners or manager took time to make you feel welcome and speak to you. We had been at a combination property types during our trip and this was a pleasant change from the big hotel experience.

The bed wasn’t the most comfortable.

A lovely old property with plenty of character. It is seated in a beautiful location. The breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely book again!

Mattresses were a bit old and not too comfy, but enough as we only stayed one night.

We loved the place, cosy and authentic. Great breakfast and value for money. Super nice staff.

Mattress was a bit springy and needs updating .

Staff were excellent ..friendly and very efficient. Breakfast was also excellent . Location was fantastic ..couple of lovely pubs within a few mins walking distance . It's a very old quirky building which we quite liked , our room was very 'wonky ' literally the bed would be 2 foot away from the wall by the time you woke up on a morning the floor was so slanted but we quite liked the quirkiness of it all . Mattress could do with updating as was uneven and quite springy on one side and everywhere could probably do with a lick of paint . It's not the ritz but over all was clean and tidy and great value for money and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again .

I did bang my head on a wall in the bathroom (I'm 5'3"). We would have liked another bedside light

Beautiful old buildings in lovely countryside. Unusual quaint room. Delicious breakfast!

The people above us were walking around loads and for ages when I was trying to sleep and the floor boards are creaky in an older building. The bathroom was a very tight squeeze (but the shower was good).

Having a bottle of spring water in the room was a great touch as I don’t like tap water. The breakfast was fantastic - a full English with gluten free toast, fruit juice and they even had camomile tea. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room (with the exception of the bathroom was really nice.

The only minor issue was the bathroom was small, but given the age of the property that is unavoidable

Staff were excellent - really friendly, professional and helpful. Reason enough to return in itself! The breakfast was also excellent - I'd give it a 10/10!
