    Rooms are up an outside metal staircase, fine for us but not anyone with restricted physical ability

    Lovely staff. Excellent food, and really excellent choice of wines , best I have had for a while but at reasonable prices. Views in summer would be amazing. Quiet village location. No breakfast available but 2-3 min walk to local shop/cafe, again really friendly, choice of vegetarian or traditional breakfast butties etc.

    The location is incredible so beautiful and the pub food is really amazing! We drove for breakfast in the morning at a farm shop nearby called Wylands that does local produce breakfast. Bed was so comfy and I don’t think I’ve been in a bigger shower! On the Sunday we had the roast lunch at the White Hart which is amazing and made with local meat. 10/10

    The room cost more than we would normally pay for a pub/hotel including breakfast so, although very nice, we thought it was not particularly good value for money. The road outside was pretty busy in the morning.

    We needed somewhere to stay overnight near Battle and chose this pub because it looked nice and we could also get an evening meal on the premises . Our plans changed and we ended up arriving late and leaving early which meant that we had no direct contact with the staff although we telephoned and were sent clear instructions on how to access our room which was not large but immaculately clean.

    Pity there was no breakfast - the restaurant menu looked very good and it is obviously a popular place, unfortunately we did not find the local café mentioned for providing a great breakfast, maybe next time, maybe a post code for the sat nav?

    The location was very good, wonderful view from the back, room was very clean and recently refurbished to a very good standard, very comfortable bed - a great night's sleep, can't ask for much more

    A mini fridge with real milk would have been a lovely addition; great to have tea and coffee facilities, UHT spoils everything you put it in!

    Nicely sized room with a very comfy bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Ideal for what we needed, which was literally a bed after a party. Easy access with code, so coming in late wasn't a problem. Didn't stay for breakfast, so can't pass judgement.

    We paid £157 per night but there was no housekeeping for second night so the room was not made up and the toilet paper etc was not resupplied. Only got the instructions on how to get in at 11pm on the evening we were due to check in as the staff were very busy and hadn’t had time to reply to my query. Avoid the breakfast they recommend at the local cafe unless you have plenty of time. We waited an hour after placing our order and had to leave without having received any food as due at a wedding.

    Excellent location and lovely room.

    We were there for three nights, it might have been nice for someone to come in and change the bins/freshen up the room at some point. But that is not a big issue, they were very busy.

    The view is amazing, the location could not be better. We couldn't get over it. The rooms are on the small side, but well furnished. Particularly want to call out the comfy bed with lovely sheets. It was very hot when we were there so it was great that every room had a fan. There was a little confusion with the rooms and the staff were nice enough to switch one of the chairs for a comfy chair, no fuss, which was massively appreciated.

    As the White Hart is not open on a Monday & Tuesday we thought that, a small fridge in our room would have been a benefit to people staying over these days.

    We stayed in the Turner Room for the views of the south-downs which were amazing. We also had a meal late on Sunday afternoon which was very good & the prices at the White Hart are reasonable. All staff were excellent as well. The White Hart does not do breakfast but the village shop/cafe does an excellent one which is a short walk away
