If you like a 400-year-old English Country Pub this site is for you as it was for us. We loved the quaint atmosphere and the cheerful staff. Food was traditional fare and well presented. Parking was close to accommodation.

Very cosy, log fires in a 400year old building with character and history on the edge of a small village. Ideal for visiting the Goodwood events, the Downland Museum and West Dean Gardens.
