“The thoughtful breakfast hamper delivered to the room was a genuine highlight, offering a continental start made with fresh, local ingredients that felt very personal. Rooms, particularly those overlooking the village green, were well-appointed and remarkably quiet, proving a comfortable base with excellent beds. The quality of the food served in the restaurant stood out, showcasing well-prepared dishes using local produce, and the proximity to the Knepp rewilding project was a significant advantage for nature enthusiasts.”
