Overall would recommend to anybody
Charming village pub with tasteful, understated period decor throughout. Our room and the whole premises were clean, comfortable and well maintained. Staff were helpful and plenty of local information (books, guides etc.) was provided.The only disappointment was the food; what we ate was of good quality and well prepared but choice was limited, especially at breakfast.
The couple who run this place, are very friendly. The whole place is in good order, the room we had was nice and comfortable with a nice shower. The food we had was excellent. We would stay here again.
Beautifully redesigned interior with fresh colours and period furniture. We loved all the details such as the books and real art work by local artists in the bedroom. Lovely bar and good breakfast with a great display of art on the theme of the Long Man. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location for visiting The Long Man and Lewes.
Great stay at the Long Man Inn. Very quiet location, great hosts and staff, brilliant food and beer.
A great redevelopment of the original building into a pub with great rooms.
Stayed for a business trip.
Everyone was very friendly, ended up staying up too late drinking the local ale with the regulars.
Food was amazing the rooms are comfortable and everything seems new.
Will stay again.
A proper pub with rooms. Friendly staff and a clean comfortable room made for a lovely stay after walking the South Downs way from Eastbourne. Evening meal was very nice and breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
