Really enjoyed our stay for three nights at the Blacksmiths. Warm welcome, great food and a very clean room. Traffic is a bit busy and noisy at times but not something you can do much about. Would happily stay again in this historic local pub set in stunning scenery.

Jazz was very welcoming and helpful especially to my husband who had difficulty getting up and down the extremely steep stairs.The room was well serviced and he served a good breakfast.

We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night in order to visit Brighton but we didn’t wish to stay in Brighton. Jaz our host was so friendly, he also cooks which has to be the best Jamaican food I’ve ever tasted. Our room was spotless with an enormous bathroom and a marvellously powerful shower. Breakfast was a full English cooked to order absolutely perfect. I have no problem in recommending this as a great place to stay

The rooms were upstairs from a skeavy pub. The pub was situated directly on a busy road. The room was hot and stuffy (no fan provided) so the window had to stay open. The traffic seemed to be roaring through my room. I had to beg for help carrying my bags up the stairs. English breakfast was offered but only with fried eggs (I can't digest fried food.). Coffee (no tea) was offered. I can't drink coffee. One of the worst places I stayed in the UK (& not cheap.)

I stayed at the Blacksmith Arms for 1 night on the 6th July. I was advised by email the day before to say that there would be no-one there when I arrived via email. They sent instructions to obtain the key, the pub was closed and I was the only person staying there, I have since been advised that the pub was closed on Mondays & Tuesday’s. Had issues sorting the TV out and after a while realised the aerial was unplugged. No breakfast available and via email was advised of somewhere I could get an evening meal. Poor in my opinion and I won’t be staying again.

I hadn't expected a cool reggae B&B with Jamaican menu choices for dinner alongside a full English breakfast before heading off the next morning. All very enjoyable and will definitely consider again.

Good location to explore the South Downs from and not too far from Lewes. Room was adequate for our short stay, comfortable bed and nice towels. A fan and fridge in the room would be nice additions. Room and bathroom could have been cleaner though lots of cobwebs spotted! The breakfast was fine but a little limited, cereals and full English the only offerings.

When we arrived after hot 120 mile journey we found the Blacksmith Arms closed despite a confirmed booking for that day for two nights!!! We knocked and rang them - no response. Had to sit outside by a busy main rd in 35° heat ringing local hotels. The next day we had an email from them saying they weren’t totally closed and the key was under the mat. Why didn’t we see their mobile no on the side door? We went to three doors and there was no message on any of them. Beware!!!

The staff and room were lovely. Bathroom fine but maybe would benefit from updating. Quirky pub with Jamaican influence. Great restaurant. Small menu but Jamaican specialities really tasty. Loving the rum infused custard
