I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms are very basic digs, bed, tea making stuff, and a nice modern rain shower. There's no fridge or AC as expected in a pub room, I did find though that the room was unusually warm all the time. I kept the window open for my entire stay, had a fan in the room (supplied by the pub) and it was still pretty warm. Not sure where the heat is coming from, it was cool and overcast all the time I was there and the pub downstairs is cool. Who knows, but if you're from USA staying here and are use to AC then this may be a little out your comfort zone.
Staff were amazing, nice friendly clean pub, great selection of food and drinks, and it's tucked away nicely away from the main roads.
Beach is a 5 minute walk, bus into Brighton is even closer, all in all it's a solid 9/10. And if you don't mind a slightly warm room at night, then this will be a 10/10 place for you.
