Would return but in a larger unit ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tina Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice lodge, great for an overnight stay. Lovely little lodge, nice & clean, had everything we needed for a one night stay. Great view from the the lodge overlooking the countryside & very peaceful. The instructions were easy to follow & the grounds of the lodge & main house were beautiful. Walking distance to a nice pub for food. We didn't meet the owners as it's a self check in & out. ##### Tina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kumudini Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities EASY ACCESS TO SUTH DOWNS PARK BUT BEAUTUFUL AND QUITE LOCATION, SMALL BUT COMFORTABLE ##### Kumudini Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler May 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean , very pleasant people and most welcoming ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane Oct 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is ideal for walkers on the South Downs Way and it’s only a 700 metre walk to the closest pub (via a safe bicycle path) for dinner. ##### Diane Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malcolm Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The owners are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room I had, though not spacious, was fine for one. I would be very happy to stay there again. ##### Malcolm Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EM Jun 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful country setting The Hikers Rest is in a small cabin in a beautiful setting overlooking the owner’s lovely garden. Room is small but very nicely made up with all facilities you need. ##### EM Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### gemma Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall lovely place to stay. Super friendly hosts Absolutely stunning view sitting on the decking in the evening, very friendly owners and overall lovely place to stay. One issue that is perhaps a personal preference is that the fold out sofa bed mattress looked old and was quite thin so one of my children struggled a little. ##### gemma Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### S Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Everything we wanted Cosy cabin for a one night stay. Secluded, peaceful spot, lovely views, and very friendly hosts. Shower temperature control a little wayward but our compact room was spotless and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed. Lovely breakfast. ##### S Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities David and Val were very accommodating and friendly. Nothing was oo much trouble for them. We had a lovely room - and breakfast is fantastic! A return is definitely on the cards. ##### Tracy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### hilary Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Clean & functional room Clean & functional room. Would recommend booking breakfast (if wanted) before arrival. We missed out as we only let them know when we arrived at 19.30 and were told in the morning that it was only available at 8.30am, we needed to leave at 8am. ##### hilary Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen Sep 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Walking the South Downs Way as a solo traveler there were limited options when I booked so about 40 minutes walk from the trail. Really need a car to make the most of the property. Expensive for a one person stopover, breakfast also not available unless pre-booked. Very clean and good facilities though - just not ideal for me. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Away for work One night stay, room was cosy, so suitable for 1 night. Stayed in Hikers Rest 2\. Ensuite was large but shower head needs attention. Microwave in room and some paper plates and disposable cutlery. Bed comfortable and pillows were brilliant. Large car park to rear of property and lighting outside property with sensors so it came on after dark. I walked to the nearest pub (The Barley Mow) but it did not serve food on a Wednesday night, so had to drive to another pub to get food. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Colin Sep 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Moan moan moan!!! Pros: clean, comfortable sleep, Instant hot water, ample parking. Cons: little space around bed (a single bed would have been better in this space) No surface area for working, No chair of any type No food offering. ( I knew this before booking) No shelving other than window sill for bathroom stuff! No wifi, I don’t think Towels should be next to wash basin not other side of toilet. I didn’t see any information regarding nearby places for an evening meal. A general warning, accessing the main road west or east is a challenging task Perhaps my visit caught me on a bad day!! ##### Colin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth May 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very convenient for Glyndebourne.
