Very friendly staff and lovely meal downstairs. Parking was difficult but possibly because it was extra busy. The only thing missing in the room was a water glass. Would happily stay again.

Nice old hotel and pub. The food was good. The room was small but clean. The bath could use some modernizing and the bed could use a new mattress. The on site parking lot was fabulous. We would stay again

Really nice pub with rooms, evening meal was excellent and reasonable value. Cooked breakfast was on the whole excellent, only let down being the toast which was under cooked. (Both on the plate under my scrambled eggs and the selection on the toast rack).

Quaint genuinely old pub which, thankfully but unusually these days, has not been "modernised" and had its character removed. Bar and garden area lovely. Excellent beer. Check-in and breakfast staff great. Bedroom had lovely clean sheets and was very clean overall but the bathroom is in need of a refit! Breakfast OK. Excellent big thermal cafetiere of good coffee. It was fine for a night and I would go there again as it is value for money.

Really good option for Lindfield and the surrounding rural Sussex area. And possibly Gatwick. We had an evening at Trading Boundaries and the Bent Arms was perfectly located for the B B we needed. Will return

Superb

This visit was fantastic, The room may be basic by some standards but was functional, comfortable and clean. The food was fantastic and the service could not be faulted. Warm and friendly with nothing too much trouble, indeed staff went above and beyond in helping us with a very demanding timetable. I would book again in a heart beat.

Old Inn experience, kept in great condition. Great food, but service slow. Heating at breakfast not turned on until dining room open, extremely cold and off putting.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bent Arms. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable but the room was very tired and due a refurb. However staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was very good, we didn’t get a chance to eat there as visiting family etc but food looked good when passing. Despite the room we would happily stay again and the fact our room was serviced daily was appreciated, not always done these days! So well done, it was good value and great location.

Last minute stay for my girlfriend and I while we were in the area. A little pricey for two people for what it is. The room itself was spacious, the en-suite bathroom was very small but the shower fixture/pressure and consistent flow and water made up for it. The en-suite needs a good revamp, the room needs the same too, or at least the ceiling, door frames and walls all need a fresh lick of paint white and magnolia to brighten the place up and compensate for a desperate revamp, curtains need changing or at least fixing. The mattress of the double bed was surprisingly comfortable and the pillows. Towels were not bad either. Had a good night sleep and everything was quiet, and the breakfast in the morning was a big surprise. We were greeted with Howard from Ireland, a very nice chap. Made my girlfriend and I what we wanted. Poached eggs and bacon on toast with fresh real coffee in a French press. The quality of the coffee and bacon and eggs was surprisingly good than what we were expecting or what usually comes with free breakfast on your stay at b&bs . Going forward I would return but you seriously need to decorate and revamp the rooms and make sure the breakfast was impressive for every guest and for every day of the week, consistency is a must.
