We were blown away by this beautiful place! The views and environment is absolutely breathtaking. We met some really lovely people and the young men who worked there in the evenings were helpful and very professional yet kind to everyone. The kitchen is well kitted out and there is a good system for marking your own food in the fridge etc. The showers were really good too and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the comfy sofas with the best view in the South Downs. The little restaurant serves delicious food and drinks too.
