6/10 Good

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nous avons été reçu par des gens vraiment sympathiques. Ils nous ont même guidé pour la fin de notre journée. Le déjeuner n’était pas compris mais ils nous ont quand même offert le service à un prix abordable. Un des meilleurs accueil de notre voyage.

Perfect peaceful Sussex getaway spot
We had the most delightful 48h in the Hiker’s Rest 1 budget cottage during our weekend at Glyndebourne and Charleston Festivals. Val and David were very welcoming and helpful. There was a communal fridge to store our picnic bits, easy parking onsite, and fabulous water pressure (never a given, even at luxe hotels!). We’re already planning our next visit.

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.

Perfect for what we wanted being just a few minutes from Glyndebourne and for our spaniel. A delightful little hamlet.

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

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!!
