The Ardingly Inn

We give the cleanliness of the room and bathroom a zero! The bed itself was dirty, the carpet had stains on it, the walls of the bathroom were streaky and needed washing down and we didn't use the shower as the grouting between the tiles was black! We had paid for breakfast but on the second morning, there was no one to be seen and the breakfast room was locked so we left hungry (there was another couple waiting to get into the breakfast room and they too went without)! The pub itself looks nice enough from the outside but inside, it's brightly lit (so not cosy) and no atmosphere.

We booked in for a 2 night bed and breakfast stay to coincide with The Ardingly Antique fair. On arrival we were impressed and had a good lunch. We got up the following morning and went to breakfast. Unfortunately all the doors were locked so no breakfast nobody around. We picked up a bacon sandwich from the bakery next door. Just unbelievable. We were told various blame stories from the chef and the bar staff. We were offered a complimentary dinner. Overnight and on the morning not one person was at the Inn. Everything was locked except the front door so good job there wasn't a fire. Breakfast the following day was a help yourself buffet with no tea/ coffee and once again no one around. This place should not provide bed and breakfast if this is what they offer. Also I would suggest you avoid the small bottle of Prosecco at £10 a time. I am being fairly kind with this review.

Supported their supper club evening with friends from the village on Thursday. The food was very good indeed and a value for money menu. It's so good to now have a Public House serving such good restaurant quality food in our village. Will definitely go again

Had a lovely meal here after visiting Wakehurst. They were able to provide us with a table despite not having a reservation. The Bar and Restaurant were very cosy and the menu and drinks on offer were great. Food was very tasty with a decent sized portion. Would visit here again if in the area.

Went in for Sunday for a roast dinner it was amazing the staff was so friendly and helpful and the place was clean and tidy and I would recommend anyone to go there and I will be going back as it was so great I will recommend to all my friends and family

Received such a warm friendly welcome upon arrival, stayed here for an overnight from London, bedroom was lovely and clean, really fluffy towels! Breakfast was delicious & a really lovely service from Nikki. Will definitely go again , thank you !
