All good and excellent for a 1 night stay following a local wedding reception. Breakfast was very good although I would have preferred a 9 - 10 breakfast on a Sunday morning rather than an 8 - 9

Stated pets allowed throughout property so booked a room - however pets not allowed in rooms and suggested they sleep in the car. Could not stay and refused to refund room and were quite rude and disinterested- said to staff to ignore us, it was policy and nothing they could do. Wouldn’t refund even though room had only been booked about 4 hours previously. Terrible service in todays climate

This place was a great find—a true gem. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and quiet. The food was delicious, featuring a Jamaican-inspired menu crafted by the wonderful hosts, Jazz and Drixie, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The rum punch was delightful, and the breakfast included one of the best English breakfasts we've ever tasted. It's definitely worth a visit, if not for an overnight stay, then at least to dine at the restaurant. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more memorable.

Friendly clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the gentle Caribbean atmosphere and were disappointed we did not stay long enough for an evening meal. The only downside is noise from the road, especially in the early morning

Friendly run pub offered great service when we arrived late friday evening. Explained we wouldnt need breakfast the saturday morning as we were leaving early to particiapte in the south downs challenge. Suggested a breakfast tray they would leave outside our room. They did and included fruit, cereal and yogurts. Stayed in the Firle room. 4 poster bed very clean and bed was really comfy. Drinks in the bar reasonable priced and lovely welcome. Breakfast on sunday was full english. Options of cereal too orange juice and fresh coffee Breakfast was freshly cooked and perfect. Car park at rear of pub. Sign at front recommends to turn left when left when leaving and use turning circle 100 yards down the road. Very useful as cars speee past

A welcoming country pub with an eclectic mix of accomodation, food and music. We were made to feel very welcome from start to finish and would highly recommend. Although the menu is limited, what is offered is very good and of a high standard. Rooms were very clean and comfortable with quality towels and bed linen.

We were a little wary drawing up in the car park as the outside area is a bit rough and ready . Once inside we found a lovely traditional old inn and received a warm welcome , especially later when the fire was lit! The hallways and corridor are a bit shabby but our room was newly decorated , vey clean and warm . The bed was comfy with quality bed linens and huge fluffy towels . Tea and coffee making facilities , Wi-Fi code etc. We didn’t eat in the pretty blue and white restaurant which specialised in Jamaican fare but the menu looked good and prices reasonable. Breakfast was served in the restaurant :tea, coffee , cereals ,juice and a full English with real tomatoes and mushrooms ( not tinned )! It was served well presented and hot . All in all for our overnight stay The Blacksmiths Arms provided clean , warm, comfortable value for money .

1. The pub is shut on Mondays&Tuesdays completely! This is not clear at all on booking. I stayed on a Tuesday. I talked to the female owner after I learnt this much later in checkin details. She immediately threatened to cancel my booking as I "was obviously a difficult customer!" No understanding that the reason people book a B&B in a pub is that they want the pub experience and not just a Travelodge/ room experience. 2. Having calmed her down and established that I'd still like to stay, I asked for a small compromise. Our breakfast at 7.40 instead of in the very narrow window of 8 to 9. She agreed. 3. On arrival the male owner greeted me with what at best can be described as neutrality. When he told me that breakfast was served between 8 and 9 I then told him that his colleague had agreed 7.40. He then stated that he cooked breakfast and didnt like cooking that early. I reaffirmed that that was the agreement. He begrudgingly agreed.. with a grunt! So.. this was a management that could really "do enough for you".. no "not" at the beginning. 4. The room was stiflingly hot. no amount of opening windows solved. As if a challenge to the radiators! 5 In the night/early a.m. much noise in car park and through fire door. 6. Breakfast was good and well cooked but greeting by same male unfriendly and monosyllabic. My partner said he was glowering at me behind my back even though I thanked him for starting early. The room was nice but the attitude of both managers...oh dear!

We stayed at The Blacksmiths Arms one weekend night. We were able to check in earlier than expected and were made to feel very welcome. The room was large and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The pub itself is classically styled with wonderfully fresh cask beer. The owners were very hands-on and friendly. We'd happily stay at The Blacksmiths Arms again.
