The Ardingly Inn

The accommodation provides spacious, clean rooms with comfortable beds and friendly staff. Guests appreciate the delicious breakfast and spotless cleanliness.

Room was spacious and well decorated, included a long mirror which can so often not be included. Bed was super comfortable and it was a great location to the venues we were attending locally. Lovely greeting on arrival and tasty well cooked breakfast in the morning. Not so great was the lack of any USB points and water in the room, but was provided the water on request and graciously our greeter let us borrow their own charger for a few hours. ♥ The shower hot and cold water was wrongly plumbed in so they were reversed to what's shown on the tap - a relief when realised this and could finally shower :) Not sure that this is bad, but there doesn't seem to be any staff available on site overnight, and only the chef there in the morning for breakfast. Whilst the room met our expectations there can be some simple easy improvements made, like some hooks behind the bathroom to hang towels when showering or by the sink. Or more significant changes like widen the shower cubicle (which is tight fit) by extending it towards the unused gap by the toilet. I understand its under new management so it'd be good to see some improvements made to a venue with such a lot of promise.

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.
