Rapid service from a kindly bar person. A nice, relaxing pint of Neck Oil. Well - at half-one on a Thursday afternoon, anyway. Also saw a beer garden and a decent conservatory, although I didn't use either as I was happy where I was listening to the locals talking about horse racing and the coldness of the weather.

If it's close proximity to the Newhaven ferry you're after, this is an ideal place to stay. Lovely staff, quite old fashioned hotel but all clean and well cared for. Good breakfast. Pet friendly too

We had a lovely stay at the white lion, the room was very clean and comfortable, last time we stayed there we ate elsewhere, what a big mistake, the meal we had in the white lion was superb, we had six in our party and all were very impressed with their meal. Also the staff were very attentive, especially Martin and Jordan

Myself and 6 friends had a get together there last week for an evening meal and could not have been happier.. If the rooms are as good as the food and service then I would rate the hotel 4star for sure. Plenty of food on our plates and all served up piping hot .. Will definitely return 👍

The white Lion laid on some lovely food at a very reasonable price and also provided a free private room for a wake. They were very flexible with options when booking, the food and drink was excellent and they couldn't have been more hospitable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Ci sono stato solo per una notte il 12 agosto. Camera enorme, pulita e con dotazione funzionante. Tutta la struttura avrebbe bisogno di una rinfrescata ma tutto sommato accettabile. La colazione inclusa, tipicamente inglese senza molte alternative comunque ben cucinata. Nessun problema dal Pub sottostante.

Stayed for a week while working in Seaford. Had such a great time I stayed another week before staying in the bungalow we were doing up. Made a point to return at least once a week throughout the project to enjoy the fantastic food and the company of Mike, Paige, Jess and Alicia. And Tracy's desserts are to die for. If you haven't stayed or eaten here there is only one question - why not? You won't be disappointed!!

I’ve been to eat here several times with my family so we booked for Mother’s Day today. On every level this was disappointing. We sat down and for over 30 minutes were completely ignored by staff. After asking a waitress how to order she said we have to go to the bar (which was interesting as we watched all the other tables receiving table service throughout). We were sat near the door and staff repeatedly opened the door and then left it open despite us asking to close it as it was cold. After ordering at the bar we waited another 30+ minutes for our food to arrive- still being completely ignored by staff and no explanation about why we had now been waiting for over an hour. We ate there a few weeks ago and had Sunday roasts which were fantastic. Today they arrived and were significantly smaller, minimal gravy as opposed to last time when they were large and covered in gravy. Vegetables were basic and boiled- not roasted like last time. Meat was tiny portion and the roast potatoes were undercooked. None of us (5 people) enjoyed our meal. The waitress slammed all our plates down and then there was no attempt to take dessert/drink orders at all. So another 15 minutes later I went to the bar to order dessert for 3 of our party. All 3 desserts were terrible. The trifle was watery, and the cheesecake was like a minty, foamy weird affair! When we went to pay the bar staff asked how the meal was, twice, so I said that I didn’t want to cause a scene but we were really disappointed because a couple of weeks ago we had a lovely meal and today was not enjoyable at all. She apologised but made no attempt to give a discount or offer a drink on the house. We paid the bill, and luckily before we left I took a second look at the bill (which again id had to request at the bar). We had been overcharged almost £50!!! We received a lack lustre apology once again, and got the amount we were overcharged back - to the penny! We were all appalled with every single element of our meal today and will find a new local as we certainly will not be returning

Went in October 2021, with my wife and a mutual friend. Ate in the conservatory, which was a bit nippy at 7pm, but not a problem staff closed windows when we asked and other diners happy with that. I had pie 🥧 of the day, with mash and veg, which was venison and a full short crust pastry pie, no flimsy puff lids here. My wife and Friend both had scampi and chips. A few issues, just a bit lacking in getting it right, scampi came with no Tatar sauce, although clearly on the menu, came when asked, pie came with no gravy, came when asked, diet coke was flat but replaced with no issues. For dessert, sticky toffee pudding great, apple crumble not so topping not crumbly but a bit 'claggy' obviously been reheated. Only spotted the specials board later, looked like some good stuff on there. So all in all, reasonably good food, but attention to detail could have made it great. P.S. the chips were more like fries. Have been before, probably go again, but at 10.95 for a main expect a bit more.

I and my friend spent one night while on a trip around South England. We had two separate single rooms, and we both were unhappy and disappointed. The room and the bathroom were very clean, and the owner was friendly; however, the toilet doesn't flush properly and the water in the little sink takes ages to flow. The bed and the pillows are extremely uncomfortable, the people staying in the other rooms were very noisy, slamming doors and making loud noises in the hallway during the entire night. The window wasn't closing properly so I could hear all the noise from the main street, which was keeping me and my friend awake. Also, with the excuse of the pandemic, they say that for breakfast they only have a sandwich and a pack of crisps, no alternatives; it is absolutely ridiculous that you don't have even a very limited choice, especially because they don't tell you while you're booking. The website says that you have a continental breakfast, without specifying that, due to the pandemic, the service is temporarily reduced. It's very easy to find much better for the same price, I highly not recommend it.
