The Ardingly Inn - Mid Sussex

Fabulous lunch, food was lovely,staff friendly,and the garden was so peaceful and relaxing, if they had more vegetarian options it would have been a five star,

Great Sunday roast. Friendly welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

I can’t stress just how poor our visit was, how disappointing and how angry it made me. We booked a room on their website to which they confirmed by email. I stress this as they had ample opportunity to advise us they had a live band playing a few metres from our room until 11pm! After that a noisy table of people continued shouting until 11.45pm. This followed one of the worst meals we have tried to eat. In a totally empty restaurant devoid of any atmosphere not a picture on the walls, poor lighting and scruffy furniture overlooking a dilapidated garden. Our food included Concrete pies and peas like bullets, even the ice cream had ice crystals in it. It was in all an appalling experience save the cleanliness of the room and the sincere embarrassment of the guy who attended us.

We booked on their website expecting to find the comfortable and friendly accommodation the site promised. They confirmed our booking by email but said nothing about a live band playing a few metres from our room until 11pm nor that a noisy group of people would then shout even closer to us until 11.45pm. Having asked if we would be dining we entered a totally empty restaurant to be served one of the worst meals we have ever tried to eat. The whole experience was a nightmare only slightly relieved by the sincere embarrassment and apologies from the guy to whom we complained. (Not the owner). The room was clean but cold and did not warm up when we asked the owner why the radiator couldn’t be adjusted up as it was stone cold.

Visited a few of friends who were staying here before a wedding the next day at The Ravenswood. The garden could 've done with a few more tables and chairs. Food was very nice and the fully loaded 12 pizza was excellent.
