Nice clean and comfortable hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Price is on the high side given the limited facilities, location and small room but otherwise very good, with an excellent breakfast. No fridge in the room but that appears to be common in British hotels

Good spot for a stay in Haywards Heath. My only complaint was the internal room I had was quite warm due to no breeze with the window open and
No fan or AC.
