Difficulty in finding property. Needs sign at entrance. Very dangerous exiting drive onto lane. Needs a mirror opposite to show lane both ways. Lodge and rooms very small. Trip switch overloads if you use kettle and use cooker same time. However, my tel contact and personal contact with the gentleman owner was very convivial.

Dated and worn out

We stayed in the cottage at Tovey Lodge. It was very dated, which was fine, but it was also worn out. The sofa bed needs replacing due to peeling material and the mattress on this was so thin there is no way an adult could sleep on there. Luckily our 7 year old can sleep anywhere. The main bed was uncomfortable with a too small mattress topper which didn't reach the edges and because of this we only stayed for two of the three nights we had booked as we needed sleep. The booking was also mis-advertised as including breakfast, which was not the case. That said the proprietor was friendly and it may be that the B&B is of a much higher standard.

Great accommodation and excellent owners

Was made to feel very welcome by Roy and Diane.....checked in early and no problem having travelled from Essex. Great room with excellent facilities. Breakfast consisted of what ever you wanted.

A great stay in a great B & B

We had two lovely nights at Tovey Lodge. Very comfortable well appointed place, plus an excellent breakfast. Beautiful and peaceful location just outside Ditchling Village nestling under the South Downs and yet close to plenty of places of interest.

Customer service lacking

The b&b was absolutely beautiful however we were really disappointed with the customer service and were astounded when we were trying to relax in the pool and jacuzzi to hear a massive argument between the owner and son, it made us feel very comfortable and massively hindered our relaxation.

Fantastic hosts

My young daughter and I planned a short visit to Brighton and wanted to stay somewhere close, but not in the tow.n. Tovey Lodge was more out-of-the-way than we intended, but the surrounding scenery was lovely and everything else was superb. Roy and his wife could not have been better hosts and the facilities - including bathrobes, slippers, towels for the heated indoor pool etc - were excellent. The breakfast was way beyond what we expected. I would definitely stay there again - if we are revisiting that part of the country.

Lovely spot for a quiet break

Friendly reception, lovely room,good communication,great spot, quiet, overall a good experience. Well placed for access to various pubs for evening meals, and for local trains to Brighton. Although we didn't make use of the spa facilities it all looked great.

Luxury in a rural idyll

Wonderful accomodation, wonderful hosts, wonderful location - tucked away into a genuine rural location. Our hosts' recommendation for the local pub for dinner was exactly what we were looking for and we were given a comprehensive list of local must see attractions too. The breakfast was lovely with lots of room for individual orders. Our only regret was that we were there for one night.
