The Wheatsheaf Inn

Cuckfield

This small country inn has a number rooms. Twin rooms are mostly on the ground floor, and queen rooms upstairs in the mansard area. The rooms are very small, with flat screen TV, a small desk area, wardrobe and tea and coffee making facilities. A good English breakfast is offered. Most of the rooms face the street that can be rather noisy at times, although the windows are soundproofed. As there is no air conditioning, this can be an issue on hot summer days (rarely an issue in Britain, admittedly). Some of the ground floor rooms can also suffer from noise from above – this is an old building and the wooden floors can be quite creaky, and the sounds of conversation (and much else) from above can be clearly heard. During our stay the room was not serviced. Overall, a nice and atmospheric accommodation option, despite some of the negatives.   

Small but comfortable country inn

We visited for breakfast as we were staying nearby. Service was fast and friendly but the food was the star. Best pub breakfast I've had by a mile. Good quality produce and the best scrambled eggs I've had in a long time. Everything was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again. I didn't take a picture as it didn't last long enough!

Best pub breakfast ever!

This is primarily a public house but does offer accommodation which we had the unfortunate experience of having. The shower didn’t work properly and had some dangerous elements to it. We booked a superior suite for myself and my family x2 adults & x2 children. You couldn’t swing a cat in it and 1 of my children were on a very old style sofa bed  the other on a put up bed. The room was located above the kitchen in the attic the room stunk of food. Upon arrival we were told that the room had been set up for just x2 and if we wanted to have it set up for 4 ( x2 Adults  x2 children) that there would be an extra charge of £50! I had confirmation of booking that clearly stated x2 adults x2 children and this included breakfast. 
The shower didn’t work properly but the toilet flushed like being on board an aeroplane. The corner of shower unit was dangerous and my daughter caught her toe and had a splinter from the exposed wood, the tray had no mat so was an ice rink if you dared to have a cold drip shower. 
 The room was incredibly small completely inadequate for us let alone children. 
 Nice breakfast although I only had a cereal as did my children but the cooked breakfast looked good. 
 Upon our checkout they still were adamant about us paying the extra charge and had not even contacted the 3rd party we booked through as they said they would so we had to pay the extra and take it up with the company ourselves upon our return home. Unfortunately for us we had budgeted everything day by day so this was a hit to our budget. I have since had the money refunded thankfully but still we had to cancel things we wanted to do with our kids. This was our only holiday this year! 
 My conclusion was a great pub but shame about the accommodation 
 

Lovely pub, shame about the accommodation

Pleasant small inn, clean but basic room

The dinner and breakfast was very very good - Possible one of the best full English I've had for many a year. The only problem was the room was very small and a bit tired; the beds and pillows are rock solid so woke up with back-ache. The windows are single glazed so traffic noise is an issue in getting a good nights sleep. The bathroom was very small and really could be turned into a wet-room and dispatch the bath.
The dinning areas were very clean, nicely furnished and decorated and the staff were welcoming, friendly and professional.

Enjoyable stay but...

Welcome to the bar and hotel staff who are smiling and listening. The room is very, very comfortable, even though the bathroom is a little small. Typically excellent English breakfast... we had a very pleasant little stay and used this accommodation because the Wheatsheaf is quite ready from Gatwick.

Good ready address for Gatwick

Rooms comfortable, bathrooms a tad small for the larger person. Tea/Coffee facilities good as were the bathroom . Evening food menu very good and well cooked and breakfasts excellent.  Staff very pleasant and helpful. A pleasant stay.

Pleasant Pub Stay

Smooth check in with the helpful and friendly staff. We had a double room which was ok for the one night we were there although the bathroom wasn’t very big at all.

We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was very good and there was a very good breakfast too.

There was parking outside and it was a handy hotel for a one night stay.

One night stay

Just needed somewhere to sleep before photographing a wedding next day. The Wheatsheaf was the cheapest place around and at least had free parking.

Was warmly welcomed and shown to my room. Explanation was given over door codes once the pub shuts, wifi password, breakfast times and how to work the bedroom door lock (it was fiddly!)

Room itself was basic, but clean. Fine for the one night on my own but I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer. 

A little annoyance was the lack of plug sockets anywhere near the bed, meaning charging phone / phone alarm wasn't very user friendly. It also wasn't particularly quiet as could hear other residents in their rooms and was woken up by others leaving.

I had to be off early myself so didn't get to sample breakfast unfortunately.

Basic but it sufficed

Went out for a special meal, and it was exceptional. From when you walk through the door you are made to feel comfortable and relaxed. The drinks are well priced and a large range. The menu is cleverly set up with a simple choice that covers everything you could want, and on top of that the specials they have always add another option. The starters are exceptional. The mains the same along with the desserts. The thing you will remember about the food is the food, not the pompous nature that certain places (try) to impress you when they serve it to you. But one thing that will always make you want to go back is how the staff make you feel. By far one of the best family nights out, but if you just want a quiet drink, yes it's the right place for you.
