Great pub with amazing beer garden
Fantastic friendly pub, we couldn’t stay as the rooms weren’t ready when we booked our walk on the South Downs but we visited for the first England euro 24 match. Great place really friendly locals . The beer garden with views of the marches with muntjac deer grazing in the evening is one of the best you will find in England Good selection of local beers and friendly customers and staff

Perfect stop for cyclists!
What a wonderful time we had the the Sportsman Inn while cycling the SDW. A very warm welcome, delicious meals, lovely people & stunning view. The rooms had everything we needed and the secure bike parking was awesome. Cannot recommend The Sportsman Inn more highly!

Overnight stay and evening meal
What a gem! Stopped here for a night whilst walking the South Downs Way, and received a very warm friendly welcome. The room was simply furnished, comfortable, very clean, with thoughtful extras provided. The menu for the evening meal was small but perfect for the end of a long day, and the food was the best we'd had in the week so far. The atmosphere was warm and we loved the unexpected open mic live music. Altogether a great find and would thoroughly recommend for a stop-over. Well done guys!

Good stop while cycling
Nice community run country pub . Clean comfortable room with great views , we stopped her on night 2 of my granddaughter (12) and mine southdowns bike ride , mile or so from southdowns way through village , we stopped here as we intended visiting Amberley heritage museum. Unfortunately the chef had left so no food but was explained on arrival and a takeaway was organised and eaten in the conservatory. Continental breakfast was good . Comfortable bed good nights sleep . Secure storage for bikes .

Friendly pub, great beer, breathtaking view.
The Sportsman is currently being run by volunteers in the hope that it will become a community asset. Fingers crossed they succeed, because this is a great pub with an amazing view. We drank well-kept ales while listening to a nightingale and watching a sea eagle. We mustn't lose pubs like this, so drop by and support them. Highly recommended!

Great food and fantastic location
The food was very nice and the location is exceptional. It was a warm evening and we sat outside on the terrace overlooking the water meadows. We had a fantastic evening.

Excellent Sunday Lunch
A little off the main road but we’ll worth the effort to find down the lanes. Unplanned Sunday lunch stop off driving home from a weekend away in Chichester. Stunning views match the excellent food and customer service.
