10/10 Exceptional

Amazing food and alcohol selection. Some of the best Jamaican food I have had in ages! There are more tame options but well worth trying the homemade food as it's clear they put the effort in

Has free car park, but on dangerous bendy main road, tough to navigate in the dark. Friendly welcome. Clean room. Food made there. but beware too much chilli.

This is a basic B&B with a pub and some optional food. Fine for a one night stay.

Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All good and excellent for a 1 night stay following a local wedding reception. Breakfast was very good although I would have preferred a 9 - 10 breakfast on a Sunday morning rather than an 8 - 9

The property was clean, plenty of hot water and good quality towels. Jazz was extremely helpful and obliging and always smiling. We had a very good stay. Thank you Jazz!
Brenda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the towels and bedding and chill pub atmosphere and delish Jamaican dishes. Thought it would be a bit more walkable to Lewes and could be a bit noisy with traffic at night! I would advise earplugs. Great spot if you’re comfortable with a chill and casual vibe and are not expecting hotel like treatment
Theresa, 1-night trip

Lovely stay
Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast despite being an early one. Only thing to make it better would be a bigger bed.

A really nice overnight stay at The Blacksmiths Arms. We received a friendly welcome and was shown to our room. Bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was lovely and clean with the whitest fluffiest towels! Breakfast was amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Alex, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was a great find—a true gem. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and quiet. The food was delicious, featuring a Jamaican-inspired menu crafted by the wonderful hosts, Jazz and Drixie, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The rum punch was delightful, and the breakfast included one of the best English breakfasts we've ever tasted. It's definitely worth a visit, if not for an overnight stay, then at least to dine at the restaurant. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more memorable.
