Quirky pub with rooms · Ticehurst, Sussex
The Bell at Ticehurst
A village pub with rooms full of wit and invention, plus garden lodges, in the High Weald of Sussex.
Our review
The Bell took the country-pub-with-rooms format and made it genuinely fun. The bar is full of clever, slightly mad detail, the cooking is good, and the rooms and lodges are individually styled.
It suits couples and dog-owners who want character over polish, with the woods and water of the High Weald on the doorstep.
Reasons to stay
- Real character and humour
- Dog-friendly throughout
- Garden lodges for families
- Village setting, you'll want a car
- Quirk is the point, not minimalism
