Great set up for the luxury rooms
Lovely place to stay and eat. We stayed in one of the luxury rooms and it was worth the extra. Really lovely individual patio with very nice garden furniture, umbrella and plants overlooking the Downs. Bed was comfy. We ate dinner in the restaurant, suggest you check the online menu to see the current offering. Enjoyed the steak and the chicken supreme. The online photo shows the back of the restaurant and pub and the luxury patio rooms are in the building to the left of the photo. The front of the pub is on a fairly busy road. There is plenty of parking. I thought at first that there might be a lot of traffic noise, but the rooms at the back were fairly quiet. Note that there are no staff on site overnight but an emergency phone number was provided.

Excellent Country Inn, but late starting breakfast
The Welldiggers Arms is a characterful country inn with excellent food, a good range of beers and wines and friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are compact but very well appointed and comfortable. Just one point lets it down: breakfast is not served before 8.30 a.m. which, for anyone having to make a prompt start to the day, is quite a bit too late. The Welldiggers packed us up a couple of croissants/pain au chocolat instead, but of course that's never going to replace the enjoyment of a full breakfast. If breakfast were available from, say, 7.30 a.m. onwards, this would merit 5 stars, and I'd strongly encourage the Welldiggers to try to fix this omission, because it's all that lets an otherwise superb country inn down.

We had a lovely time at the welldiggers. The room was stunning and the view from the restaurant was amazing. The manager and manageress were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Ideal situation for visiting the coast, the living museum, castles and stately homes. We would definitely recommend the welldiggers (in fact my daughter is looking to book on September.)
