What John Cowell doesn't like about The Ardingly Inn:
We booked on their website expecting to find the comfortable and friendly accommodation the site promised. They confirmed our booking by email but said nothing about a live band playing a few metres from our room until 11pm nor that a noisy group of people would then shout even closer to us until 11.45pm. Having asked if we would be dining we entered a totally empty restaurant to be served one of the worst meals we h... View all feedback. What User likes about The Ardingly Inn:
So I actually went to the ardingly caffe and here I was served the beautiful, tasty dish, avacardo smash with rührei, instead of a poached egg as I don't like it especially. this was no problem again, since I had actually substituted with a fried egg before the fried eggs! I and my partner were actually late, since cooked service had set to 2.15, we had arrived at 2.30, were nevertheless warmly welcomed and quickly s... View all feedback.

A recent visit to the Ardingly Inn left much to be desired for some guests. Expecting comfortable and friendly accommodation, they were instead disturbed by a live band playing right outside their room until late. The following meal at an empty restaurant was deemed one of the worst ever experienced. On a positive note, cleanliness was maintained and sincere apologies were offered by the staff. Other guests found their stay satisfactory, with clean rooms, friendly staff, and good value for money. The food, however, received mixed reviews, ranging from disappointing to delicious. Overall, it seems like the Ardingly Inn may have some room for improvement.

Emma the Chef is excellent. The food is delicious and caters well to dietary restrictions. My favorite dish was the pizza.
