Cleo

A big bowl of water arrives unasked, and one is always ready. The beard approves.

Bonnie

Jerk cooking, pub classics and the Downs outside the door. I'll do the Downs first, then follow the smell.

The pawrents

A country pub at Offham, with the South Downs starting at the door. Dogs are welcome in the pub and the restaurant, not the bedrooms, and a water bowl is always ready. Pub classics and a jerk menu, and both are worth ordering.
