Stunning location, short walk from the train station, friendly attentive staff, lovely spacious room and wet room. Was even able to get a decent sized breakfast moments before they packed up.
Nothing to note.

It's far from town unless you have own transport. It's a great accommodation.

the old farm redevelopment as a modern hostel was very successful. i appreciated the full service restaurant at the site.
I came by bicycle from Lewes. I used the bike and walking path along the river, which was challenging at points, and ended up on the very busy narrow highway at 5 pm - didn't feel safe. Can the Hostel Ass'n do more to promote an effective bike path to the facility? Also, there wasn't ready information on bicycle routes in the area - was there an alternative to the route I found on google? I don't believe I got much help from the YHA website. The smaller quiet lounge was closed off / locked off when I was there. As a solo traveller, that might have been nice to have access to.

Grounds and staff excellent
Sleeping pods could have been nicer have slept in others that were much nicer
