adequate stay near the south downs

good food quiet room low sides angled ceiling
i found the room very close to a pub, and that pub had really good food. the room was also quiet, and it was very close to the beach.
i noticed we were quite frankly disappointed, but we made the best of the situation. i found it hard to stand up without banging my head especially on the toilet, and i'm only 5'4!!!
