Rooms include private bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and hairdryers, with options ranging from doubles to family accommodations. Chef Nik Cobley prepares a varied menu using fresh seasonal produce, including locally sourced meat, fish from Newhaven, and daily specials. The bar serves real ales, fine wines, and cocktails, while the sunny garden provides a relaxed outdoor space. Guests can play billiards, table tennis, or darts, and an outdoor tennis court is available. Haywards Heath station, a short distance away, offers direct trains to London in under an hour, and Gatwick Airport is 22 km from The Wheatsheaf Inn. Nearby attractions include Hickstead Showjumping, Wakehurst Place, and Glyndebourne Opera House.
