Worthing Road, Dial Post. Hard to believe that the A24 used to thunder through this village until the 1980s. Now all is quiet and serene. Dial Post is a hamlet within the parish of West Grinstead and grew in size from the eighteenth century onwards. The in is The Crown.

8.4/10 Very Good! (36 reviews)
My only observations would that there was a lot of furniture in the room which seemed unnecessary and made it rather cramped. Also, there were no sachets of instant coffee which would have been my preference.
