We are also an official South Downs Visitor Centre, providing comprehensive information on the surrounding area, and offer cycle repair facilities on site.

The ground floor of the Blue Bell will be fully wheelchair accessible and disabled friendly with refitted disabled access toilets and ramps between all areas. However guest accommodation is not accessible for wheelchair users as guests will need to be able to climb stairs.
The Blue Bell welcomes four legged friends of all sizes from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. Water bowls and complimentary biscuits will be on offer for your canine companions.
Dogs must be on a lead and under control at all times, preferably with the owner on the other end.
Sadly we can not accommodate pets in our bedrooms.
Walkers and cyclists enjoying the South Downs National Park sometimes need a bit of help – a top-up for water bottles, a safe place to lock up your bike, or a friendly pub that will tolerate a bit of mud. Welcome to the Blue Bell at Cocking.
Enjoy our FREE FTTP Wi-Fi, perfect for those who want to get away from the office for an informal meeting and enjoy a coffee or even a tasty beer.
You can even connect your device to our FREE USB charging points
