In the centre of Cocking village, immediately below the South Downs Way, and now owned by the local community, the Blue Bell at Cocking is a welcoming free house, serving fresh local produce and a choice of local ales, and excellent coffee. We have a garden with Downs views and are dog friendly in our public areas.
We are also an official South Downs Information Point, providing comprehensive information on the surrounding area, and offer cycle repair facilities on site. The Blue Bell has three lovely rooms available for bed and breakfast accommodation. They all have newly refurbished en-suite bathrooms and are a mix of double and twin rooms.

Walks
Report
In the heart of the South Downs National Park, just off the South Downs Way, the Blue Bell at Cocking is the perfect place to begin a walk or bike ride. The landscape of green rolling pastures, wide open spaces and ancient woodlands features many bridleways and cycle paths, and the area is perfect for walking (with or without a canine friend), there are options to suit all abilities.

Our Timeline
Report
The Blue Bell is a community-run village pub, restaurant, caf with bed and breakfast accommodation in Cocking, West Sussex. The Bluebell, as it was then called, was put up for sale, the previous tenant surrendering the lease to move on to pastures new. A sad time for the locals that used the Bluebell as the pub closed its doors for the last time.
Our Supporters
Report
From the very start the BBCH has had tremendous support from a wide variety of organisations both local and national. We owe them a great debt of gratitude as without them this project would never have seen the light of day. The support has come in the form of initial advice, planning, regulatory set up, grant, loans and moral support.
