The Dyke House Hotel was owned by William & Mary Thacker who took frequent adverts in the local papers. Typical was that of May 1849 in the Brighton Gazette, where William Thacker wrote:
‘In no part of England can a spot be found which shall excel the summit of the Dyke Hill, from whence a view is obtained of scenery the most enchanting . . . the spectator being able to distinguish . . . six counties’.
