Absolutely beautiful place with stunning views and amazing architecture. Breakfast is brilliant- huge variety of cooked (to order) food as well as continental buffet. Staff are helpful and friendly. Only cons are 1) location - be prepared for the narrow country lanes!! But seriously you may struggle to get phone service, food delivery and nearest taxi will be 20 mins away 2) no aircon - we went in September so not really an issue but can imagine this to be a problem in summer. 3) Room service - no menu, limited availability and takes ages However these weren’t huge issues annd overall we really enjoyed our stay and found our way around the limited issues mentioned above. Would definitely stay again.

Exceeded our expectations.

From the moment we arrived all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was of a good size, lovely views and very clean. We had an evening meal in the dining room, which was of excellent quality. The ambience in the restaurant was lovely. We were not disappointed, in fact Hotel and staff exceeded our expectations. The grounds, including the country club, it’s worth walking around. The Ashdown Forest is a very beautiful setting , lots of walks.

Nice experience overall but extremely disappointed that though we called ahead to mention that we were celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary, nothing at all was done to make the experience any more special. If you're booking for a special occasion, you may wish to look elsewhere, sadly!
