Morleys Bistro | By Huluki Sussex Stays

Warm welcome. Great place to stay and eat.

To have a proper breakfast, continental as well as English breakfast would be a plus. To be included with the stay. Breakfast hours should also be from 7-10 as it may interfere with either work or daily planning. Also to have contact directly with the property outside the normal work hours as I hadn’t received a code for my door or how to enter. Toilets are also a little weak to flush….

Lovely quiet village, ideal location near London and Brighton. We enjoyed the bistro below for a few drinks ( we would recommend booking a table prior if you want to order food) , we also visited the new Inn up the road which was homely and friendly

the room was very nice and so was the bathroom. The bed mattress was comfortable pillows were okay. The issue was the boiler noise and noise from the road which meant my sleep was not great. I would stay again but I would bring ear plugs

I was disappointed with the handling

Always use Morleys when visiting Hurstpierpoint. It's really good value for money and very comfortable.

Excellent Bistro

Good, friendly bistro downstairs - book ahead

Very much enjoyed our one night stay last weekend. Easy access and good communication when I did not receive the initial instructions to get me sorted. Spacious room, lovely decor, in great condition and clean. Liked the toiletries and liked the included orange juice and porridge pots. Also very much enjoyed the cafe just a few steps away after checking out. Our room was over the front of the bistro so there was some noise from the busy Saturday night bistro below, but it was quite around 11 so not a problem at all. Good elec shower, but could not get any hot water at sink in the morning (didn’t matter too much as had a shower for hot water, but did seem strange as all worked well the evening before).

We were sent information about how to access the property and this was straight forward. Access to the room was via 3 sets of fairly steep stairs. The room was bright and clean but small. Could have done with a king size bed rather than a double. The toilet did not flush properly so took several goes. The paintwork in the communal hall was tired! We saw that breakfast was available but did not realise it started at 10 am during the week and 9am weekends. We went to a café nearby. In general it was quiet and a reasonable place to stay.

Couldn’t rate the staff as we didn’t see any. Self check in was good apart from the main front door being so stiff, especially from the inside to get out on the first day. Sunday night was a quiet stay so maybe there weren’t many in.The Monday night was an awful stay at night because the room above was occupied and we heard every single step they made, every toilet break, when the shower went on and every time a door shut, it just slammed. They weren’t being loud, it’s just you hear everything, thin walls and floors from an old building I guess, so the top floor is better to stay on I’d say. Nowhere in the walking area for food on the Sunday evening. Apart from porridge pots in the rooms there are no breakfast facilities until 10.00am. The bathroom is lovely. It’s warm but the toilet needed a good bleach. The toilet itself was clean but the stand and surrounding floor of the toilet needs a good clean, it smelled of urine. The bedroom carpet needs a good clean too. Quaint little room, clean sheets and clean towels and good provision of tea and coffee facilities. My daughter stayed on the day bed and I had the double bed, so plenty of room in the triple room for the two of us. Nice touch with the chairs overlooking the little garden opposite. Good tv access but the wifi needs a boost, it kept cutting out. It’s was a good stay for the price you pay. One suggestion because there are no food facilities after 4pm Sundays or early breakfast, a mini fridge would help.

I would like to see some other breakfast options like Croissants rather than just porridge. Also a bigger TV would also be a nice to have if possible.

We have stayed here before - but would never stay again. We arrived on the friday late p.m. and were given a code for the main door and room door. The room was not a double bed but 2 singles. The bathroom was TINY! My partner could hardly fit in the shower - which incidentally ran hot and cold! Only one person could use the bathroom at a time. Tried to make a reservation for dinner that night but there were no vacancies so booked another venue in the village. Would also have liked to have dinner there on the sunday and monday nights but the restaurant was closed both evenings! Our stay was topped off by the electricity in our room shuttiing off this morning (monday) whilst I was in the tiny shower which, of course, stopped mid shower! We tried to contact the rental agent and the owner, neither of whom were available to help. So we left without having had a hot drink, without being able to rinse off or dry my hair, without my partner able to shower. AWFUL....JUST AWFUL

I love this place !!! special thanks to Oli for driving me to Hassocks station. Getting a taxi can be a challenge in hassocks so this was a lifesaver. Thank you for being amazing all of you.

Only problem I had was the key code to access ground floor door, slight delay between keying in numbers and door release perhaps?

All good

If you check my other reviews, i rarley give poor feed back. Every room has it quirks. But the shower in the room left with me a slight scolding. Its almost dangerous. Turning from blisteringly hot to sudden cold. No dials touched at all. I probably wouldnt have even mentioned it, but then i recieved a phone call with no explanation that basically went "Hi, im from, where did you park your car last night?" In a slightly accusatory tone - i had to ask the reason why, there was no context given previously. We'd checked out almost an hour previous. It was clean. Dog in other room barked and whined at the slightest noise. Thin Walls. Sqeeky bed frames.

We stayed for an overnight as my son was visiting a nearby school. Sadly, didnt get to meet anyone from Morley's or try the food. The restaurant is closed on Sunday evenings and Mondays. I used the library for a bit which closed at 1 pm and then drove to Burgess Hill to a lunch venue as not much in Hurstpierpoint. Its a great place to lay your head and clean. They need to give to teaspoons with the breakfast bits. Probably an oversight.

I think Morleys is decent value and there is only thing I can mark them down on is the lack of available breakfast

Great experience Clean and Tidy
