There was a golden wedding lunch party on the Saturday I stayed and one couple brought their dog which constantly yapped all afternoon when they left it outside in the garden. It did not make for a very relaxing afternoon reading on the terrace.

The room we wanted was not available and the room we got was very hot and noisy

Fabulous room with lovely view over garden. Excellent meal in the evening - really good cooking and plenty of choice. Lovely little bar and very helpful staff - would definitely stay again!

Lovely rooms with individual character. Excellent, friendly staffy and great breakfast.

Everything was excellent. Staff who expertly served a table of 24, courteous, efficient, polite. Food was amazing. Room was outstanding. All staff were lovely, approachable and helpful. Added bonus was a welcome for breakfast and more delicious food. Absolutely stunning all round

Staff were courteous and helpful in explaining directions. The room was clean and comfortable. A very relaxing stay.

Beautiful building, well appointed rooms, great bathroom. Lovely meal in restaurant and top notch breakkie too. Only complaint would be double bed rather than king

Nice dinner and breakfast. Beautiful atmosphere.

great spacious room, very nice staff, quiet atmosphere

Excellent staff. spotlessly clean and inviting room. Fabulous breakfast and it was lovely to be waited on instead of the usual buffet. In a great setting with an interesting history.

Everything was so good. Wonderful room. Excellent food. Excellent staff

Room great, staff lovely.

Beautiful area, amazing room. Would have preferred an ala carte menu for evening dining.

Lovely property that has been tastefully renovated over the past years. The gardens are beautiful and a lovely place to be on a sunny day. The hotel is small which gives it a very comfortable feel. Service is a little haphazard. Lot of young staff that don’t have the experience to deliver the service you would associated with such a lovely traditional hotel.

This is our go-to lodging when attending the opera at Glyndebourne. A wonderful, country house in Uckfield, set on beautiful, expansive private grounds. Comfortably and exquisitely furnished, it is always a pleasure to arrive and occupy the spacious common rooms and assigned bedrooms. As frequently encountered in England, old properties may lack some modern amenities Americans are used to like air conditioning and convenient USB charging ports. Televisions are dated; rooms do not have clocks. But rooms are spacious and elegant, with large, tall windows, some of which do not open. Our visit in July encountered unusual hot weather the first days of our stay. Our Nevill suite on the first floor (second floor in American parlance), with west-facing windows, reached almost 90 degrees F (32 C), making things unbearable. We located a fan, but it offered minimal respite. The Horsted Restaurant serves in two stylish rooms inside and on a terrace outside; tea is served there, in common rooms and on the terrace. The tiny eponymous bar may have been a former pantry. Or closet. Food is quite good, but service seems understaffed at times. Another shortcoming, servers deliver your food and fail ever to check back for comments or additional requests. Some training may be in order. Staff are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Some staff members’ families have been associated with the property for many years in various capacities. In all, our latest stay was enjoyable and memorable.

Excellent country hotel staff very friendly

Lovely property - breakfast was okay, staff very pleasant.

Nice character. Excellent staff. Excellent food. Small niggle, huge room but tiny bed in the Portsmouth. And croquet lawn looked in need of some love.

We liked the location and quality of this hotel together with its history. We really enjoyed our one night stay which met all our expectations - well done.

effortlessly accomodated a last minute request for a sofa-bed to be made up in the room which was lovely and spacious. late checkin and late checkout also provided
