ホーリー ハウス

A very pleasant stay. Very friendly hostess who provided the most fantastic breakfasts and made our stay a real pleasure. Set in a beautiful garden Holly house is very conveniently situated close to the Ashdown Forest for walks and a huge variety of interesting properties to visit. Highly recommended.

Our stay was very pleasant. Our room was comfortable and very private. It even had a small private garden room attached. It is worth mentioning that the room temperature was very acceptable despite the heatwave at the time. The main garden, to which we were given full access was enormous and very beautiful with lots of different “rooms”. We understood from our host that it was an NGS garden and we could clearly see why. Our host was welcoming and provided delicious breakfasts at a time to suit us. The only puzzle was the workings of the rather small tv in our room. This could use an upgrade.

I loved the fact it was a cottage ! Loved the little porta hole in our bedroom and cute open cupboard with a curtain .. very rustic feel! The huge garden was beautiful and our host Andee was very helpful , she gave us tips about restaurants nearby and places to sightsee locally. Overall a lovely weekend getaway !!

We have just returned home from a 3 night stay in Holly House - a real home from home. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and will recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in the area. The property is beautiful and the garden stunning, and it is well positioned to travel in all directions to whatever activities anyone will want to do. Many historical properties are within easy reach, as is both beautiful countryside and the Sussex coast.

Didnt have breakfast left too early lovely host offered a packed breakfast instead very accommodating very clean property beautiful gardens very peaceful & relaxing

What pool.

Here’s a tightened version under 1,500 characters while keeping the key points and balanced tone: ⸻ We stayed at Holly House in Beaconsfield for a short break with our dog. There were some positives, but also several areas that could be improved. On the plus side, the property is genuinely dog-friendly, which we really appreciated. Our dog was able to roam freely, making the stay more relaxed. Breakfast itself was lovely, and the owner shared helpful local tips, including recommending the Red Lion pub about 10 minutes away, which we enjoyed. However, the experience felt more like staying in a private home than a traditional B&B or hotel, which may not suit everyone. The décor is dated (“nan’s house” style) with a musty smell throughout. While generally clean, it wasn’t to hotel/B&B standard, with cobwebs behind furniture and skirting boards not fully clean. The room wasn’t made daily. Practical issues included no coat hooks, limited bedside plug sockets, a small travel kettle with minimal tea/coffee, no fridge, and a very small, tablet-sized TV. Temperature control was difficult: there’s no room thermostat and heating only seemed to be on when the owner was home. We returned from a December dog walk to a freezing room and had to shower to warm up. The breakfast room was also cold. WiFi was very poor and network details weren’t explained. There were maintenance and access concerns: the door key often stuck, we couldn’t contact the owner on arrival, and no name or contact

Clean room and en suite, lovely breakfast and an attentive and very sociable host. I highly recommend Holly House.

Fabulous stay with Dee our host. First class breakfast, a real home from home.

Dee was so lovely and accommodating. She gave us great advice and recommendations. She was very kind.

absolutely charming b&b

Wonderful location, very nice accommodation, great breakfast

Great stay our dog loved there was woods near by ! The food was lovely and a good choice Our host was very kind and the place was clean and had lovely grounds

Small B&B run by Dee who is absolutely wonderful and works non-stop to make your stay a pleasurable one. The breakfast is excellent and the garden is beautiful with many different areas to discover as you explore.

Lovely host. Room great, food great and the dogs loved the garden

Great small B&B with an excellent host. The room was very comfortable and clean with a good en suite shower room. The extensive garden is absolutely stunning. The breakfast was really good.

A great B&B! Lovely cottage in the Ashdown Forest, pretty, clean room with ensuite and good choices available at breakfast.

We had an amazing stay at the Holly House! Ms. Birchell was a delightful host and it is clear she put a lot of love into this place! Her Garden is absolutely stunning too!

Dee is a lovely lady and hostess food was great.

After a long drive down from Co Durham we were welcomed warmly by Dee with tea and cake.My husband doesnt drink tea or coffee so was offered elderflower cordial which he said was the best he's ever had, it may well have spoiled him for any other now. We had a lovely chat with Dee about gardens, local places to visit etc and then shown to our room. We had the en suite double overlooking the garden. The bed was extremely comfortable. There was ample storage. The shower was excellent, the bathroom was very up to date. The breakfast the next and following days were spot on. Plenty of choice, all well cooked and more toast and tea was offered. The wifi is good also Behind the house is a vast garden. It doesnt look huge because of its thoughtful layout, but it just keeps going. The garden features in an open garden event in August and we were chuffed to get a look in before the crowds. We are now trying to come up with reasons to re visit. We will be back. Thank you Dee for a lovely stay.
