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

Very disappointing hotel; a one night stay in November cost £195. When booking, I requested a room on the Ground Floor, as I had three heavy bags with me. This was allocated to me. However, when I was shown to the room, there was an internal flight of stairs, just to get to the room! Eventually, I was given another room, on the upper floor, but the lift was not working. No discount offered. Room not soundproofed; no fruit or yoghurt at breakfast; closet door did not close properly. Highly inaccessible throughout.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely and the views over the garden were beautiful. We walked around the grounds which were extensive and felt like a different world. Breakfast was good.

Property was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and professional. Very relaxing stay. Would recommend.

Excellent service throughout stay.

Delightful Victorian building with chic modern furnishings. We woke up to see wild deer in the grounds! Staff were all helpful and pleasant. Bed was large and comfortable. A very enjoyable stay.

Light and airy room, excellent linen and very comfortable bed. Lovely decor and beautiful gardens. Most convenient for Glyndebourne, just sorry didn’t have more time to enjoy our stay.

Lovely stay

This property is an historic gem and reasonably priced. Generous room, best breakfast and relaxing lounge. Staff a little lacking.

This is a hotel which really lives up to it's high rating. The staff and service were super, the food was great, our room was comfortable and warm. Nothing was too much trouble. If only every hotel was this good!

Very pleasant and quiet location. Service and food are excellent, and its very cosy on a cold winters night.

This is a lovely building with an interesting history. The staff are very helpful, the food is good and there is a lovely, peaceful lounge which is so nice we invited friends over for coffee.

Good condition building full of charm and historic detail.
