Very friendly, accommodating staff. More than adequate parking. Room was clean. But generally the state of the decor, furniture and carpets was “tired”. Situated in an ideal spot to explore Ashdown Forest.

A lovely country pub hotel

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I couldnt fault them. The hotel is a bit of a rabbit warren to find the room but still full of charm. Will be back

Pleasant but needs updating in places

Upon check-in we were asked if we wanted breakfast unfortunately breakfast was only served till 9 am both myself and my daughter have chronic fatigue and health issues therefore early mornings are not great for us maybe if it had been offered a little later it may have been something we would have taken however, breakfast was not an issue so it wasn’t a problem. I did say that on a lot of bookings for this hotel it states breakfast is free. I was met with quite a firm not at this hotel ! It is £12.50 per person, which I thought the answer was a little rude given it clearly states on many platforms as free breakfast there was no issue as we were not requiring breakfast but I do feel that maybe for some this could be a little confusing and therefore should be addressed with various companies offering this hotel for booking. Like many hotels after Covid a lot of needed money spent and it has not been widely available. I do feel that although this hotel was pleasant it does need and requires some updating. I feel that although they tried to keep it clean and tidy carpet especially need to be replaced they are very worn in places. Our hotel room was a twin room. It was clean tidy in most places could also do with a little updating wardrobe. Door was broken. Bathroom was okay clean but also needs updating. We’ve paid £70 for the room so not the cheapest but also by far not the most expensive middle of the rangeI think one night in this hotel is sufficient

Comfortable and enjoyable stay with excellent food and drinks. The premises were in need of some cleaning and repairs as the hotel looked a bit tired and somewhat neglected. Staff were professional and attentive throughout.

It was ok

Staff was very attentive to our needs. We only ate breakfast there; it was very good. Our room was clean. However, the room was terribly out of date. There were stains on our carpet (carpet needs removed completely). The room was musty. And being a bit warm, it was difficult to air out and cool the room at night as leaving the windows open let in bugs. I would probably stay again given the location and price but I would look very hard elsewhere first.

It is a tired hotel which needs some investment in the rooms. It is fine for a night if you are going to Gatwick airport but probably not for a holiday stay.

Good but not great.

The stay was fine. With good service, I found the room quite hot which meant I had to open the window which let in the traffic noise.

Could do with some TLC

The staff were friendly and efficient but the overall impression is that the whole place could do with a major refurb, especially in the guest areas. Worn carpets on stairs, peeling paintwork, etc. Room overall comfortable but a socket close to the bed would have been appreciated. Appeared to have been recently, but badly, wallpapered and brand new curtains but overall shabby. Bathroom poorly planned, e.g. toilet lid could not be fully opened, shampoo/body wash attached to wall at a height that was ok for shower but impossible to reach if having a bath. Glad I took my own soap. As weather was warm some of the corridor windows were open and cigarette smoke was seeping inside from garden areas. Noticed a fire door wedged open which was a safety concern
