“Nestled in a picturesque Sussex village, this historic house impressed me with its blend of charm and modern updates. The AA Rosette-awarded dining and extensive gardens create a serene environment, though some service hiccups seem to be part of the recent reopening's growing pains. Overall, it seems like a delightful retreat with a few kinks to iron out.”
