“Nestled in the Sussex countryside, this establishment presents a wonderful option for a relaxed getaway near attractions like Glyndebourne Opera House and East Sussex golf courses. I especially appreciate that it's a pet-friendly destination and features a charming afternoon tea served on immaculate lawns amidst beautiful gardens. In my view, it distinguishes itself through its historical significance, being a beautifully preserved Gothic Revival house built in 1850.”

smaller beds recent refurbishment

i must say, the absence of superking beds was a bit of a letdown. i had specifically inquired about a superior suite with a 6ft bed, seeing as the website and other reviews suggested they existed. upon arrival, i learned that a recent refurbishment had replaced them with smaller beds. apparently, luxury now means sleeping in a bed smaller than the one i have at home

underwhelming experience

poor service unavailable manager

The venue was booked for an afternoon event. From 1pm until 6pm. I felt that the manager was too embarrassed to explain why the food service was not up to par. A young waitress delivered the news. this was like a poor showing.
