Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers large, modern, clean, and warm rooms where tea is served in a huge Drawing room. The location overlooks superb manicured gardens with easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience, although 1st class, may lack some variety at times.
The hotel offers spacious and elegantly furnished rooms with a large modern bathroom. They were amazing, spotlessly clean, and so warm and comfortable, providing lovely views. However, access to the rooms required ascending a flight of stairs after entering through the ground floor door above the courtyard.
The hotel offers amazing rooms that are spotlessly clean and so warm and comfortable with lovely views. The service is excellent with friendly staff, and the most splendid surroundings. The location is superb, with lovely atmosphere for afternoon tea and very close to Glyndebourne. The dining experience is excellent, though fresh fruit options could be improved. Overall, a great value for money stay.
