Stayed for one night with close family to celebrate my birthday. It really couldn't have been more perfect. Great food, great service, stunning house and gardens, playing croquet in the sun, breakfast in the garden... Absolutely super! Lovely walk to the nearby village. A special occasion that was really very special.

Picture this: Secreted away behind imposing gates deep in the heart of the English country side that once was. An extraordinary beautiful ancient English manor house, sensitively restored and converted into a beautiful country house hotel. No expense spared on attention to detail. And surrounded by the most ancient of gardens and woodland. An absolute treasure. Refined, and romantic, sophisticated.... More

Just driving up the long entrance road/drive was a joy, lush with bluebells, trees and rhododendrums. The staff were very helpful, the lovely porter drove mama's wheelchair with gusto up the steepish slope round to the back garden. We sat and had drinks outside, a paradise after the joys of a busy M25 on a Bank Holiday. Two of our... More

My husband and I recently stayed 3 nights at Gravetye and still are singing its praises. We have been visiting the Manor every couple of years since 1976 and have seen it through 3 owners and several staff changes. While it was always lovely and peaceful, it wasn't always perfection. Now it is. Our favorite room, Chestnut, has completed its... More

Two fresh glasses arrived with the wine divided exactly in half. Considering we were not great customers, ie not spending bundles that... More

Gardens were lovely, food was superb and service was brilliant. All staff were so helpful. My husband only likes warm beer, so the barman offered to... More

We stayed here for 3 nights over Easter to celebrate a special Birthday. What a really lovely hotel this is, with quiet spacious rooms situated within a hotel in beautiful grounds. The walled garden is oval, rather than the usual rectangular. The food was perfection, as was the service. Tickets to nearby Wakehurst Place, the country estate of the Royal... More

We went to Gravetye Manor for Sunday Lunch last week and in a word it was amazing from begining to end. A lovely gentleman showed us where to park as they were fully booked for lunch, we were then escorted to reception. A lovely lady took us to a table by the fire for a drink and little canapes which... More

We have stayed at Gravetye quite a few times in the past but not recently. According to reports. ownership changes (including a brief period in Administration) had set back the hotel. Since it was one of our long-standing favourite hotel in the UK, we decided to give it another try. Much to our delight, Gravetye is back better than ever.... More
