As a female travelling alone, I found the overall experience to be somewhat scary. I was the only guest the night I stayed, and was disturbed to find that I appeared to be completely alone in the building overnight. By 11 p.m., the place was dark, silent and locked up. It was difficult to find the light switches in the... More

Being from Canada, we have thoroughly enjoyed the pub experience over the past two months of our tour of England. The Best Beech Inn has to be at the top of our list. Firstly, when we found ourselves lost and unable to find our accommodation, a gentleman at the bar kindly showed us how to get to our bed and... More

Having booked a table for 5 adults mid week for tonight (Saturday) we were all excited at heading out as a family for dinner and drinks. Upon arrival it took a while waiting at the bar until we were shown to our table. We were not asked if we wished to order drinks nor given a menu to view. Upon... More

I visited the Best Beech on the recommendation of the greengrocer in Wadhurst as the best pub for lunch in the area and he wasn't wrong. The car park was virtually full which was a good sign and the pub and restaurant was full of locals and we received a warm welcome from the landlord. The service was friendly and... More

We chose to stay two nights here because we were going to a Christmas Wedding in Sussex.

Arrived at 7pm and ordered a drink before booking in and were welcomed so warmly by the landlord. This set the tone for the 3 nights we stayed! We were treated like family and they couldn't do enough for us. We only ate in the evening once there but the food was lovely, the menu suited all tastes and very... More

I can only imagine that other reviewers are friends or family of the owner. Their opinions do not match those of myself and my wife in any way. We booked and paid two months in advance for a three night stay, and were met by a lady who showed us to a dilapidated room at the back of the premises... More

The new team make you feel very welcome. They have got a bit of work to do to bring the decor up to scratch but they more than made up for that with the warmth of the welcome and the great breakfast! The food is locally sourced and the thick cut bacon was some of the best we haveever tasted.... More

We stayed at the Best Beech following a family party in Lamberhurst in August. We looked to stay closer but were noot disappointed at all with this wonderful find. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and we booked a family room and were actually given two adjoining rooms. The rooms were clean and spacious and... More
