Just returned home after having a very pleasant 'afternoon tea'. We felt the need to express our thanks to the staff who looked after us and who made it a very warm and pleasant experience. A good choice of sandwiches coupled with victoria sponge, strawberry meringues, chocolate eclairs and jam and cream scone all washed down with a nice pot... More

Another party evening, this time at the Hickstead Hotel, and not too far from home for a change. Hotels seems a reasonable place - staff are very good and attentive. Food and entertainment were first class, although the room was not very full (about 30 persons I guess in total). Rooms are basic but OK - adequate for the price.... More

This is a fantastic hotel - and you should find an excuse to stay here. In order of growing 'impressiveness':- 1. The restaurant and bar are pleasant and well furnished. There seems to be a few locals that dine in the restaurant as well as the guests - which is always a good sign. Both had a good buzz without... More

It's not glamourous, no comfy lounge, lighting too bright. But the team work very hard to keep guests happy and looked after. Hassan and Patricia work long hours and very hard, always with a smile. £99 room, dinner (inc wine) and breakfast - a bargain. More

Situated just off the A23, it was near where we wanted to be. Far enough away from the main roads to be quiet enough to hear the quacking ducks in the nearby pond. Rooms were a decent size; we had the double + single family room with a rear facing aspect. No aircon but the window was sufficient and quiet... More

We stayed here for one night, the room was very clean and comfortable, the only problem we found was insufficient lighting- perhaps a little too ambient!! We had dinner in the restaurant and it was fabulous! three courses and not one complaint and possibly the best shortbread we have tasted!. Breakfast was just as good, plenty on the plate and... More

We stayed at The Hickstead for 2 nights (Sat-Sun) in August. We got a great deal through Classic Lodges which got us a free three course dinner in the on-site restaurant and a choice of either cream tea or a bottle of wine. We chose the cream tea. Our second night was just bed and breakfast but that was also... More
