Spent just one night here in early December, mainly business-related. A wonderful country house style location with stunning rural views. The public areas and our en suite were, as one would expect from this (high) price category, of a very high standard. However, the restaurant was disappointing. Our cutlery wasn't the sharpest and as our table was inclined to wobble,...

Our suite was excellent. The building is superb and the grounds sublime, on the edge of the South Downs. Obviously extended over time but more or less in keeping. But, room and food particularly was overpriced, especially for a 90's type menu. All a bit too oldly worldly, plenty of plush fabrics and open fires. Service is sloppy (both breakfast...

A great venue to hold a business retreat (close to Gatwick, 1 - 1.5 hrs from Heathrow) with good set of room sizes, good office support. Rooms are very large and comfortable, bathrooms are huge with great shower set, mine also had 2 standing baths with TV screen. Good bar, cosy fireplace but some things not up to SLH standard...

My husband and I stayed here for our wedding night. Despite a slight mix up (the suite I had requested was double booked), the room we were allocated was lovely, the bed was huge and very comfortable. The bathroom was awesome, with floor lighting, TV, multi faucet shower and sauna. Another nice touch (and much appreciated) was that the staff...

Having visited this hotel before for a private dining function we booked where we had lunch, but did not stay, I was eager to book a room for the night when we were invited to a friend's wedding at South Lodge.
As I had been to South Lodge before, I had high expectations....and these were naturally again satisfied by the...

We stayed in a beautiful room called Lady Bess. The hotel was actually dealing with a burst pipe when we stayed. The problem was not of the Hotel's causing, but they handled it exceptionally well - providing us with a bottle of champagne and use of the bathroom in another part of the hotel to help ease the inconvenience. Every...

We spent a week-end there in a junior suite. Fair to say the room was nice and the bathroom simply amazing (built-in sauna). We had dinner at the Camellia ; food was nice and service ok. Overall a great experience but with the additional aisle they have built to complement the historical country house it has became a kind of...
