I only had a bed for the night, which was fine and comfortable. Room was a bit tatty and could do with a bit of loving care, but it was perfectly clean. Light wasn’t working in bathroom and ceiling was badly flaking. Light fixtures were broken in the bedroom and generally looked a bit dated and not well maintained. I did not have food, but the Goat is affiliated to it and the the breakfast looked to be good from reading the menu.
I truly enjoyed my three nights stay at The Gothic House. It is lovely and dainty, clean with comfortable bed/pillows. Unlike one review I read, I did not experience any in-shower hot water issues after I inquired about it.
Generally a good experience, nice room etc.
Only criticism was finding it. A single door but entrance on the street but reception via the bar next door makes access confusing and difficult to spot from the road as you arrive in the car. There is no parking so it’s important to be able to see the place from the road before looking for parking that is close by.
Perfect location for E Grinstead - right in the centre of town but set back off the road so not at all noisy. Rooms are cosy, clean, comfortable and well fitted out. Vastly preferable to a chain hotel. Highly recommended.
Lovely and friendly staff, restaurant and bar recently refurbished and tastefully done and all felt very warm and accommodating. The accommodation facilities are quaint and charming and set in the period with beautiful facilities. Really enjoyed our stay and thank you so much to all for making it so
The building is about 500 yrs old so if you arelooking for a modern room look elsewhere also if you are a large person try another property it is a room above a pub. Very clean, comfy bed great tv and wifi service i loved ot and would return

Not as described.
The room was nice enough but it is just a room – this is not a B&B or guest house. There is no house keeping, restaurant or bar as described, no breakfast options and no reception. It is right in the town centre though.

Not serving breakfast served until 10 am is the same as not serving breakfast at all
