The hotel clearly needs refreshing it’s tired and a bit scruffy, bathroom in particular. Car park full of huge potholes and large puddles. Staff friendly and helpful. Price reasonable but higher than nicer venues just outside Forest Row.

The room was quite spacious though a bit shabby. There was no one at reception at first but i didnt have to wait long, she was very helpful. Even though there was live music in the bar it didnt disturb me. It was fine for the one night i stayed there.

Good service, clean, great indian restaurant.

Lovely service, they are really trying to do everything well. The room had a bath, great shower, a safe, a fan, decent kettle, the bed was remade every day and all used towels replaced. The restaurant is highly recommended for a curry. Parking is really difficult to make out if you arrive in the dark and the carpark is not in good condition but on street parking worked for my stay.

Overnight stay

The people who we met were all nice however, the service and cleanliness was very poor. The place is very tired and in need of a refurb. But as well there were things left out all over the place, looked untidy and like no one cared. Won’t stay again. And no breakfast offered at all.
