16. 2 bedroom accommodation in Crowborough

Crowborough

"If you love a peaceful country retreat then this is for you. Wildlife all around. The owner could not be more helpful. Peacocks at the back door herds of dear and flocks of amazing rheas much better than advertised. You do need a car with good clearance for the track through the forest but it's worth it as it all ads to the amazing adventure. Thank you once again to our host Martin who meets guests at the gate to lead you through the forest."

17. Charming Cottage Retreat with Garden in Historic Old Town, Eastbourne

Eastbourne

"Lovely cottage full of character. Lots of thoughtful touches such as shower gel, shampoo and kitchen essentials and the owner responded promptly to all our queries. The garden was an added bonus in the hot weather. Only two minor criticisms - firstly it wasn’t clear from the description that the bathroom (and therefore the only toilet) were on the ground floor. Secondly it wasn’t possible to close the door to the second bedroom as one of the beds is in the way. Overall we enjoyed our brief...

"We instantly felt at home in this holiday house – and so did our dogs! Everything was super clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed - and much more. The fully fenced garden was a big plus, so our dogs could run around freely.There were even bowls, towels, and some treats for the dogs (and also for us)– such a thoughtful touch! The hosts were really friendly, helpful, and always easy to reach. For us, it was a perfect stay and we can recommend this place to anyone looking for a...

Top East Sussex Hotel Reviews

The Chatsworth Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice quiet hotel. Wonderful views. Locality brilliant and can see the band stand and pier. Staff lovely and helpful. Lift brilliant and quirky, beautiful old fashioned building. Breakfast very good. Nice free drink in the bar with wonderful pianist. Go back anytime."

The Lansdowne, Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel is amazing and we had a great view from our window. However, so often it’s about the small details as to whether the stay is amazing or average. We had 2 bad experiences at breakfast. Firstly, we had breakfast included and paid for but my wife wanted a kipper so we paid a £3.00 supplement. However what she got was a small kipper you could buy from a supermarket in a sealed packet rather than a fresh kipper. So disappointing. And then this morning I had to ask twice for English mustard as it wasn’t with the other sauces and eventually turned up once I had finished. Small details make a big difference to my overall experience."

Flackley Ash Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"A lovely hotel, clean rooms, helpful staff, indoor heated pool excellent. Our only disappointment was the evening meals at the restaurant, I couldn’t eat some of mine, my partner’s meal was below expectations. I’d have scored this hotel 5 out of 5 if food had been better."

Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended, especially if you're using it as a central base to explore the High Weald hiking trails and local National Trust properties. The bedrooms are really a story of two parts here. The old wing feels quite dated with older, functional furniture, lacks air conditioning, and tends to get quite hot. The new wing is the exact opposite, much more modern and nicely cooled. Both areas are kept spotless! Just a heads-up if you need a firm bed: the mattresses are extremely soft and tend to dip in the middle. Breakfast covers all the standard items and is perfectly fine, but the highlight is the setting. The views from both the dining room and the bar terrace overlooking the golf course are beautiful, serene, and calming. We also had lunch and dinner at the restaurant. the menu is versatile, well-presented, and really tasty. The staff deserve a special mention, polite, warm, and genuinely doing their best to accommodate requests . The swimming pool is on the smaller side, but it also overlooks the golf course, stays clean, and was never crowded during our stay."

Best Western York House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and extremely clean. The beds were comfortable.Breakfast was excellent, room service for dinner was extremely poor- the food that is.Most of the staff were really friendly. It would have been better if there had been a balcony in the room. Overall very pleased with our stay."
