Nice, classic english countryside hotel. Friendly staff and great food in the pub. Extra + for the ample parking behind the hotel. Sidenote: I recommend breakfast at Maria's Café just a two minute walk down the road.

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.

No staff present on arrival, how to track someone down to help us. He asked no security questions, not asked sign anything, just given a key. The corridors were boiling hot and had a horrid smell. Obviously people had been smoking im the hotel. Room was filthy. Bed linen ok, but the cushions and throw were stained and torn. Hair and scum around the bath. Disgusting toilet brush. The door to the joining room was left open.l and room next door not serviced. Paint and wall paper hanging off walls. Generally just dirty and unclean everywhere. Giant holes in the car park. No warnings. This is going to end with damaged cars or injury. We immediately left could not find anyone again to talk to. So went to find alternative accommodation. Such a shame as it could be lovely. The whole area was buzzing, the 2 pubs opposite were full and there was not a single person in pr around this property. I have since tried reaching out and i have heard nothing!!!

No where ahead of arriving at the property were we made aware that there is live music until gone midnight! We booked this for the night before a charity walk which meant we needed to be out at 5am, safe to say the live music going on until after midnight was not expected nor fun! The room was disgusting and dirty.

The hotel appears very dated, and very empty! No food service at all, very few guests it seemed and hardly any staff around. The building and room was very tired, a thick layer of dust on the back of the tv and the bathroom very dated. No restaurant service, and the bar was deserted, infact it was shut when I got back at 9.30pm, and the front door was already locked and no staff around at all. The few staff I did see were very pleasant. The car park was horrendously flooded and very dark so almost impossible to avoid the water, and as the back entrance was locked it was a long dark walk around to the front door. This hotel definitely needs a new lease of life somehow!

5* from A to Z.

5* from A to Z. Friendly professional receptionist. Great attitude, oriented to the customer. Clean rooms and free of oddors. Nice bead and room including the toilet. A little bit cold for my own taste definitely not so cold as to botter me in any way. I guess if I was looking was a thermostat on the radiator. Clean hotel with a large free carpark. (As improvement few lights in the carpark will made a big difference for safety of the customer cars and goods ) . Thank you very much for the acoomodation and I will look into booking this hotel again in the future. PS : A bar is also available in the premises for whomever is interested in having few beers. (Was not my case this time but is good to know).

A short stay but a few observations: - Carpets on the stairs up to the room hadn't been hoovered in a long time - chair in room fell apart on day 2. I'd been sitting at it on day 1. Day 2 I went to pull it out and it fell apart. If I'd sat on it I'd have been injured - thermostat on shower didn't work. It delivered scalding got water only - mixer on shower leaked constantly. Could only hear dripping. They'd attempted to address this by wrapping a towel around the taps to catch the drips. Problem is when I arrived it had clearly been there a few days and was sopping wet so drips hit with a loud thud - kettle was half full with water. No idea how long it had been there. Should have been emptied

Singularly the worst hotel I have ever been to. I remember the Brambletye in its heyday and the photos looked fabulous (they are obviously very old photos) so, when I had to stay locally I booked without looking at Trip Advisor reviews. Never will I make that mistake again. It looks like nothing has been cared for in decades. Worn carpets, tired woodwork and the unpleasant odour of curry and damp everywhere. My introduction to this monstrosity was via their car park where the bang to my car’s shock absorbers as I descended and rose through ridiculously deep pot holes was so bad I thought I’d hit something. When cars are parked both sides of the entrance you cannot see the potholes until you turn into them. I didn’t take pictures of the hotel as, on a hot 24 degree day I got my key, went towards my allocated room, passing radiators on full blast (!) and entered a room that hasn’t been modernised for well over 20 years. I turned round, exited quickly and gave my key back to the one member of staff and said ‘I cannot stay here, it is absolutely awful’ and got a weak reply of ‘I’m sorry’ and I left. It has taken me 3 weeks and many emails to get a full refund via Expedia through whom I booked and who still show a rating of 7.6 out of 10!despite my complaints. Absolutely avoid. Minus 5 star rating!

Turned up at 1.30pm and given the room. The room was dark and dingy even with the lights on. The floor and cupboards were dirty, and didn’t want to risk sleeping in the beds. Also, the corridors stank of vomit. The place was up for sale and it was obvious that no money had been spent on the accommodation or rooms. There was no way weee were stopping there. We left and found found another hotel in the next village.
