Derek
Loo wasn't bolted down/ stable, sink cracked, lots of cobwebs, not great but not disasterous either.
Richard
Checked in at the pub. Very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was excellent with many pubs, restaurants, and shopping nearby.
Michelle
Lovely room, very traditional.
Kevin
AVOID - WONT BE BACK
Arrived and the guy kept telling all about his pest guy shoots and kills wildlife and this was so weird and inappropriate.
Then the bathroom ceiling is full of mould, not like a little bit but lots so much so anyone with any breathing issues please don't stay here it's not worth the risk!

I often stay here when I'm working in the area. Rooms are always clean, staff are lovely, great location with lovely views over the church yard
Vivienne
Well located to shops, restaurants, bus, and walking distance to the train station, but room was pretty basic. Many eateries in the area which serve when the in house catering is closed (open 10:00-3:00). Building is old, so not surprised by some minor plumbing issues. Staff friendly and helpful.
Robert
The bed was one of the best I’ve ever had in a hotel
A
Lovely place and the host is very attentive.
Gavin
Great hotel with excellent staff and delicious food.
Gavin
Excellent hotel! Really nice stuff great location and the takeaway is delicious.
Sarah
The room is compact and basic. There is a door in the floor below that is constantly open and shut through the evening and started again at 5.30am this causes the building infrastructure and bed to vibrate and make a noise similar to weights being drops from a height! Very hard to sleep! Great location and ok for a 1 night. Goat kitchen adjacent for bar drinks and food in the town. Use church carpark for parking free 8pm to 8am so you need to buy a ticket AM if hanging around simple easy walk to get to and fro.
Moira
Loved the gothic church outside my window.
John
Okay but needs updating.
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.
Mike
New find
It was a surprise-a really good experience, close to work, definitely stay again!
Dean
Quick and easy check in. Good breakfast at additional cost. Deco needs updating and refresh
CORAZON
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.
Neil
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.

David
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.
Patricia
Exceeded expectations. Wonderful place.
A
The host goes out of his way to make your stay perfect.
Barbara
Lovely visit to East Grinstead
Our room was charming and functional. Our host took great care of is.
Paul
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
Martin
Everything was lovely.
Judith
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
Andrew
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.
C
Not worth £100
Not serving breakfast served until 10 am is the same as not serving breakfast at all
This is not B&B it is just B

ANTHONY
Great room
Excellent, spacious and well equipped room with a huge bathroom. Very comfortable.
James
Great place right in town and best deal around
Philip
Attractive part of town. Pretty quiet despite town centre location.
Henry
Great location. Connected to popular pub.
HELEN
Comfortable and quiet
Comfortable and quiet room. TV was a bit complicated for someone not very tech savvy . Clear glass window in the bathroom was unexpected but there was a blind to pull down. It was my second stay here and I would come again.
Lorraine
Great find
Ticked all the boxes, in town, clean and friendly staff.
Alan
No facilities open and no staff available in case of problems was disappointed booked for my mum and she didn't stay second night as felt unsafe as nobody in building

Fantastic! Highly recommend
Sally
Staff were helpful and friendly! We only stayed one night so can't judge the area around the hotel. Isn't close to a train station, otherwise it was a great place to stay!
Timothy

Emily
very nice stay
Very nice room in the centre of east grinstead, with lots of climbing around and friendly hosts! didn't get a chance to use the cafe beneath but the reviews are very good.
Verified traveler
Room is clean but small with very small en-suite. There is no option for breakfast on site, no milk was provided to make use of tea facilities in the room. Apart from check in at cafe on arrival there was no staff about at all.
Robert J
Lovely room - poor service
Lovely rooms. A bit light for sleeping (when you come from the pitch-dark countryside :-)) but a lovely old building. Hotel ruined it by giving our room key to the next occupants, who came in at 8:45am - then proceeded to return and put all their stuff in in our absence while we stepped out for coffee pre-checking out! Then the hotel gave the next guest our email address because we complained about the intrusion - they then started to email us unhappy that we had complained!! Such a shame. Lovely place.
Susan
A charming historic building. Lovely staff and a delightful and shiny clean room. Highly recommended

NO heat in December!
The entire floor had NO heat - thankfully, we were only booked for 1 night. The staff eventually (after 4 mentions from us that it STILL wasn't warm) brought us a space heater to get through the night.
The room is quite tiny, but acceptable for the price and location (in the heart of town), but the mattress - lumpy and not very comfortable at all.
We kept mentioning to the staff that the room was frigid (seemed like it was in the low 50s) and they kept replying \"we turned up the thermostat for your floor\". Ultimately, the owner appeared, though he didn't acknowledge our presence, and determined they actually did have a problem - the entire floor was not receiving any heat at all from their system.
The staff apologized, refunded half the room fee and we left the next morning.

Fantastic!
Very welcoming staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Family run business includes the cafe bar downstairs which serves good value evening meals. Quirky room with original features. Very comfortable with little extras such as fresh milk in fridge in hallway. Centrally located in centre of town but my room was still quiet and relaxing. Will definitely return - a little gem!
David
Nice hotel in brilliant location
Lovely hotel, and location. Great staff, and brilliant bar/cafe
Katherine
Lovely hotel & bar
We booked this hotel as its only a 10 drive from Lingfield race track, however we didn't count on the lack of taxis in the area whom would not take a return booking so getting back after the races was very tricky.
Having said that this hotel is lovely, we loved the room very clean a great size, and perfect if you want a night away, the service of the guys in the bar was fab and they were both very helpful. We had lunch in the bar which was nice and hubby was pleased with the larger selection on draft! :-)
Unfortunately we were disappointed with the breakfast which was lukewarm and the fried eggs under cooked plus we waited 25 mins for it, this was a shame as the reviews previously for brekki had been good.
If there was a need to be in the area again yes we would book and return for another stay minus the breakfast.
