A lovely little boutique hotel in the countryside near Hastings. Possibly a work in progress, the owners have been working tirelessly for several years to get it to the current state, but we were very happy with it.

We didn't try any of the food there, due to circumstances, but the afternoon teas looked wonderful!

Highly recommended, easy parking.

Just one thing to notice, if when you are approaching the entrance, if you are going uphill (southbound), be very vigilant because the sign is AFTER the entrance, if you're coming downhill (northbound) then it's much easier! If you reach the Beefeater at the top of the hill, do a u-turn (you don't want to eat there!).

I stayed in the middle of a heatwave, the bedroom had paper thin curtains so was woken by the light at 5am.
The room was also boiling, tho they gave me a small fan. The chef had left so no food available in the evening.
Breakfast were adequate (tho somehow unable to do poached eggs???)

The shower was great, but the whole hotel is extremely tired and needs a huge amount of updating.
It had an air of Fawlty Towers about it

It's more a large guest house. We stayed in the lovely, long room.at the top of the hotel with beams running through it.

The hotel is quirky and nice.

Breakfast wasn't great. We had a full English. Better quality, even if it cost another £2, would have been welcome.

Turned up and got confronted by a member of staff in the car park who proceeded to tell us that there were only 3 staff working that day, and she had to clean all the rooms alone and everything was currently a mess so could we come back later to check in. The outside looked very tired and in need of maintenance so we cut our losses and decided to go and find somewhere else to stay!

A great hotel, with beautiful furniture, bespoke rooms, lovely breakfast. The couple that run this hotel are awesome. Nothing was too much trouble. Happy to have a good chat or to leave you to your day. Organised a restaurant and taxi for us, which we went back to the next day. If we had more time we would have afternoon tea, which looked lovely. We will be going back. Thank you for making my 50th birthday special.

Very helpful and friendly staff, it was a heatwave and unfortunately the fan we were given could not cut the heat which led to a restless night with the sun streaming in from 5:30. Breakfast was tasty but limited due to staff and delivery issues but the staff that were available were going out of their way to keep issues to a minimum.

Bath water wasn't quite hot enough both times it was used, but was still warm.

No eggs at breakfast which apparently had been like that all weekend...I don't understand why someone didn't get some?

Then they ran out of pain au chocolats...and the bread used for toast was the cheap kind.

We arrived on a very miserable wet Friday evening and got a great warm welcome to the hotel: thank you. We stayed in room 1 which is up in the attic: a lovely quirky room that was very quiet and comfortable, though you do need to mind your head as you move around the room. We didn’t realise when we chose this room that the room’s bathroom was downstairs: this was okay but we may have chosen differently had we known.
The public spaces in the hotel were comfortable and welcoming but the general decor throughout needs refreshing as some of the paintwork has become grubby.
The hotel has WiFi but it doesn’t reach through the whole building: the availability of decent WiFi in a hotel is, these days, really a basic requirement, and not a luxury. There is definitely an urgent need to address this in this hotel.

Stayed here for a night before a family event. It was very convenient for our needs. The staff were lovely, so helpful and friendly. Our room was wonderful, with lots of lovely touches (including home made cookies). There were a few squeaks and creeks (the bathroom door particularly) that a bit of pil would probably sort out.
Breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast Ive had in a very long time. The mushrooms and scrambled eggs were heavenly.
Our only issuewas that our room faced the road and so was was a bit noisy but they cant move the hotel, and they do provide earplugs!
Im sure we'll be back.

We saw a few things that could be improved. First was the cleanliness of the shower as it needed a good cleaning. Second is the addition of lighting at the end of the driveway to make visible at night. It was difficult to find in the dark especially when people were speeding along the road and couldn't slow down to spot the drive.

The Manager and his partner were very friendly and the food was to a high standard.
Some observations, in the room we were allocated, the 'on suite' could be improved by providing a shelf in the shower instead of having to reach down to ground level for shampoo etc , and a towel rail would be useful in the suite. Also, the water pressure in the hand basin can only be described as a trickle for both hot and cold water.
These observations are made by someone in their eighties who unfortunately finds it difficult to bend these days.

We were greeted when we arrived by the hotel manager who was lovely and friendly. The hotel parking was easy and the rooms were clean - the bed was comfy. We needed to be at a wedding from 3pm which was check in time and the hotel were kind to let us check in a tiny bit early.

My only issue (which is why my review isn’t excellent) was that the suite of rooms we were given had locks on each room with a shared bathroom but not lockable from the external main door which opens to all the rooms - which means I felt uncomfortable allowing my young daughter to sleep outside of my locked door.

She could have locked her bedroom door but for an 8 year she would have found that hard. My husband and son sadly didn’t join us in the end so she slept in with me but if they had this would have been tricky for us to manage and we’d have likely had to move rooms.

The breakfast was good with a friendly waitress. We would stay again but not in the same rooms.

Breakfast was dreadful. If you have allergies do not stay here if you want to eat.The wait for coffee and for a order to be taken was 20 minutes,I am gluten free and was told I could not have the sausage, I ordered a full English but what I got after nearly a hour was a few mushrooms,1 egg a pot of beans and a tomato., I was told the bacon was not safe as cooked with sausage, then a few minutes later 3 cold bits of bacon appeared, we did not eat and on the 2nd morning we ate breakfast out. Very tired looking hotel needs some tlc.

Tired 2* hotel in need of some TLC from owner

We booked this hotel as it was a conveinent location for our schedule. Parking is adequate by the entrance door. We were greeted at reception promptly and asked to sign a waver for potential damage. We noted that the booking was for indivudal rooms and we were allocated Room 2 at the end of the corridor at the front. The room has enough space and a tight but functional ensuite Bathroom. The shower water pressure varies which creates cold periods when used. The TV had only a few channels that worked. The proximity to the road is a disadvantage as noisey vehicles struggle to get up the steep gradient at night. The single curtain was inadequate to keep out light so it woke us up early in the morning.

The grounds are large with a fair sized pond in the middle enough to walk a dog in the morning. However the area is rough and not well maintained.

Breakfast is average, as the food was only luke warm a with long 45 minute wait on day 2 which was frustrating.

I would rate this a 2 star hotel. It could do with some refurbishment investment and TLC from the owner, as it has the potential to be very nice hotel.

Overnight stay

Bedrooms are lovely only down side was not have a lock on the area door deviding the room from rest of hotel so that anyone could just walk through to bedroom doors. Even though booked a room with master and single. Didn’t like that we were separated by heavy bedroom door. As daughter couldn’t move the bedroom door, so she slept on a giant Teddy in the room we was in as didn’t like that anyone could just walk into that area as no lock on door apart from the main bedrooms plus she couldn’t open her door once closed.
Daughter was deeply disappointed in not being able to go for a swim as we purposely booked the hotel because it had a pool. We were told that not been able to get a part for the pool for last 2 years and not been use for that time.
Apart from that manager was very welcoming, lady servicing breakfeast was lovely and friendly. Daughter adored her. Breakfeast was very filling and yummy.
Daughter said maybe add pancakes with syrup and blueberries onto menu.

Beautiful house, amazing value

Beautiful house set in large grounds with ponds, and garden. Plenty of free parking out front. Large comfortable room with period features. Free breakfast cooked to order served in the conservatory. Afternoon cream tea Is also available. Must be booked at least a day in advance. There is a Beefeater restaurant a five minute walk down the road which was handy as no food was available. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only negatives (hence 4 stars) were that Radio One was blasting at full volume all day and into the evening (even during breakfast). I would have thought some quiet classical music or modern jazz would have been appropriate lovely old house. Traffic noiselooooud but earplugs were thoughtfully provided. But all in all for 80 quid an absolute bargain!

Semi rural stopover place ideal if touring an area

Lovely character full older property in its own grounds just outside Hastings. It suited our needs entirely as a quiet location out of town although the road to Rye passes outside but not unduly intrusive at all. Lovely period furniture in the public areas of the hotel with helpful and friendly staff especially at breakfast service. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and you have the time take a brief wander around the lake with its fountain, the grounds need a little work and tidying but its perhaps an ongoing project so we would stop here again.

Quirky Hastings hotel

Pleasant welcome, shown to room. It’s an old property so the rooms are a little quirky. Room was clean although there was a slightly musty smell probably because of it being an old building. Tea and coffee making equipment in room. The shower was clean and worked well. The tap of the bathroom sink could have been more powerful, it was little more than a dribble which made teeth brushing difficult. My room was on the opposite side of the hotel from the road so was very quiet, and I had the window open all night as my visit was during the heatwave, however there were packets of earplugs in the room. There is ample on site parking. I was contacted a couple of days before my stay to let me know the restaurant is not open in the evening at the moment however a cooked English breakfast (regular and vegetarian) and toast and cereals are available in the morning. The hotel is well situated to get to Hastings sea front and town centre ( about 10 minutes by car) and probably around 20 minutes to get to Rye. It is about 5-10 minutes by car to the local hospital. It is an interesting old building and has outside seating. The hotel was very suitable for my trip, I was visiting a friend, and I would stay there again.

Amazing place. Super room with huge bed and 2 comfortable arm chairs. Large tv. Downstairs were 2 large rooms which we could relax in and look at the many interesting and exotic objects on display. Excellent breakfast.
