We booked very late. The price was very reasonable so we didn’t really know what to expect. We were delighted. The bed was very comfortable and the room was a very good size. Our dog was made to feel very welcome and had treats etc left in the room for him. The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Hastings was an interesting town.

Hastings was an interesting town. We enjoyed the old part of the town and the funicular railway lifts, as well as the smugglers' caves, which were a must see! There were many good bars and restaurants. The nearby towns of Battle and Rye were also well worth a visit and easily visited using local buses.

This was my 3rd trip to Rye in 2 years and this time I finally managed to see the Story of Rye told with the town model in the Heritage Centre. It really helped me understand the layout and history you find walking round the old streets. The view from the church tower is absolutely stunning and well worth the climb!

Lewes is very good as a place to stay if you are interested in history or just like browsing local shops. It also has excellent railway connections so you can get to Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne and up into Sussex by public transport. It is hilly and a good base if you want to explore the South Downs by walking. A good range of restaurants, pubs and cafes too.

The spa was very well apportioned and it was very quiet and secluded. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely pleasant. One thing they must do in the restaurant is ensure that the wine ordered has arrived and ready to drink before the food is served. It is not good form to serve the food without the wine bottle even being at the table, let alone not opened.
