Great find at a great price
Lovely room underneath the pub. Really easy parking and check in. Room very spacious, large TV, good sized shower cubicle. Bed extremely comfortable. Tea/coffee available in room, more oat milk than cows milk sachets would be great but plentiful even for a couple.

Not deep cleaned
We understand the hotel is pet friendly but we were unable to stay in room due to allergies. Not a deep clean as stated by staff. Cobweb over shower head dust around skirting . Room also smelt damp and black mould on grouting in shower. We couldn't stay the night so choose to drive home. I had emailed hotel next day but had no response .

We were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady I didn't catch her name) The room I requested (with a bath) hadn't been allocated to us but after a call this was sorted and the room we stayed in was lovely. We ate in the pub, my husbands beef short rib was only luke warm, they said it would be replaced but would take 20 mins,we said just to warm properly would be ok, which was done although I did think that some money should have been taken off or complimentary drinks offered but they were not. The breakfast was lovely but no cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit or croissants which are usually offered at most hotels and b&b's.

Fun little stay
Really friendly staff. Our room which we booked last minute for a little escape, was tiny! But it was comfortable. Booking above a pub we were worried about noise and it was a little noisy but mainly from the traffic as the room is really close to the road. The staff were really cool, the pub had a great vibe, the shower was amazing, the TV perfect and the breakfast was Top. good value.

Bolthole for Spartan day at Ashdown Forest!
Staff were extreemly helpful and friendly. I chose this hotel because of the excellent reviews but my personal experience of the stay was that the room we stayed in (cant remember the name of the room but its situated at the first level, the first door you come to). The bathroom was lovely and clean but the main room was quite dusty. The room was very basic. Our room was detailed as a Delux Double Room but I failed to see the 'Delux' part. We also found the parking a nightmare, the pub is obviously a popular busy pub but with limited parking, when we asked where we could park if the car park was full, we were told to park in the free town/village car park about 1/2 a mile away!...HUMMM... We liked the fact that the hotel/pub was dog friendly, so we brought our dog along but we found that we were 'locked in' overnight! So if our dog had wanted to go out to relieve herself overnight (which can happen from time to time) we couldn't exit the building unfortunately.

Real Life Fawlty Towers - AVOID AT ALL COSTS
We found the real life Fawlty Towers!!! What a night- we were shown to our room, walking out of the front of the pub, past the petrol forecourt, round the back near the bins, past a loud extractor fan spitting greasy air from the kitchen at you. To arrive at the 'Balfour Suite' - next problem, no electricity whatsoever and a serious damp issue in the room. After a few minutes, we were asked to wait at the bar and offered complimentary drinks. So we had to use the touches on our phones to get changed, headed back to the bar. All staff friendly, unfortunately, young and untrained. However Jack was excellent and we decided to eat in the pub section as there was only one other table in the restaurant. Every single dish was awful. Some of the worst food we've ever experiences. The bill came to almost £250 and £100 was removed. Cold starters, over cooked steak, it was a farce.....which turned out to be very funny and literally everything was awful. Then breakfast just about topped it off. After over 30 minutes, not one of us (4 people) ate the food. I tried to speak to the waiter, and he responded "well, where have you eaten before"- this waiter turned out to be the GM. After explaining everything that had happened, he shrugged she shoulders and said "thank you for your feedback". A real shame as for £180 for the room and £150 with not even a 'sorry' from the GM, not going to be recommending or visiting ever again.
