Another party evening, this time at the Hickstead Hotel, and not too far from home for a change. Hotels seems a reasonable place - staff are very good and attentive. Food and entertainment were first class, although the room was not very full (about 30 persons I guess in total). Rooms are basic but OK - adequate for the price.... More

This is a fantastic hotel - and you should find an excuse to stay here. In order of growing 'impressiveness':- 1. The restaurant and bar are pleasant and well furnished. There seems to be a few locals that dine in the restaurant as well as the guests - which is always a good sign. Both had a good buzz without... More

It's not glamourous, no comfy lounge, lighting too bright. But the team work very hard to keep guests happy and looked after. Hassan and Patricia work long hours and very hard, always with a smile. £99 room, dinner (inc wine) and breakfast - a bargain. More

Situated just off the A23, it was near where we wanted to be. Far enough away from the main roads to be quiet enough to hear the quacking ducks in the nearby pond. Rooms were a decent size; we had the double + single family room with a rear facing aspect. No aircon but the window was sufficient and quiet... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, the room was very clean and comfortable. We had a three course dinner in the restaurant which was excellent (treacle tart best ever) Buffet breakfast was just as good. Staff are very friendly and helpful and although there was a wedding reception on we were not... More

We had dinner in the restaurant and it was fabulous! three courses and not one complaint and possibly the best shortbread we have tasted!. Breakfast was just as good, plenty on the plate and... More

We stayed at The Hickstead for 2 nights (Sat-Sun) in August. We got a great deal through Classic Lodges which got us a free three course dinner in the on-site restaurant and a choice of either cream tea or a bottle of wine. We chose the cream tea. Our second night was just bed and breakfast but that was also... More

I booked this hotel for a 3 day trip to Brighton Pride. Most of the hotels in Brighton were full so I chose this one only 10 miles north. It is set in it's own grounds and has lovely views. The staff were exceptional and made us feel very welcome. nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was very good... More
