Great for parkrun tourists

We stayed the night. Nice clean and comfortable room. The food served in the pub was excellent and great value. Staff were super helpful. Perfectly situated for visiting wakehurst place - especially if you’re a park runner. They very kindly provided a later breakfast, which was delicious.

Wonderful stay

The whole stay from checkin to breakfast was wonderful. We had an evening meal in the bar, the food was amazing and the service was great. We had a very comfortable nights sleep and then arose to an amazing breakfast. We will definitely be returning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Poor, nobody clean the room in my five day stay, I had to take my trash and take it to reception, very hot, no fan or air conditioning, almost zero service, they don’t care about customers, the breakfast included is bread, milk, cereal and if you were lucky some tiny fruits. Terrible experience, please Expedia don’t offer this in your platform.

Great stay in even in a storm

We had a wonderful stay, the beds were super comfy and we did not want to leave it! We went in a bad storm so we did have to deal with some power cuts and we didn't get to have our full English. But the chef was wonderful and tried her best to get us some breakfast out and made us a bacon sandwich which was really appreciated. Great check in and staff were just amazing.
