Nice, classic english countryside hotel. Friendly staff and great food in the pub. Extra + for the ample parking behind the hotel. Sidenote: I recommend breakfast at Maria's Café just a two minute walk down the road.

Brambletye Hotel Forest Row

The hotel clearly needs refreshing it’s tired and a bit scruffy, bathroom in particular. Car park full of huge potholes and large puddles. Staff friendly and helpful. Price reasonable but higher than nicer venues just outside Forest Row.

Good service, clean, great indian restaurant.

Lovely service, they are really trying to do everything well. The room had a bath, great shower, a safe, a fan, decent kettle, the bed was remade every day and all used towels replaced. The restaurant is highly recommended for a curry. Parking is really difficult to make out if you arrive in the dark and the carpark is not in good condition but on street parking worked for my stay.

A good place to stay if you have an early flight from Gatwick airport. The property was quiet and the bed of decent quality. However, the sheets were all creased and they felt dirty. The rooms need a good deep clean and updating.

Big room, centrally located in Forest Row (across from bus stop; walking distance to shops and food). The bar downstairs was really loud one night, and it could have been cleaner. There aren't a lot of options in the area, and this place was fine, but underwhelming (and felt overpriced)

Overnight stay

The people who we met were all nice however, the service and cleanliness was very poor. The place is very tired and in need of a refurb. But as well there were things left out all over the place, looked untidy and like no one cared. Won’t stay again. And no breakfast offered at all.

Below the standard expected from Hotels.com

Although the staff were friendly and accommodating as much as possible, the state of the room was and the furnishings was not good. From lights not working to headboards falling off in the night and a panel covering a hole that you could see the outside from. No breakfast offered and very little to appeal to customers. Unfortunately not somewhere we would ever visit again.

The hotel appears very dated, and very empty! No food service at all, very few guests it seemed and hardly any staff around. The building and room was very tired, a thick layer of dust on the back of the tv and the bathroom very dated. No restaurant service, and the bar was deserted, infact it was shut when I got back at 9.30pm, and the front door was already locked and no staff around at all. The few staff I did see were very pleasant. The car park was horrendously flooded and very dark so almost impossible to avoid the water, and as the back entrance was locked it was a long dark walk around to the front door. This hotel definitely needs a new lease of life somehow!

5* from A to Z.

5* from A to Z. Friendly professional receptionist. Great attitude, oriented to the customer. Clean rooms and free of oddors. Nice bead and room including the toilet. A little bit cold for my own taste definitely not so cold as to botter me in any way. I guess if I was looking was a thermostat on the radiator. Clean hotel with a large free carpark. (As improvement few lights in the carpark will made a big difference for safety of the customer cars and goods ) . Thank you very much for the acoomodation and I will look into booking this hotel again in the future. PS : A bar is also available in the premises for whomever is interested in having few beers. (Was not my case this time but is good to know).
