Hotels near Gardens & Grounds of Herstmonceux Castle

"Registration was cursory. Certainly not rude, just “fill in your details and here’s your key.” No offer of assistance for two seniors to carry suitcases up narrow stairs. No further information offered. Room was adequate. Shower is traditional British style - in a very high narrow tub, very dangerous for seniors in my opinion. Notice in room that no outside food allowed, and may result in an additional charge. Overall good value for money, but more of a two star than a three star hotel. "

"Easy parking , very clean . Older property but loads of character. Best pieces for me was the warm welcome and the couple could not have helped me more and the food is absolutely fantastic. Family run very personable , would definitely stay again "

"Lovely accommodation. Bed was comfortable. The annexe was quiet. It had everything you could want. Heating was welcomed too. Host was lovely. However, on listing there was no mention that to access the property there were steps. The choice was to go through a gate and walk down seven steps or walk down the entire length of the garden which was sloped downwards towards the property and still go down two steps. I have mobility issues and was using a dog pram to transport my belongings. I couldn't do the seven steps and the other option made me very nervous walking a long way on the wet grass and then still having to navigate two steps. The host helped me a couple of times but I was there three nights so had to manage this mostly myself and it was very anxiety provoking even when just walking with a stick. However, the accommodation itself was lovely and I enjoyed my stay, However, I worry that anyone booking with any kind of mobility issues wouldn't know the issues from looking at the photos and there is no mention anywhere in the listing of steps. If this information had been on the listing I would have not taken it. If you have no mobility issues then this is a lovely place to stay. "

"If you're looking for a peaceful stay in a period country house then Cleavers Ling is the perfect place for you. Our bedroom was comfortable. The breakfast room, with its oak beams and inglenook fireplace set the scene for our host, Sally, to bring us full English breakfasts, (my eggs were poached to perfection). Tea from a large silver service tea pot poured without dripping on the linen tablecloth and the toast from the toast-rack rounded off the meal and set us up for the morning. We were also offered home made banana bread wrapped up for a mid day snack. All this made our three night stay....perfect. Thank you Sally!"

"All very good. However too many disabled parking spaces meaning too few for others"
