Gravetye Manor

We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel last night. All of the staff are charming helpful and friendly. We stayed in ASH suite which was absolutely divine with homemade cookies sloe gin and humbugs. We had dinner in the restaurant and I have to say it was faultless. The food was so delicious we were wowing over it all night. I cannot wait to return to this gem of a hotel and cannot recommend it enough. Wonderful experience and perfect in every way,

An ideal country house experience. The staff are very friendly and this adds to the relaxed and luxurious atmosphere. Dinner was absolutely superb. The chef is an artist. Also they have created a delightful modern space to dine in. Likewise breakfast is a delight. It was foggy and cold the night we stayed which added to the getaway indulgent experience Maybe return in Spring or Summer

We stayed Sunday into Monday and would thoroughly recommend. It's a real treat. The staff were all so nice - I feel rather rude, as I didn't get names; The Geordie man on the door. The Romanian barman and the lovely blonde lady at breakfast were some of the standouts, but all were a credit to the place and definitely added to the experience. We felt bad as we forgot to arrive with any cash. I do hope the 12.5% they put on any food/drink is distributed to all staff members and not just the serving staff. The chambermaids work so hard! We will be back as I can only imagine how this place is during the summer.

We stayed here for one night Dinner, Bed & Breakfast. All staff were very welcoming. The hotel is charming and set in a magnificent location with superb views all round. Dinner in the beautiful restaurant was excellent. The room was very comfortable with extra touches. Breakfast also did not disappoint. Although expensive, a worthwhile treat.

Our Christmas present to each other was a night away, with dinner and breakfast, at Gravetye Manor. Friends had visited, and on the strength of their comments, we decided to treat ourselves. When people speak so highly of a place, it’s easy for it not to live up to expectations. So, I was hoping that we would not be disappointed when we visited last Thursday. On pulling into the carpark, our first impression was very favourable, and things just got better from then on. We were greeted in the carpark, shown to reception and our cases were taken. Reception staff were lovely, check in swift and we were shown our room. Our room was upgraded, and when we saw where we would be staying, we couldn’t stop smiling. Our accommodation exceeded all our expectations. Before dinner we enjoyed a cocktail each in the bar, and were then shown to our table in the dining room. It’s misleading when you read that you will be served a three course dinner. We each chose our three courses, and even before we received our starter, three very tasty dishes, along with a selection of bread and butter, were brought to our table. Another tasty morsel appeared before our mains arrived, and another before our desert. Each dish was beautifully presented, and tasted wonderful, and the wines the Sommelier chose for us complimented the dishes perfectly. After the meal we were shown to a small lounge where coffee and petit fours were waiting for us. The perfect end to a wonderful meal. After a comfortable night’s sleep we enjoyed a very tasty breakfast, overlooking the lovely garden. The whole experience was a wonderful treat, all the staff were great, and we hope to return very soon. Thanks to all.

Superb ‘field to fork’ meal. Worth every penny (especially as I wasn’t paying!). Party of three - one vegan, one veggie, one meat eater. Every dish I had was exquisite - both in presentation and taste. Most of the ingredients came from the gardens and really couldn’t taste any better. The setting and the Manor House itself is also stunning - even on an overcast day. The glass-fronted restaurant enclosure ingeniously nestles between the stone exterior walls, offering up a glorious view of the beautiful gardens. Service was attentive, informative, warm and friendly. Seriously good food.
