This stay was a Christmas gift for us from our daughter and the actual stay was perfect , what a beautiful place and the flowers and gardens were fabulous as was the food , room , service and bar . However the actual booking if this gift was not good at all ! I rang about February time to book a date in July only to be told I couldn’t book for another 3 months as it was too early ! When I did ring on the given date I was told the date I wanted was full ! Then tried to book the following night but same thing , full up ! I couldn’t understand this and rang Red Letter Days for advice only to be told it was nothing to do with them just deal with the hotel ! A very disappointing scenario , However our stay was just what we hoped only spoilt by the unnecessary rules and red tape and lack of interest from yourselves .

The Show was Brilliant. Excellent Meal and great value for the money.

We loved the concept of staying in a Romany-type caravan for two nights. The location suited us as naturalists so well with places like Arne Heath and Brownsea Island so close. We did other trips to Thomas Hardy’s house; Corfe Castle and to the Great Bustard project on Salisbury Plain. We packed a lot in but we were there close to Longest Day so we had lots of time to use. We are in our 70’s but encountered no problems here - and the staff were so friendly and helpful too.

Watched the greatest showman at the open air cinema which was great

Amazing

Had a spa day with treatment and afternoon tea, The Spa phoned in the morning to confirm my booking. Sher Tang was so nice made me feel so relaxed. Went for afternoon tea afterwards which was nice Thank you for a lovely day.

Lovely day at East Sussex National. Well worth £100 for two people. Afternoon tea is lovely and you get loads!!
