Horsted Place Hotel

We had a great evening out with friends and had a wonderful evening out. The food was perfect, the meat on the point. The red wine we choose fits perfectly with it. The service is, like always, exceptional, you feel welcome at any time. For sure I will come again and again and again..:.

Exeptional Service and Food. Never had better Fish in the Countryside. We‘ll coming back next year. After the really well done renovation the Restaurant looks astonishing. If you are in the Countryside you have to grab ab Drink in the Terrace with an marvelous view.

The price of the wine was eye watering. For example £7 bottle of Prosecco was £50 £7 bottle of Malbec was £45 Elderflower soda £10 The quality of the food was very low and the portions were very small. The rib eye was anaemic and bland. The lemon sole was frozen, small and overcooked. Frankly a waste of money. Interesting makeover of property has ****** the character out.

We always enjoy our visits to Horsted Place. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The new lunch menu offers great choice and is fantastic value for money. The new decoration is very sympathetic but gives the hotel a new bright light and airy feel. We will certainly be returning very soon.

Attended my mothers 90th birthday here on the 2nd June 2024 and had booked as a family for thirty adults and seven small children,several of the guests could not make it on actual day but still paid the £40.00 a head for all guests which we had booked for which was not a problem.When hot buffett was bought out was very disappointing very little food and ran out very quickly before some guest had anything to eat asked if there was anymore was told by a very young member of staff would have to pay extra .There was in our families option not enough for even fifteen guests and desserts were no better.No management staff around to complain to and in our option lovely venue and grounds does not make up for basic food and service ,will not recommend this to any of our friends and family in future.

We attended my mothers 90th birthday celebration lunch on 2nd June. What a total disappointment, having traavelled for 5 hours. The buffet consisted of asparagus tips, small boa buns, deep fried cod pieces and fried vegetables. Dessert was finger sized vanilla cheesecake and the smallest little pots consisting of 2 raspberries 2 blueberries and a strawberry topped with a swirl of cream , which was impossible to eat as you were given a dessert spoon and the pot would only enable a teaspoon into it This so called hot buffet priced at £40 per head!! The food ran out very quickly before everyone had a chance to help themselves as like many hotels a little is put out and then topped up but when we asked if there was some more food to come out we were told that if we wanted anymore we would have to pay for it The young waitress was sent out to tell us this as I felt that maybe the manager was too embarressed to show his or her face. Poor show Horsted Place as this was recommended, and I would advise anyone booking to check what are you getting for your money. The venue was booked from 1pm until 6pm. but many of the party left to find somewhere to eat before returning home.

We booked a two night stay (superior room) with Secret Escapes - the deal included breakfast and dinner on both nights and a complimentary drink from the bar on night one ( I chose champagne). We were visiting a relative who lives locally. Ahead of the stay I spoke and emailed reception to book a table for ourselves and our relative each evening. This was efficiently dealt with and confirmation received via email. The hotel and grounds are in a beautiful setting just outside Uckfield. The hotel has recently undergone a refresh so expect new carpets, soft furnishings and an updated restaurant - it felt that the refresh had a contemporary feel that worked with the history of the building. Our room was very comfortable with a huge superking bed with good linens. The room was well appointed with tea and coffee making facilities, biscuits and complimentary still and sparkling water and this was generously replenished both days. Housekeeping was discreet and efficient.The toiletries were plentiful and of a good quality. I think for us it was the peace and ambience that we enjoyed (we stayed on a Monday and Tuesday - it may be a different feel at the weekend if a wedding was being held). There is ample seating outside to enjoy the weather. I have to commend the chef and their team for the food. It was really delicious and beautifully presented. If I have one criticism the wine is quite pricey…. Expect £50 for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. All in all a lovely stay and a great deal from Secret Escapes and Horsted Place.

Staff were not welcoming or friendly throughout the afternoon tea experience. Sandwiches were dry and the egg mayo was served in a mini brioche, the two did not work together. Scones were delicious and an amazing lemon curd. Good selection of teas and coffees. Would not return due to staff and the high cost of an average afternoon tea.

Lovely hotel, staff are excellent, fantastic service. Breakfast was first class and waitress was very attentive. Beds were very comfortable, lovely espa toiletries and good shower. Bar staff were very good and having a drink over looking the grounds was very relaxing.
