Brambletye Hotel

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
Stephen, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Liturally no management, no hot water and parking space was flooded
Martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall for the price range very good. However a bit more attention to detail could be paid to cleaning. Bed was mattress was excellent however mattress topper was stained and needed deep clean or replacing. Would I stay again yes.
Kevin, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Loud live music in all the rooms

Beware of the live music, there is nowhere quiet in this hotel until 1am. They really shouldn't allow bookings on live music nights.
Reginald, 2-night trip

Could do with updating

Nice sized room, could really do with a good redecorate but it was clean and comfortable, nice bar with good food and friendly service

Bathroom dirty and in shower in poor condition. Footprints in the shower tray, cleaner when I left.
Glenn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No where ahead of arriving at the property were we made aware that there is live music until gone midnight! We booked this for the night before a charity walk which meant we needed to be out at 5am, safe to say the live music going on until after midnight was not expected nor fun! The room was disgusting and dirty.

6/10 Good

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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).
Florin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

A short stay but a few observations: - Carpets on the stairs up to the room hadn't been hoovered in a long time - chair in room fell apart on day 2. I'd been sitting at it on day 1. Day 2 I went to pull it out and it fell apart. If I'd sat on it I'd have been injured - thermostat on shower didn't work. It delivered scalding got water only - mixer on shower leaked constantly. Could only hear dripping. They'd attempted to address this by wrapping a towel around the taps to catch the drips. Problem is when I arrived it had clearly been there a few days and was sopping wet so drips hit with a loud thud - kettle was half full with water. No idea how long it had been there. Should have been emptied

4/10 Fair

Very disappointing, poor choice based on website.

Dilapidated "For Sale" sign outside was indicative of the general state. Friendly receptionist showed us to room which was reasonable. Fridge missing. TV produced only "No signal" and receptionist could not make it work so spent an hour sorting another room to which we moved. This had the promised fridge and working TV. Badly stained furniture (photo) and traces of mould on shower curtain. Blocked bath/shower drain very slow to clear. Actual shower worked excellently, good flow and stable temperature - best thing about the place! Towels and bedding appeared clean. Bar deserted, real ale not available. Restaurant deserted, looked abandoned and although a menu was in evidence it is unclear whether the kitchen was working. Fortunately great food and drink were available at other establishments within easy walking distance in Forest Row.. Exterior all in need of a proper clean. All in all a poor choice based on website, will not be returning.
very badly stained furniture

After getting upgraded though a problem with the booking the staff were brilliant and sorted the problem and made us aware of the band that as playing that night of which the loud music would be heard till 1am. Wallpaper hanging off the walls and very small corridors, carpark had massive holes in which scratched the front of the car.

Don’t bother.

Would not recommend. Very shabby and rundown looking. Bags of laundry littering the hallways. Bedrooms and bathrooms need a complete overhaul.
