Turned up at 1.30pm and given the room. The room was dark and dingy even with the lights on. The floor and cupboards were dirty, and didn’t want to risk sleeping in the beds. Also, the corridors stank of vomit. The place was up for sale and it was obvious that no money had been spent on the accommodation or rooms. There was no way weee were stopping there. We left and found found another hotel in the next village.

Brambletye Hotel Forest Row

The hotel clearly needs refreshing it’s tired and a bit scruffy, bathroom in particular. Car park full of huge potholes and large puddles. Staff friendly and helpful. Price reasonable but higher than nicer venues just outside Forest Row.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No staff present on arrival, how to track someone down to help us. He asked no security questions, not asked sign anything, just given a key. The corridors were boiling hot and had a horrid smell. Obviously people had been smoking im the hotel. Room was filthy. Bed linen ok, but the cushions and throw were stained and torn. Hair and scum around the bath. Disgusting toilet brush. The door to the joining room was left open.l and room next door not serviced. Paint and wall paper hanging off walls. Generally just dirty and unclean everywhere. Giant holes in the car park. No warnings. This is going to end with damaged cars or injury. We immediately left could not find anyone again to talk to. So went to find alternative accommodation. Such a shame as it could be lovely. The whole area was buzzing, the 2 pubs opposite were full and there was not a single person in pr around this property. I have since tried reaching out and i have heard nothing!!!

Don’t bother.

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

The room was quite spacious though a bit shabby. There was no one at reception at first but i didnt have to wait long, she was very helpful. Even though there was live music in the bar it didnt disturb me. It was fine for the one night i stayed there.
