“This historic inn in Forest Row is undergoing a noticeable transition, with new management clearly focused on revitalization. The genuine warmth of the staff, particularly Tiffany who went above and beyond, makes a significant impression, as does the comforting atmosphere of the bar with its real fireplace. It's a place where the gardens and quiet surroundings offer a pleasant escape, and the value for money, especially with comfortable beds and sizable rooms, speaks for itself.”
