South Lodge Hotel And The Camellia Restaurant  

The grounds and the room

They do not state that they charge an exorbitant price for a dog! I called in advance to say I would have a small dog and they did not say the charge would be £50 a night!!!!

A stunning hotel and the perfect place for a self-indulgent, get-away- from-it-all break. It's not cheap but you do get what you pay for. I liked the fact the rooms/bathrooms were not only extremely well appointed (you can watch tv in the bath!) but were incredibly spacious. So often these days hotels seems to take the modern builders' approach of cramming too much into the allotted space. The standard of the service/staff, food and wine were all commensurate with the quality of the hotel. All in all we had a fantastic experience and can't wait to return.

Be sure to take your booking confirmation with you. At check-in I was told that the room rate was £355 when I had actually booked at £225. Fortunately I was able to produce a copy of my confirmation. The lady checking us in politely asked if she could take a copy of my reservation and, having done so, told me not to worry as she would look into it and have the correct rate applied. When we duly came to check-out the correct rate of £225 had indeed been charged. I do wonder, however, if it would have been quite so straightforward had I not had a copy of the reservation with me. The difference of £130 is obviously not insignificant and will buy you a few drinks even in this establishment!

We were upgraded to a junior suite as we informed the hotel staff we were celebrating our engagement. The room was amazing - couldn't have asked for a nicer one. The food in the restaurant was also superb - the best food I have ever tasted. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and overall we had a fantastic weekend.

I wish I had been contacted by the hotel eariler to book a table in their restaurant. I didn't realise how small it was and so I thought I could book a table on the night. We still had a great meal at the other restaurant but would have preferred Cameillia.

The food was excellent

No air conditioning in the rooms, even in the new wing. Bar prices exceedingly high.

Very nice hotel. Will definitely go back next time we have to stay in this area. Beautiful surroundings..

Decoration slightly old fashioned but gives the hotel its charm.

Me encanto el hotel, lo recomendaria si tienen que irse luego del aeropuerto de gatwick, ya que queda a 20 minutos. Me impacto el lugar, tanto el parque, como las habitaciones, es recomendable. Totalmente. A mis hijos de 14 y 10 años les encanto el lugar parecia un sueño. A la tarde tomamos alguna bebida en el jardin, afuera y era un lugar increible, recomendable y el baño estaba todo a nuevo un lujo!! Volveria a este lugar.
