Breakfast 7/10, dinner 9/10; friendliness of staff excellent.

Joseph United Kingdom

Amazing, friendly service. Great food in a beautiful orangery. Beautiful building and grounds, Remarkable value for money.

Michael United Kingdom

Everything you could want for breakfast and more. All superbly cooked and presented

Priscilla Portugal

Beautiful setting. Very attentive staff. Excellent food. A true reminder of more elegant times.

Barney United Kingdom

We were lucky to visit on a quite summer day and found the place wonderfully relaxing. It combines an elegant architecture of Italian inspiration with a quintessentially romantic English landscape. The rather classic interiors may at first sight recall the uptight atmosphere of a gentlemen's club but the staff could not be more friendly and welcoming which results in a pleasurable experience even for a family with children. To top it all, the food served at breakfast and dinner at the restaurant in the beautiful "orangerie" is of the highest quality, at a very reasonable price. One final remark: in case you like travelling by train, and only have a small bag or backpack with you, the most wonderful experience is reaching the hotel on foot from Buxted station via the footpath that crosses the deer park, veers around the lakes and then climbs up to reach the hotel from the garden side... (it is only a 15min walk overall).

Claudia United Kingdom

We found the staff particularly friendly. You have some lovely people working for you. I was very pleased with my room which had a lovely terrace overlooking the beautiful grounds. We had dinner in the Orangery which was lovely. We hope to be back for more business trips in the future.

Bgfs United Kingdom

High score for Buxted Low score for Buxted

In the heart of Sussex, this magnificent country house hotel is set in 312 acres of private grounds and parkland, yet conveniently close to Gatwick, Brighton & Hove.

High ceilings and original features such as open fireplaces are featured in the Buxted Park bedrooms, in addition to 4-poster beds and grand bathrooms. Carefully designed to blend Georgian styling with today's more contemporary comforts.

Fine dining can be enjoyed in the 2 AA rosette restaurant, and a continental breakfast can also be provided.

Take advantage of the beautiful surroundings and enjoy a leisurely picnic or fish in our 3 peaceful lakes. Take a stroll to Ashdown Forest where AA Milne found inspiration for Winnie the Pooh.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

Buxted Park Country House has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Oct 6, 2009
