Hotels near Downside Abbey

"This property has new owners, so what is old and what is new I don’t know. The place needs a refurb and not to have polyester sheets! However it was not expensive so you get what you pay for"

"Great staff and amenities"

"We stayed for one night and were very happy overall. The standout was the gentleman running the place, who seemed to be doing everything. He was genuinely welcoming and made the stay feel easy and relaxed. The accommodation itself is a bit tired in places, but that felt in keeping with it being an old pub. Importantly, everything was clean and well looked after. The bedroom, bathroom, and bedding were all spotless, which matters more than modern décor. It has a nice, quaint, old-fashioned feel. We ate in the restaurant in the evening. The food was fine, nothing particularly memorable, and it did feel a little expensive for what it was, but that seems fairly typical at the moment. Breakfast, on the other hand, was excellent and a real highlight. It set us up perfectly for the day. It was very quiet during our stay. There were hardly any cars in the car park, and we were the only ones eating both in the evening and at breakfast. That may suit some people, but it is worth noting if you are expecting a busier atmosphere. One practical point: the electric vehicle chargers on site are currently not working, so do not rely on them. Overall, a pleasant, comfortable stay with great service and a strong breakfast."

"Tv in bar lounge not set up for even basic channels, just on a rolling red bull advert..pointless waste of electricity. Couldn’t get an evening meal before 7pm as booked up but surely residents should come first? Staff were first class, rooms clean and comfortable, would stay here again "

"Stayed over Easter with the family and we loved it. Hopefully we can return in the not too distant future. "

"Very nice and clean place! Fantastic communication with the host who couldn’t do enough for us! Superb setting and will definitely be looking at going back again!"

"QUite old fashioned and our room smelled of wet dog, which was off-putting. Bed was really not good quality or comfortable, it was more like a water bed. Amenities are basic and sharign one bathrom between at least 6 rooms is not great. The woman beind the bar was lovely and friendly, but apart from that it was very average I'm afraid."
