Reasonable but overpriced and communal shower not
Stayed in room above pub. Room was ok, nice bedding, towels etc.
The communal bathroom could do with some improvement. A shower extension in the bath that you have to hold which is a trickle of water and nothing if you stand up - making it impossible to wash your hair . Skirting and flooring not the cleanest in rest of bathroom too.
Good breakfast included which isn’t mentioned on the description

Fantastic stay - highly recommded!
Beautiful location for a very peaceful stay. Stunning room which was very-well thought-out and spotlessly clean. Very friendly and attentive staff. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. For breakfast I can recommend the porridge with warm maple syrup!

Cottage with a family friendly appeal. Family owned and
warm staff. Close proximity to the Pooh village and Pooh bridge.
The swimmer that beat the world’s most decorated swimmer Michael Phelps is on the staff. So this property has character. American Express Cards are don’t work here, so carry Visa or Masrtercard and Cash

A gorgeous country pub with beautiful accommodation. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the location was excellent for relaxing country walks. A fantastic break away for a couple of days.

When we arrived there was no clear indication of reception so went to the bar, the young lad asked “what do you want!” Decided to have a meal on arrival but after waiting for more than 30 mins where nothing appeared, decided to cancel! Despite asking for an update and not receiving ANY information. Staff on day 1 less than adequate. Staff on day 3 and 4 much better. No indication that the room would not be serviced until I enquired. Not impressed at all

Superb rural getaway
Secluded cottage behind the Dorset Arms, in the grounds of the Buckhurst Park estate. Large, tastefully-decorated rooms, peace and quiet, and sweeping views. Food excellent. Parking also very easy and convenient. Plenty of good walking routes in the Ashdown Forest a short drive away.

We booked two twin rooms which were situated right above the actual pub (which we were not aware of). We have two young kids who could not rest and we all had a terrible nights sleep. It was extremely loud and noisy and the set up was not family friendly at all. The water flush in the toilet of the shared bathroom was not functioning properly. The staff room was next to our rooms so we heard a lot of service personnel walking along the hallway and getting stuff from that room. We had to request to be moved to other rooms which were a lot more expensive. We were not offered a discount and were still charged for the first night. Very disappointed about this. The rooms generally looked very clean but we found marks on the linen and the bath robes. The staff were friendly. If you book I would definitely recommend to ask whether the rooms you are considering are in the Cottage or above the Pub.

A little gem in beautiful countryside.
A very comfortable room in a charming cottage of 6 rooms with shared communal access. The cottage is in a peaceful setting with stunning views of the Buckhurst estate in which it sits. The land is accessible for walking from the cottage and the pub offers good food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. A good breakfast is provided and included in the price.
