Susie & Mike were outstanding hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly and happy to chat like family. The 4 poster room we had was spectacular. An eclectic mix of the tastes could be seen throughout the house, there was something to look at in every angle. Colour coordinated decor with matching ornaments/heirlooms and historical photographs. The whole house tells a story of a life of a couple who have lived life to the full and their family. The breakfast was fabulous,although a little too floral for me, the taste was delicious. Susie & Mike are wonderful.

The taxi fayre into Brighton

Friendly & personalised service Lovey location Beautiful historic building and extensive very well kept gardens Close to Hurstpierpoint where my son lives

A bit pricey but I had to book a double room as a single person as Hickstead meant everywhere was booked! Had to share a bathroom ( though in reality this didn't cause any issues) No locks on the rooms' doors - again actually wasn't an issue during my stay - but I guess it could be

We stayed in the four poster room which was beautifully furnished and spacious with views over the gardens and fields. In the morning Suzzi cooked a delicious breakfast which we took in the garden dinning room. The farmhouse was full of English charm and history throughout - a luxurious and relaxing place to stay in a fabulous rural location.

Beautiful house, beautiful eclectic decor. Lux-cottage yet homely. The rooms glowed with cosiness. Warm, comfortable, ultra-quiet room, I felt cocooned and safe. Host greeted well and booked me a restaurant, as I was late and hungry! Gorgeous breakfast room and excellent breakfast. Attention to detail.

Hosts were too busy to be very friendly in the morning.....but they had much to do.

Gorgeous location and setting, extensive gardens and places to sit. Lovely countryside views, so peaceful. Roomy bedroom, soft comfortable beds, with en-suite. All the wee touches were lovely, water in room, tea and coffee making facilities, very clean.

Nothing. Loved it all

Great location near Hurstpierpoint. Charming and very helpful hosts. On our arrival, we were very touched to see an Australian flag flying - a lovely gesture. Room was comfortable and provided all we needed for an overnight stay. We enjoyed a superb breakfast served in the garden room.

I have stayed in many hotels and guest houses both in the UK and overseas. This one is truly unique, from the interior decor to the stunning gardens with the added bonus of the best full English breakfast I have ever eaten and the most exquisitely prepared fresh fruit salad (with the addition of a beautiful flower as an unexpected aesthetically pleasing bonus). The hosts, Mike and Susie Skinner, go out of their way to make their guests feel welcome and the mixture of ancient farmhouse with premier fixtures, fitting and food make this the perfect getaway.

Absolutely nothing to complain about. It was an outstanding stay on every level. I am fortunate to have my own car, but the hosts did mention that it can sometimes be difficult to get a taxi in this rural location, particularly during the busy summer season.

Super helpful and encouraging hosts. They even politely up an Australian flag to celebrate my arrival. Amazing breakfast with fresh ingredients. Quiet room that was cozy too.

My bathroom was down stairs but next time I will book another room as I will stay again.

The property is breathtaking the lay out wonderful. The breakfast room is awesome amazing decorated and a everything matches. A lifetime experience and view everyone needs to have a stay there

Not so easy to travel if you are not driving a bit isolated but taxi is available and affordable so makes it easier to get about

Excellent cooked breakfast and very helpful owners of the cottage. Out of the way down a long lane from all the traffic noise.

IN the separate bathroom with maroon fittings there was very little cold water coming out of the tap and shower. Might be possible as the water softener had stopped running. This caused only very hot water to come out of the shower which would scold any child walking in there. Did not take a shower due to the crazy temp as there was very little cold water to mix and bring the temp down. From years of experience had learned to always check before ever walking into a shower when turned on.
