Gravetye Manor

Excellent hotel and restaurant with staff to match! My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and with my wife being immunosuppressed it was especially important that she felt comfortable, I can honestly say the staff were very considerate and respectful of her situation all of which made our stay really special and was truly appreciated. Will return without hesitation to this fantastic place!

We stayed here for one night Dinner, Bed & Breakfast. All staff were very welcoming. The hotel is charming and set in a magnificent location with superb views all round. Dinner in the beautiful restaurant was excellent. The room was very comfortable with extra touches. Breakfast also did not disappoint. Although expensive, a worthwhile treat.

Such a beautiful experience. Everything is incredible from the house, the gardens, the walled kitchen garden, the food in the restaurant to the bedrooms and the staff. Exactly what you would expect from a 5 star hotel and Michelin starred restaurant. It’s also lovely to be able to walk around the entire 1000 acre estate and further into the surrounding countryside. Such a peaceful secluded destination with a timeless sense of luxury.

Our Christmas present to each other was a night away, with dinner and breakfast, at Gravetye Manor. Friends had visited, and on the strength of their comments, we decided to treat ourselves. When people speak so highly of a place, it’s easy for it not to live up to expectations. So, I was hoping that we would not be disappointed when we visited last Thursday. On pulling into the carpark, our first impression was very favourable, and things just got better from then on. We were greeted in the carpark, shown to reception and our cases were taken. Reception staff were lovely, check in swift and we were shown our room. Our room was upgraded, and when we saw where we would be staying, we couldn’t stop smiling. Our accommodation exceeded all our expectations. Before dinner we enjoyed a cocktail each in the bar, and were then shown to our table in the dining room. It’s misleading when you read that you will be served a three course dinner. We each chose our three courses, and even before we received our starter, three very tasty dishes, along with a selection of bread and butter, were brought to our table. Another tasty morsel appeared before our mains arrived, and another before our desert. Each dish was beautifully presented, and tasted wonderful, and the wines the Sommelier chose for us complimented the dishes perfectly. After the meal we were shown to a small lounge where coffee and petit fours were waiting for us. The perfect end to a wonderful meal. After a comfortable night’s sleep we enjoyed a very tasty breakfast, overlooking the lovely garden. The whole experience was a wonderful treat, all the staff were great, and we hope to return very soon. Thanks to all.

We went for lunch on Sunday with two French friends who have high standards and expectations. The service, presentation and quality of the food was exceptional as usual. Our friends were more than impressed to say the least. They said the Gravetye was better than any restaurant they have been to in France !

Beautiful historic hotel and restaurant. Exceptional food, fine dining and amazing, hugely professional staff. The set lunch (£72pp) was an absolute delight at every turn and the gardens are lovely. Worth every penny. A wonderful treat!
