It was fine for a budget night in a place just to sleep.
With oak beams and open fires, this charming 17th-century inn features a leafy garden and traditional restaurant. The Roebuck sits on the A22 road, on the edge of Royal Ashdown Forest.

The hotel is a typical English hotel in terms of deco. A bit dated, but I find that quite "quaint" rather than shabby. Mind you the carpet in our bedroom I would call shabby! Maybe not as clean as it could be, but that said the bed had nice white clean crisp sheets and there were nice white fluffy towels in the bathroom. In fact the bed was super comfortable. Be warned the walls and thin and our adjoining room on the both nights of our stay came in late, and made a lot of noise that woke me up! Not the hotels fault, but the sound proofing is just not there.
In Ashdown Forest, this beautiful 19th-century mansion offers spacious rooms, a spa and a 2AA Rosette restaurant. Set in 186 acres of landscaped countryside, there is an 18-hole golf course.

Location is by a traffic island so room was not quiet but earplugs were thoughtfully provided. The traffic noise did not disturb me but did my partner. Comfy bed - lovely bathroom. Ambience of pub good. Breakfast good. Would stay again.

I loved this area, and the bus can get you to the town and there's plenty to eat and explore in town BUT to get to the beautiful ashdown forest or forests/farms around, I would recommend having a car.

We booked for our anniversary and it was exactly as we had hoped. A little bit of luxury, solitude, and relaxation. The food was excellent (although a little slow in the restaurant). The room was very comfortable and spacious. The grounds are delightful for a walk (we did 4km, but there are shorter walks). The staff were all friendly and helpful and the relaxing back massage was amazing! We made a good decision to eat in the Brasserie on the second night as it was more relaxed.

Forest Row has some lovely independent boutique shops, restaurants and there are other lovely places to visit nearby too. Ashdown Forest has many walks and a visit to Pooh Corner and Pooh Bridge is a must ... or it always is for us!

Property is situated along the road but was still quiet.
Property is situated along the road but was still quiet. Beds are soft & comfortable. The owner was also very hospitable. It is actually a property with so much potential. Unfortunately, the owner doesn't have staff to help him provide full service such as keeping the bar & kitchen going. Hence, it is basically a place to sleep. Not a problem though since there are café's just outside of the hotel.
Disliked · Sad that it cannot provide full service due to lack of staff. I can imagine how wonderful it would have been.

The Forest Row has a lot of rooms, mine was clean and well presented, the staff was very helpful, plenty of parking.
I was part of a large motorcycle group touring the area, so being a large group can be difficult, but all was accommodated for without hesitation.

I loved the tradition and the character of the hotel.
I loved the tradition and the character of the hotel. It was full of history and the location in the forest looked beautiful, although we just stayed the one night and then travelled to near by family in Haywards Heath !! However, the hotel is in need of urgent upgrade of curtains , carpets etc. The hotel looks very tired.
An adequately spacious room with a comfortable bed, working television and wifi, kettle and coffee-making facilities. While there was initially only one towel and no milk, this was rectified immediately on visiting the receptionist. Given that the cost of the room was half that of the usual hotel chains, 2 star accommodation was expected and that was what we got. Unlike some others, we found all lights, radiators etc were fully functional.
The room was clean and I appreciated that I could turn the radiator on and that immediately it became warm!
I also appreciated, that the Hotelmanager organized a room for me where the noises from festivities weren't loud and I could sleep well. That the key-card also is used for monitoring the light is very useful.
It is a historic building with his own history and is very british.
The room was nice. One could say a spruce up would be good but on the whole it was good Food served in the restaurant was very good. Full English breakfast was excellent. Very good choice for those wanting continental breakfast.
The hotel was traditional Old English full of character with a modern twist where needed. Great position on the A22 and good sized car park.
The mattress itself was comfortable. There's a hot water heater in the room with tea and shortbread cookies! The hotel was on the bus line and the stop was right outside. It had a nice garden outside. There was plenty of seating for eating, drinking, and waiting. The shower pressure is great. The staff were overall friendly people and kind.
A great stay at The Swan in Forest Row. Such a lovely area to explore - locally for the shops, as well as the beautiful countryside and Pooh Corner etc :)
A nice pub / restaurant. We only had a drink in the evening here and breakfast in the morning, but the breakfast was great, so I'm sure the food in the evenings is too.
Accessibility was a major setback, getting to work and town was quite a Herculean task as the bus from the high street was often delayed or never showed up. And the taxis, cab or uber and bolt were not available at forest row, So these made quick moving around really dificult and logistics quite expensive.
The Brambletye Hitel was in the perfect location for my travel needs in the very lovely village of Forest Row. The staff were so accomodating and when I had to switch rooms they went to all stops to make sure I had a comfortable second room and reimbursed me the difference in the room prices.
My visit was partly nostalgic ( I lived in Forest Row 80 years ago) and partly fact finding. The central location was therefore very useful.
The service and attitude of all your staff was exemplary and the food at every meal was excellent. The chef should be congratulated.
Very nice small cosy hotel ! Very clean , good size rooms ! Good location too , restaurants and bar around ! Very cosy English style restaurant with friendly staff and good food , cold beer and nice staff ! Highly recommend
I really enjoyed the coziness is the hotel. I feel the whole building has a lot of history and has seen a lot over it's many years of service. The staff was lovely and the food served at the restaurant was delicious!
Undisturbed stay, Thought the price of breakfast £12 pp rather expensive.
The hotel rooms were clean and tidy, But the rooms are looking a little tied ,In Need of decorating including carpet replacements.
The hotel is in a good relaxing sleep area , with good access to shops. Hotel is well equipped with everything you need to have a good stay and adjoining bar is great. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Nice location, no problems parking nearby for free. Village was accessible on foot and shops open late, with several pubs. Ashdown Forest and the High Weald are nearby for walking and relaxing.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the room was clean, spacious and with a comfortable bed. Forest Row had a few places to have a breakfast and evening meal, besides the pub.
We had dinner at the brasserie which was nice. Breakfast in the hotel was very good, not busy and a good amount of choice. The restaurant and breakfast staff were all very friendly.
