Unfortunately we stayed in a Chateau in France the night before so…. This one didn’t compare well to its French counterpart. I guess it’s ok for England.

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.
I had a small but lovely, clean and decorated well double bedroom. There was a smart TV which is always a bonus allowing you to sign into Netflix/Amazon instead of the usual boring free view channels. The wi-fi was free and strong, the full English breakfast was fantastically tasty and the assistant manager a really helpful and nice lady. Overall a perfect place to stay, dog friendly and great location, would definitely recommend and stay here again. 10/10
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.
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.
Room large and comfortable, beds comfortable, plenty of towels etc for two guests. Sizeable car park, away from the main road. Receptionist friendly and helpful, with suggestions of where to get breakfast. Quiet room at back of hotel entirely insulated from any sound of the live music in the bar.
The Roebuck location is so close to all the best areas of the forest, your just a short distance away from many great walks and the town of forest row. All the staff at the hotel and very welcoming and polite, I would definitely stay here again. The food was also very nice and great value for money.
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.
Convenient location, easy to find, plenty of parking. Evening meal was good although Greene King seem to make no attempt to offer any local variation such as a Sussex wine or Kent cherries. Staff were pleasant and helpful.
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!
Friendly reception, clean room. For £57, it was excellent value. Yes, they don't like to switch the lights on (I had to use my torch to navigate to the stairs), but it was a nice, quiet and well situated hotel.
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.
Really comfy bed and very friendly staff. Lovely little local pub/hotel.
They lost gas at breakfast and the staff were visibly stressed. They dealt with it the best way they could in the circumstances
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.
GREAT HISTORICAL HOTEL IN A CHARMING TOWN. KIND HELPFUL & HOSPITABLE STAFF. WE APPRECIATED THE TRADITIONAL LAYOUT WITH THE TWO QUEEN BEDS AND ENJOYED THE TOWN.
Great position of hotel for visiting friends in the area. Good to have its own private car park. Nice sized room and the shower was good power and nice and hot.
