The old Forge is an old building but very well maintained and we were very comfortable . We appreciated our host's generosity and the delicious cooked breakfast.
We were the only guests there as the hosts had to leave the next morning so had not taken more bookings. In deference to our early booking and the fact we were from Australia and possibly in the middle of our trip, they let our booking stand. We really appreciated this.
A real positive for this accommodation is that there is parking at the premises, and it is free. (Often "parking available " means paid parking in a council car park.)
Situated in the heart of Hailsham, The Crown Hotel offers a vibrant cafe, traditional bar and modern bedrooms, and is only a 20-minute drive from Eastbourne.

Upon booking breakfast was included and as it was only £100 for the night for 3, so I wasn't sure what the quality would be like. However, I was very impressed the cooked breakfast was lovely and the concierge at all times was very attentive and catered to our every need.
Set in Selmeston, 9.2 km from Glyndebourne Opera House, The Rose Cottage Inn offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

We were walking the South Downs way and the location was a long way off the path, but a lovely quiet location with a beautiful view of the sunset. Breakfast was lovely with friendly service. Cabin was small but comfortable and great value for money.
Hailsham is ok but we were there to visit family. We like Hilliers Garden Centre, which is nearby, for lunch and shopping. Also close to Eastbourne. We like Birling Gap, which is a NT, 20 minutes drive away.

Hailsham is small but has quite a few independent shops (as well as 3 supermarkets)and nice cafes (AJs does a wide range of coffees and smoothies) and a very good Indian restaurant in the High Street. It is the perfect place to stay for getting to places of interest. Drusillas zoo is a 10 minute drive away. Alfriston village which is the oldest village in Sussex is 15 minutes by car. From here you can do beautiful walks on the South Downs Way or walk along the stream (national trust trail) from behind the Clergy House. Hailsham is cheap to stay in and use as a base for visiting the many local places of interest.

Off road. Set back in a nice garden space, the hosts live in the adjacent house always available but never intrusive, lovely garden planting, places to sit around the lawn, a patio and chickens in a coop, really enjoyed the space felt cozy and secluded. You do need a car, there is a small village shop but also a supermarket within two miles, the local pub does tasty meals

Hailsham is a quiet market town some miles inland from.the resort towns of Eastbourne and Brighton.
As a town it doesn't offer much in the way of tourist attractions,but near to Herstmonceux observatory science park,some lovely Sussex villages ,and history Hastings about 20 miles away.

We loved the countryside, surrounded by nature.The relaxing atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Everyone noticed the tranquility and felt at peace there. A lovely seating area outside to watch the beauty of our surroundings.
All the rooms were lovely. Well equipped and extremely comfortable. There was a laundry room too which was a very useful space. The kitchen was very well equipped too. Lovely lighting in the lounge, and dining area. Separate entrance to rest of the house. Parking outside was very convenient. Hosts were excellent in every way. When we contacted them nothing was too much trouble. They recommended a couple of restaurants that were excellent.

We stay in this area when we are going to Glyndebourne - so we don't visit it for its own sake. It is convenient for opera-goers, and handy for Eastbourne, for local attractions such as Herstmonceux castle and observatory or Bluebell railway. As a town there is nothing remarkable. We have found some nice pubs and places to eat nearby, such as the Village Shop in Upper Dicker and the Berwick Inn. Hailsham is handy for exploring the South Downs.
This is a first class property, very well appointed and with a great deal of space. We particularly liked the welcoming touches by our host Jane, including a few essentials and snacks. The property was warm, clean and had all the equipment and facilities one could want. The quiet location was great for walking the dog from the doorstep and yet close enough to the Hailsham bypass to get out and explore easily. The Downs and coast are just a short drive away.
Hotel was right in middle of town so good location. Shops, supermarkets and leisure centre all virtually on the doorstep.
Hotel was clean and tidy, room was spacious, breakfast was lovely, never had meals so cannot say.
Staff was cheery and very helpful, went above and beyond to help you.
Thank you Fraser and Jolly.
A big 10 stars from us.
We will be back next time we are in area again.
The staff were friendly but unfortunately, my bedroom was situated next to an alleyway leading to car park and there was some kind of loading or delivering going on from about 4 am. Also very noisy when guys coming back to the hotel who were obviously working nearby...slamming of doors, shouting etc.
Apart from this, the room was lovely and clean and the staff great.
Host was very helpful, made the whole stay very relaxed and enjoyable. Breakfast was exceptional with service to attention and care I have only received in 4 star hotels. Room very clean, with decor especially bathroom unique and high quality. Very quiet and relaxing area and transition for Covid-19 compliance was exceptional.
The property is in an ideal location for staying in the area near gun hill for weddings. Close enough to get a bus or a taxi to the station as well as to the venue. Clare was an exceptional host and the room was spotless. Excellent breakfast from her and Gavin and I felt very attended to.
The owners of this property are very nice. The room is clean, full of everything that should have in the hotel. The bed is very comfortable. The room is in a modern style. I love the big mirror. The water pressure in the toilet is good. The area around this property is amazing.
Good parking adjacent to the hotel. The hosts were very friendly. The hotel itself was spotless.
There was a plentiful supply of biscuits and several options of drinks in the rooms. Very comfortable bed. Fresh fruit and croissants as well as usual fare for breakfast.
Great stay , Landlord very welcoming. Easy parking, Room was superb, large enough for a family.
Facilities great with a separate dressing room area.
Super clean, warm and cosy. WIFI great connection.
I would highly recommend this hotel.
Everything... Great location, staff really friendly. We decided to have dinner at the hotel and it didn't disappoint. We had a family room and it was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would recommend and would go back. Thank you
The room was spacious and comfortable. Very good value for money. The breakfast was also really good. We got to Eastbourne by the sea in about 20 minutes from the hotel. The staff was friendly. I would use it again.
It was an excellent B&B in a lovely location. An excellent breakfast with friendly service. A nice touch was having fresh milk available for tea - I hate having to use UHT in my tea as you do in most hotels.
We had an excellent diner in the hotel, for which we were requested to inform the owner of our choices so they could properly prepare. Well, they did exceed our expectations!
