After staying at an old English inn in Suffolk many years ago and had a very disappointing experience we were not expecting too much from this hotel. What a pleasant surprise. Everything about this hotel for our one night stay was just perfect. The staff are really friendly and all multi task. The room was very clean and comfortable with... More

Although a pleasant environment our meal was spoilt on a couple of points. 1. The bar tender's manner was the most off-hand I have ever experienced. Initially I thought it might have been a one-off but a fellow diner when walking past our table, unprovoked, also stated that the service was shocking. 2. I ordered a salmon and prawn salad... More

Friendly hotel just outside Forest Row with ample parking. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the food was excellent value for money if you opt for the special offers. Breakfast looked wonderful but the hot food wasn't kept hot enough. Recommended as a stopping off point on the way to the south coast.

The Roebuck is not actually in Forest Row itself (indeed there are some cheaper options in the village), but it is a solid choice with free wifi and decent rooms. Some communal areas could do with a bit of TLC and there is no lift, so those with mobility problems will need to say so ... but its a good... More

Friendly staff. Clean warm rooms good for our mid January stay when temperatures were plummeting. Good choice of breakfast mains. Excellent value for money. Restaurant menu had a good choice and reasonably priced although did not eat there in the evening on this trip. A large lounge area with open fireplace welcomes residents and diners before eating.

Don't know how they create the ambience but it was so nice that we felt at home immediately, so much so, we didn't want to do anything except just have a few drinks and chill.

Stayed overnight in Sussex for weekend. Found roebuck hotel very clean and service great. Food for both evening meal and breakfast was excellent. Room was spacious - very clean and had everything you would need. With forest covered in snow the whole scene was idylic. Prices were spot on will certainly visit again next time we are in the area.
