We stayed at South Lodge for 2 nights, as a weekend break for a wedding anniversary. The whole experience was simply first class. From the very smooth booking process (initially online but then over the phone for credit card details), to the nice surprise of a free room upgrade at arrival, to the lovely room with views over the Downs...

My husband and I wanted to take a break from London and came here for the weekend. Even though it was during the winter and quite cold and rainy, it was still beautiful and relaxing. It is a short drive from Brighton if you want to get off the grounds, but I imagine during the warmer months you wouldn't want... More

Our suite was faultless and very comfortable it had a steam room and even had a pillow menu. We had dinner in the restuarant which far excelled our expectations,... More

I took a colleague for my second stay - in order for us to write a book each! The 90 acres were in full flower (from 4 May) and delightful to take an excercise break in. The food was fantastic - the bar, the camellia restaurant (and what camellias!) and the Michelin starred Pass. And best of all - staying... More

This place used to be the best ever. Whether it was afternoon tea, lunch or dinner it was always flawless and although pricey it was worth it. Unfortunately it seems to have gone downhill rapidly. We always went there for a special occasion or if we needed to treat ourselves for no particular reason, but on the last two occasions... More

A truly super experience. The staff are so attentive and polite, and the quality of service is some of the very best we have received. We could not fault the room, and the views over the downs were stunning. A great place to access Brighton, and escape back to luxury.

I stayed at the South Lodge for the third time and it was the usual combination of friendly, excellent discreet service, AMAZING food and a gloriously comfortable bedroom. This time we ate in the cellar which is the private dining version of the Camelia restaurant... It did not disappoint!
