The price seemed quite reasonable on the website, so we took a gamble and booked a night at South Lodge Hotel, Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. From the first impressions, pulling up along the long drive to the front of the hotel it was clear this was going to be a nice hotel. We were greeted by warm friendly staff in... more

We recently spent one night at the hotel after our son and daughter-in-laws wedding reception. The service provided at the reception was exceptional, along with the meal which was great. The staff were attentive yet unobstrusive. Our bedroom was fantastic, big enough to hold a large party! It was beautifully appointed with a superb bathroom and wonderful view. Couldn't fault... more

Just got back from an overnight stay at the South Lodge. Excellent hotel if a little expensive. My room was large, with everything you might need during your stay. Huge comfortable bed, complimentary selection of teas and coffee, marble bathroom with the most unusual shower. There was a DVD player in the room and the hotel held a large library... more

We stayed at the hotel overnight at the beginning of the month. We had a room in the old stable block, which was very unusual and had a 4 poster bed. The room was very luxurious, with a very comfortable bed, and a wonderful bathroom. There was a wedding going on in the hotel that evening, but we were not... more

We went for a meal at the new Pass restaurant. it was fantastic and I would recommend this to anyone. The food, service, wine and surroundings were unbeatable. This is an incredible treat and I will be coming back. The staff are young and vibrant and the price is expensive but when you come to pay it feels very reasonable... more

We booked this as we had booked a trip and meal on the Bluebell Railway, and wanted a reasonably local hotel to stay at afterwards. As we booked in advance, we had to pay full rate - but it was worth every penny. It has just had a £2 million pound revamp and is beautifully designed in every way. We... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for one night in August and were quite disappointed, mainly with the service. We booked a junior suite with dinner, bed and breakfast via golfbreaks.com, which offers good rates at this hotel. The hotel is a short drive from Mannings Heath Golf Club - a nice club with two 18-hole golf courses... more

I visited South Lodge in 2005 for a big family lunchtime meal (a 50th birthday celebration). Our group was large, 14 people, and we were given a separate room so that we could all sit at one table - we had 4 waiters to ourselves! The food was excellent, rather fancier than what I normally go out to eat. We... more

My partner and I have been staying at this hotel twice a year for the past 6 years. We keep going back because we are yet to find anywhere else within an hour of London to escape to and relax. We use our overnight stays for complete indulgence. Hot tubs/Rain Showers/ 4 Posters/ Amazing Room Service/Complimentary Cookies and Port/Fine Dining!... more
