Lovely location and house. Welcoming host.would recommend to anyone.

This is an outstanding 'b&b'. The house is delightfully decorated and furnished and stands in attractive, well tended gardens. There is ample parking space.The Sussex countryside context is splendid with good walks and interesting historic sites nearby.The room was very comfortable - spacious and well appointed, the breakfaststasty - a good choice available. I would strongly recommend Wartling Place.

What a wonderful relaxing stay. Rowena was so welcoming and helpful. She keeps a beautiful house and garden with excellent facilities, very comfortable bed and a delicious breakfast.Great location for us to explore local attractions. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely typical country house rooms and surrounds

The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The house - well stated and exquisitely comfortable. Rowena is a lovely keeper and breakfast was wonderful. The surrounding area is breathtaking with pastures and fields full of sheep and wildflowers.If there was one thing against it is its proximity to the road and road noise, which is rather heavily traveled during the day. Thankfully, hat noise falls away in the evening leaving an intimately quiet peaceful space. Highly recommend if you are looking for the quintessential English country holiday.

Stayed for 2 nights, our room was beautiful, light and airy. Looking over immaculate wonderful gardens. Very relaxing stay and breakfast was excellent with good produce. Rowena was very helpful with knowledge of the area and places to visit and eat. Her staff member assisting in the house was very polite and personable, a real credit to the country house, we will certainly visit again.

Rowena was very helpful with suggestions on where to eat.The bed was extra large and the room quiet with a nice outlook.

Lovely location, Beautiful room. Rowena and Barry made usfeel very welcome and ensured we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We will definitely stay again when in the area. Highly recommend Wartling Place.

We booked the self catering 2 bedroom cottage. Absolutely perfect for us.The location was very convenient to Herstmonceux Castle and shops and restaurants of Hailsham and Eastbourne.We would definitely recommend.Rowena was a gracious host.

Rowena is an amazing hostess, and we did not feel like paying guests but were treated like friends who had come to visit.Our room was spacious and the freshly cooked breakfasts were wonderful.Rowena even loaned us camp chairs and other necessary items so we could attend a picnic.There are many attractions and historical places to see in the area, and Rowena was very helpful in giving us detailed information so we could make our choices.We definitely hope to return and would highly recommend Wartling Place Country House.

A warm welcome when we arrived, our bedroom was immaculate and the freshly cooked breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay.

3 nights in a Superior King Room with breakfast. Comfortable room, large well-stocked bathroom. Good breakfast made to order. Lots of special help from Rowena for dinners and attractions. We would stay here again.

Nice room, great breakfast, lovely host very informative and helpful.

A truly wonderful place, exactly what you would expect to experience in an English country house. Although located close to the village road, the place is extremely quiet and has a gorgeous garden overlooking the surrounding fields. The house is very stylish and exquisitely decorated with period furnishings and lovely prints on the walls. Our superior room (with a large bathroom and a view onto the garden and the small car park) was very comfortable and finely decorated as well with period furniture pieces and artefacts. The bed was large and very comfortable. Both house and room were extremely clean. The breakfast is good, however mostly "English" and for "egg-lovers". It is served in a large downstairs room looking out onto flowers and butterflies; you have to share the table with other guests. Rowena, the charming owner of the place, makes every effort to make guests happy and comfortable. Certainly one of the finest British places where we have been staying in recent years.

We were greeted upon arrival by Rowena, who made us most welcome into a home environment and with a beautiful garden to walk around in. The breakfast was the best ever for us, with fresh fruit and home-made jams and cooked to our personal order. The beds were large and comfortable, in this peaceful country house and we were able to relax and enjoy the open countryside.

Beautiful house and gardens with very attentive owners who make you feel so welcome.This really is a 100% great place to stay for comfort and cleanliness with breakfast.

very pleasant stay, highly recommended

Rowena is an attentive host and makes you feel vary welcome.A great place to stay, our room was large with an ensuite bathroom.Plenty of interesting places to visit within easy reach or you can just walk in the countryside. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice room with extra large bed. Country house with lovely gardens in extensive countryside setting. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfasts made to order.

I have already described being at Wartling Place as staying with friends who have a large comfortable home in delightful surroundings.I think that just about describes it perfectly.Rowena’s hosting was friendly and involved, breakfast was fresh and nourishing, and our room was spacious and attractive.Furthermore, I would describe the overall experience as excellent value for money.

I used Wartling Place a few ago on a regular overnight stop. Nothing has changed, beautiful venue, lovely proprietors, great experience and marvellous food. We'll be back.

All perfect, clean, friendly

Our stay couldn’t have been better. There is nothing to dislike at this place. Rowena is a wonderful host who has lots of humor and easygoing. Everything was spotless and the room excellent. You could not wish for anything else.

An absolutely great experience, hotel rooms very grand, maintained beautifully, Rowena the proprietor was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for her she booked eating places as well as cabs to take us about. She recommended various places to visit. The gardens with the hotel were extremely well maintained. Would recommend this highly, not to mention the lovely breakfast. She made our stay very enjoyable

We were made very welcome during our 3 night stay. Very nice and comfortable room and bed. Good choice of food at breakfast.

Wartling Place is the perfect place to stay to enjoy your trip to the English countryside . The rooms are charming, comfortable and clean. Rowena and her staff are welcoming and very helpful and to top it off the breakfast is delicious. The location is perfect to visit the many small English villages and of course Brighton.

A beautiful country house in immaculate grounds and offering B&B stays? Surely not? But, yes indeed!What a delight it was to stay here for my wife and I and friends.Top quality in every respect'Beautiful rooms, perfect breakfasts, delightful host. Can only say thank you!

Large clean room, comfortable bed , quiet surroundings and wonderful breakfast. Helpful host who suggested very good restaurants - thank you Rowena.

My recent stay at Wartling Place Country House was once again simply outstanding.The House is situated on beautiful grounds.The host Rowena is exceptionally thoughtful, resourceful and welcoming, anticipating guest needs. The beds and bedding are divine.The bedroom has been newly re-decorated with beautifully-chosen fabrics.And to top all of these wonderful attributes off, the breakfast choices are not only so delicious and plentiful that one doesn't need to eat for the rest of the day. Our breakfast was served with humour and charm.Five gold stars.

Lovely period house, in extensive gardens, with entertaining hosts. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Selection of breakfasts. Within easy striking distance of Hastings, Eastbourne, Battle and other places of interest.

We had an excellent 2 night stay with frineds at Wartling Place. Kind and thoughtful servce, very comfortable accomodation and delicious food. I would recommend Warting Place unreservedly

Very comfortable friendly and helpful accommodation in beautiful setting with great breakfast.

Well-appointed B&B in a rural location with beautiful gardens.Room was spacious, clean, and well provided with all necessities.Breakfast was delicious with a range of options.Highly recommended.

Rowena and Ellen were an absolute gem. Location is ideal to get to most places in Eastbourne. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

A very warm welcome to a beautiful country house.Everything was very clean.The bed was very comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. Definitely recommend.

If you are visiting Sussex: This is the place to stay! Absolutely beautiful, huge stylish rooms , a peaceful garden, excellent breakfast and everybody so friendly! It is a bit like a fairytale! Will come back for sure!

Beautiful gardens with far reaching views across the Sussex Downs. Friendly helpful owner. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely weekend at Wartling Place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It is a lovely building in a super location. We were blessed to have a weekend of endless sunshine. Breakfast was fantastic. Rowena and Ellen were super hosts. Highly recommended.

We booked via the Glyndebourne recommended list as somewhere close by to the opera festival. The hotel is really a bit too far away for us to use for this purposeagain but it did offer is a very comfortable stay. The room was beautiful and overlooked stunning gardens.

We stayed at Wartling Country House for a local wedding and I can’t rate this B&B more highly. The property and grounds are beautiful, the rooms are gorgeous, clean and comfortable (and smell amazing!) the breakfast was exceptional and last but not least the hosts are wonderful. Rowena truly went above and beyond for us whilst we stayed and it made our weekend a brilliant one. Would absolutely recommend to anybody wanting a weekend away.

Delightful host and colleagues so friendly and helpfulLovely place stayed in self catering cottage which was perfectBreakfast fabulous

Beautiful hold country house in a beautiful location in the countryside. Host Rowena was exceptionally friendly. Lovely breakfast served in the house dining room overlooking teh flower beads. Very quiet rooms. beautifully furnished. Cant fault anything.

Een heerlijk verblijf van twee dagen in Wartling place. Een goed onderhouden en mooi aangekleed "old vicary" in een rustige landelijke omgeving. Het park rondom het huis is fantastisch en onze gastvrouw wist er uitgebreid over te vertellen. De kamers zijn ruim en voorzien van prima matrassen. Het ontbijt kon niet beter en werd bereid naar ieders voorkeur en hoeveelheid. Wij voelden er ons thuis en kunnen het aan iedereen aanbevelen.

We had such a good time at Wartling Place.The welcome was warm and helpful, and the accommodation and facilities outstanding.Rowena is a great fund of local information from places to visit and where to eat.She even makes the table bookings!We enjoyed our time hugely and will certainly return.Thank you Rowena and team for a great time.

We enjoyed a lovely short break at Wartling Place. It is a beautiful and well presented property, set in lovely grounds. Rowena was very welcoming and we were very pleased with our spacious and very comfortable accommodation.We enjoyed a very good English breakfast on both mornings and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

We enjoyed a 3 day break at the property and Rowena was a wonderful and thoughtful host.The room was spotlessly clean and with a very comfortable super king bed. Breakfast is served in a beautiful room overlooking the amazing garden. We will definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful couple of days at Wartling Place. The bed was super comfy and the room is exactly as the picture shows. The garden is lovely too and in the evening you can see the rabbits play. The breakfast is really good and the host is simply lovely. I would recommend this place anytime.

Great to meet you both too !

This has been a wonderful experience in a great country house. Rooms are spacious and very cozy, great beds! And the gardens are big and green, oh my, and beautifully maintained. The diamond here is Rowena, the owner-manager: witty every day and impeccable service, keeping an eye on every detail in a very kind way. We were with a group of four; all want to come back. Very refreshing!!

Response

Hey it was a pleasure to have you guys stay with us at Wartling Place.Till next time.......

A warm welcome to lovely home. Accommodation is welcoming,clean and very comfortable. Rooms well appointed with lovely bedding. We slept so well. Breakfast was a delight,fresh quality produce. Our host Rowena is very pleasant and was at hand to give us some tourist ideas for our stay. Perfectly based B&B for touring the area.

Response

Thank you for your kind comments, lovely to see you both

What a fantastic location! Really lovely accommodation, ideal for a weekend break or a longer stay. Rowena and Barry are wonderful hosts, and maintain the property with love and attention to detail. The gardens of Wartling Place are a delight - extensive and very soothing.

Lovely place to stay, great hosts, cant wait to go back in the summer.

This is a beautiful high end B&B set in the rolling countryside of Sussex . The host Rowena is very friendly and welcoming providing extremely comfortable accommodation in a lovely home and the most amazing breakfast Nothing is too much trouble for Rowena and we thouroughly enjoyed our stay , we will return and I hope many others do to . It is so convenient for many of the Sussex towns but it’s tranquil and peaceful away from the crowds , just perfect Thankyou

Host was brilliant. Made us very welcome. Breakfast was super

The bedroom was spacious andelegantly furnished with two sash windows to provide a bright and airy ambience with views to the adjacent churchyard. The king size bed was very comfortable and the quiet location of the house ensured a deep and restful sleep.The room contained adequate storage space in a wardrobe and two drawer chests either side of the bed.The en-suite bathroom was very spacious offering a deep bath with overhead shower, a vanity unit and wc. Breakfast was served in a large elegantly furnished dining room on a long table shared with other guests which stimulated conversation and shared local knowledge. The maitre d’hotel was very attentive and contributed to the breakfast conversation with local knowledge. There was a wide choice of both continental and English breakfast choices which were all of a high standard. A very useful innovation was that guests were allocated staggered dining times so that no one waited to be served which resulted in a smooth service. A perfect destination for a spoiled and relaxing stay.

Warm welcome from Rowena, shown to our beautiful room.Beautiful gardens and views are amazing.We settled in and got our bearings thanks to Rowena who point out good places to visit and eat.The room was extremely comfortable, top quality bed linen and good tea coffee facilities with fresh milk.Breakfast is in a beautiful room and for now, staggered in in 15 mins slots. Lots of choice and all delicious.We will definitely return and would recommend if you are looking for a quiet, gentle pace for a few days.So glad yo have found a B&B with the feel of a 5 star hotel.Thank you Rowena and her team.

We had a lovely stay at Wartling Place Country House, our room was really lovely & spacious and overlooked the garden.Rowena the host was really nice, helpful & informative. Breakfastwas excellent would recommend staying at Wartling Place.

Excellent location, comfort, breakfast and host. Highly recommended

We had a most enjoyable couple of nights here - spacious rooms, warm welcome, excellent breakfasts, very well looked after.

We stayed in self catering cottage. Very quiet in beautiful gardens. Cottage had well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and two bedrooms. Our grandchildren really enjoyed staying here and would definitely love to stay again. Rowena greeted us and recommended places to visit and to eat. A very enjoyable holiday.

We visit this area mainly to see relatives and this is our second stay at Wartling Place.We could not ask for anything better in every respect - the room, breakfast,garden, helpful and friendly owner. Convenient for so many places of interest and a good selection of pubs We've never sampled other restaurants.We enjoy the company of other guests round the breakfasttable.Well deserving of 5 stars.

This was our first stay at a B&B as we usually self cater or choose a hotel and it was brilliant. Rowena was the perfect host and it was so lovely to chat to the other guests over breakfast and share information about places to visit and places to eat. The room was great and very clean and we had such a relaxing break would highly recommend this for a short stay.

A little tricky to find- thanks to the Sat Nav - but when we did we were warmly greeted by our lovely host. Rowena made us feel most welcome and was happy to offer recommendations for dining out. We stayed in the four poster room which was elegant and very spacious with a lovely view over the well maintained gardens. A deliciousbreakfast was served in the stunning drawing room with careful attention to detail. A long dining table was shared by all guests which gave a lovely opportunity to meet and talk about our travels - if this isn’t your thing there is ample space to enjoy your breakfast in your own thoughts too.We had a lovely stay at Wartling Place, the peaceful, relaxing setting was just what we needed to escape the stresses of everyday life.

Ignoring the huge price increase in UK accommodation due to the pandemic, our self catering cottage was well equipped, modern, clean and had everything we needed. The boiler looked like it could do with updating though.Bedrooms were of a good size, lounge had a strange layout with oversized sofas. Basic TV with a few channels. Bathroom was near unusable for me at 6'2" and very difficult to help our child get ready for bed in. I can't imagine how four people would manage in the accommodation. Overall we felt it was a bit style over substance. Better use of the space could have been achieved with more thought. The grounds were beautiful however with manicured lawns and fruit trees. Views of the observatory, valley etc.The welcome we received wasn't the warmest. Our host was more concerned with telling us what we can't do and what was broken at the property. This was after questioning whether we were capable of looking after our child who we left sleeping in the car on arrival. I expect a host to give a warm welcome and ask how our journey was etc. The welcome we received was patronising, un-enthused and a little snooty. Wouldn't return I'm afraid.

Hello againThank you for taking the time to leave a review of our self catering accommodation, our prices have not changed for the last two years, and we haven\\\'t sought to take any advantage of the recent pandemic, as many have.I am sorry you thought you did not receive a warm enough welcome, and mortified that you think, I implied or questioned your ability to care for your child?!As I showed you around I did indeed point out the wardrobe catch had been newly broken, and did ask that standing water not be left on the oiled kitchen worktops, the later being a polite request.We do actually regularly have friends and families booking the cottage, Indeed a family following you, with two 9 year old boys and one parent in equal, possibly greater height, have already rebooked for the October half term.I\\\'m glad you thought it well equipped, modern, clean and well equipped yes, the cottage is compact and when we updated is last year we thought ...we had it made a good and comfortable spacehey ho.Patronising, un-enthused and snooty.. well sadly, that\\\'s a firstfor me I must admit :(Wishing all ofyou all bestRowena

Rowena was welcoming, considerate and practical from the first phone call contact to our departure. The bedroom, breakfast room (delicious breakfast), house, grounds .. all delightful to be in.

Excellent in all respects.

Hi Rowena, Linda and I had a very enjoyable stay, once again a lovely comfortable room, excellent breakfast, and as always we find you and your staff very easy to talk to. Welook forward to seeing you again soon. Adrian & Linda. Xx

Stayed for a couple of nights - really lovely period building set in amazing gardens - Nice clean rooms, friendly host and staff, great breakfast, good extras available - all you need really for a perfect stay!!

We had the pleasure of staying at Wartling Place for a weekend break and very much enjoyed the lovely room and hose and grounds.Rowenna and the team were really friendly and very helpful during our stay.The breakfast was fabulous.

From the friendly and warm welcome, to the beautiful room with the lovely view and the delicious breakfasts, we couldn't have asked for more from our short break.I highly recommend this b&b and would love to return in the future.

Our stay was excellent in every way. A lovely house with comfortable, luxurious rooms, beautiful gardens, and wonderful breakfasts. Rowena was a warm and welcoming hostess, so helpful in every way. The area was lovely and full of interesting places to visitWe had a most enjoyable break at a time when we really needed it. Thank you Rowena for everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this immaculate B&B in the middle of the East Dussex countryside.The staff were helpful, the room comfortable and the breakfast delicious and plentiful.With a beautiful neat garden and opposite a lovely church, we will be back.

This is the most beautiful environment in which you can not help but relax; both the room and the grounds were outstandingly but comfortably grand; the welcome was genuinely warm; and the breakfasts delicious- thank you Rowena ! This is the kind of stay you wish the ones you love would enjoy so I am telling my nearest and dearest to visit.

We had a lovely two nights in the self-catering cottage - two adults and two older teenagers. The cottage was well appointed and the beds were extremely comfortable. The table areas outside was great for meals- we used it for both breakfast and in the evening. Just to advise there is no wi-fi - but there are games so this forced our teenagers to play boggle with us!

Just returned from a few days staying at Wartling Place Country House. Had a very nice stay, house is lovely as is the garden. The owner, Rowena, made us very welcome. Breakfast was included in the price and was very good. Would certainly recommend this B & B.

Thank you Rowena for looking after us during our stay in your amazing house.The en-suite bedrooms were clean and comfortable.The breakfast choice was amazing and cooked well with very generous portion sizes!Nothing was too much trouble for you - you were always so kind and looked out for your guestsThank you

Lovely room, good food, very welcoming and friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We had a very warm welcome from Rowena and was shown to our room after being shown where dining room was etc. The room was beautiful, big and airy which was appreciated as it was a very warm week. Breakfast was exceptional and set us up for the day. Nothing was too much trouble and our young waitress in the morning was lovely too. We will definitely stay there again.

Really enjoyed our stay in this relaxing and beautiful country house.Our four poster room was full of character with fantastic views over the beautiful garden.Breakfasts were a joy with plenty of choice and quality.Rowena was a perfect host with lots of useful tips on the area.We felt very Covid safe as plenty of precautions in place without being overbearing.We had a fabulous time in a beautiful part of the country.

wartling place was a dream, and made our weekend break perfect. rowena was a perfect hostess , our room was gorgeous and the breakfasts to die for.the grounds, with views over the downs, were breathtaking.

Charming home where you're warmly welcomed to enjoy the comforts of a family home. Clean and cosy room with lovely views over the extensive gardens and churchyard. Rowena is a pleasingly natural and ever attentive host. We will certainly return and recommend to others.

Very comfortable with friendly attentive service

This was a last minute booking just before the second lockdown and what a timely escape! The setting was so relaxing, Rowena the perfect host, a breakfast to die for - who could want more! Definitely coming back.

Been looking forwaerd to this break since May and not disappointed. Service was excellent, the room extremely comfortable and clean. Covid regulations adhered to by the letter. Take care Rowena, All good wishes. Adrian & Linda.

Had a lovely stay, room was spotless, breakfast is served in an impressive dining room, with fabulous selection of fresh produce.Very hospitable host who was happy Recommend places to visit and eat.Would highly recommend.Thank you for your hospitality and letting us stay in your wonderful home.

Fantastic host...very helpful.Beautiful spacious and sunny room. Peacefully quiet and great location. Would def recommend and stay again.

Lovely country manor with a very hospitable owner. Splendid room with a view. Very interesting interior and a huge garden.

Our second time here, and we want to come back again: brilliant hospitality and service by Rowena (thank you!), very helpful and attentive. Clean and cosy rooms and hallways inside, very green and beautiful outside. Fantastic breakfasts. Very close to Herstmonceux castle, Eastbourne, Battle, Hastings, etc. with a variety of nice attractions and restaurants. Highly recommended!

I selected Wartling Place Country House for a short break because it had excellent ratings on Tripadvisor and I'm pleased to say that these ratings were accurate. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our five night stay in this fine mansion surrounded by beautiful gardens.We were given the four-poster room, which was very quiet and dark at night, so sleep quality was excellent. The room itself was huge and so was the bathroom, all of which was a bonus.The owner---Rowena---is a very likeable lady and it was fun talking to her at breakfast, while planning the day, as she is very knowledgeable on local matters. Breakfast itself was totally adequate and a rare pleasure for me as I treated myself to smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.Would we go back ?Yes, most definitely if we wanted to stay in that part of Sussex again.

Breakfast was splendid and the setting very pleasant. We would be happy to go again

This is a lovely place with lovely hosts. Very welcoming with an excellent breakfast. Great recommendations for dining out were provided in advance to enable online reviewing and booking before we arrived. Would recommend anyone to stay at Wartling Place.

Thank you to the wonderful hostess that made our stay a relaxing inspiring treat

We enjoyed the comfort, friendliness, lovely accommodation and excellent breakfasts!

We stayed for four nights and had a lovely break. Rowena served fantastic breakfasts and was relaxed but attentive. A great place to explore the area.

A lovely host, wonderful surroundings, clean and spacious room, comfortable bed and a hearty breakfast.....what more do you need?

Wartling Place is an absolute gem. You will not be disappointed and I would highly recommended! We stayed in the cottage which was perfect for a young family ( 2 adults, a 7 and 9 year old). The cottage was decorated to a high standard, very comfortable beds and your children will not be bored with a huge garden to run around.

We spent three nights at Wartling Place and found it very comfortable and friendly. Breakfasts were plentiful and wholesome.

We really enjoyed our stay in Wartling Place. Rowena was really hospitable, friendly and helpful, the room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable with a lovely view of the garden. Breakfasts were excellent, with a lot of variety. Everything was done very safely as regards Covid - a lot of effort was put into making it super safe while having a really relaxing time. We will return! Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time. We explored Battle and we went to see the Seven Sisters. The houses is wonderful and Rowena isan extremely considerate and helpful host. We felt very relaxed on leaving.

Lovely home, fantastic breakfast and hospitality. Peaceful and relaxing. The hosts will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.We found the bed a little too hard, and since the closest pub is on lockdown you need to drive to the nearest restaurant, which is a hard thing at night in small country roads.But overall definitely a place worth a stay.

Wartling Place is one of the most beautiful houses we have stayed in. I travel regularly across Sussex and Hampshire and this B & B stands out as one of the best for its hospitality, location, food and the high standard of fabulous accommodation. Roweena and her husband were helpful, courteous, friendly and very welcoming. The garden is amazing!

We stayed in the cottage which had everything needed and was very comfortable. A great location for exploring the local area with lots to do within easy reach.

Lovely b and b, with charming owner, absolutely recommendable

Bed, breakfast and garden all lovely.Covid precautions sensible and well managed.

Response

Thank you for taking the time to add a review, it was a pleasure to have you and your family stay with us at Wartling Place.

We went for a family get together and occupied 3 of the 4 rooms in the main house, all of which were tastefully decorated and comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent, especially the home grown tomatoes, and our hostess Rowena was very welcoming making sure we had everything we wanted and booking restaurants for us. We also enjoyed sitting out in the gardens in the evenings. We would definitely recommend Wartling Place and are likely to return.

Response

Hello again,Heather. thank you for your kind review. it will be our pleasure to welcome you all back to Wartling Place in the future.

We stayed in the cottage at Wartling Place Country House to have a 'change of wallpaper' and chill for my birthday.The cottage was perfect for our needs - well furnished, a private patio area and gorgeous views perfect for watching the sunset.The kitchen had all we needed with good appliances and utensils to cook meals for four.The beds are comfy with lovely cotton sheets (which helped with the extreme heat we experienced!).Rowena and her husband were friendly and very accomodating hosts.

Response

Hi thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure to welcome you and your family to our cottage.

The cottage is fantastic with all the amenities one needs.Rowena and Barry were the perfect hosts.Nothing was too much.We were even given an abundance of fruit and vegetables from their garden.Plenty of great walks from the front gate.

Such a fantastic place to stay at: very green, spacious, clean, cozy, brilliant level of service, wonderful breakfasts (thanks to Rowena!), very quiet, lots of wildlife around close to great sightseeing (e.g., Observatory and Herstmonceux Castle) and very nice restaurants/pubs. Highly recommended.

Response

Lovely to meet you both, and enjoy such interesting conversations! Hope to see you again one dayRowena

Great Hosts, Great Surroundings, beautiful rooms, will defiantly stay again.

Excellent B&B in quiet location. Room was large and very comfortable but would opt for one of the lively four poster rooms next time. Roweena was a delightful host very knowledgeable and helpful even making our dinner reservations at the excellent Lamb Inn pub just across the road. Breakfasts are good, generous and varied. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay, great host, and lovely breakfast

Very comfortable and enjoyable. Wartling Place fitted to exactly what we were looking for. Hard to fault - quiet, spotlessly clean, comfy beds, excellent breakfast. One improvement idea - include hot chocolate sachets in the room as well as Tea & Coffee.

Much care has been taken in the tasteful decoration of this charming manor. The breakfasts are excellent and we met UK guests who keep coming back for weekend getaways. We can see why.

Never disappoints when we stay. Beautiful location, lovely staff and best breakfasts of all time.

We stayed at Wartling Place Country House from Oct. 28-30, 2019.The place was beautiful, clean and welcoming.Rowena is a lovely hostess and makes a beautiful english breakfast and amazing french press coffee.We will definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to be back in the area.

We were delighted by the warm welcome, well appointed clean and cosy room, fantastic recommendations (i.e. the pub over the road) and great breakfasts.This fantastic B&B does not disappoint.Wonderfully peaceful and relaxing.We'll be back!

Lovely welcome - clean comfortable room - pub across the road - gorgeous eggs benedict for breakfast ... would definitely recommend

Excellent hotel with great service.

An enjoyable return to a house we used to know well 50 years ago. Comfortable bedroom and excellent breakfast. A real pleasure.

As before, we found it friendly and welcoming. The rooms, including bathrooms,are of a very high standard with extremely comfortable beds and everything one could wish for. Would certainly stay here again.

We stayed for only for one night prior to visiting an English Heritage event close by.We were made most welcome on arrival.The room was charming and well appointed.The Hypnos bed was extremely comfortable.Breakfast was excellent -I recommend the 'Eggs Benedict', my personal favourite.

The accommodation was excellent. The house was lovely and the bedroom very spacious, clean and everything of very good quality. One suggestion- a writing desk would have very welcome. Breakfast was superb and the host terrific. Will definitely stay again and recommend to others

We enjoyed our stay.Beds very comfortable and room light and welcoming.Breakfasting was most pleasurable. Wide choice, well cooked and presented. Only let down was The Lamb. Poor service. Inferior food. Tatty decor and sadly lacked a welcoming atmosphere!

Ideal location close to Herstmonceux Castle and Pevensey. Elegant Georgian house with spacious bedroom. Large and comfortable bed with nice ensuite bathroom. Very quite environment ensuring a restful night's sleep.Very warm welcome by friendly and helpful owner. The breakfast in the dining room was sumptuous. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to stay and made very welcomedComfortable room with views. Great breakfastWith local produce.

Great Place to stay and to get in conversation with the guests and Rowena. Rowena is very enjoyable and helpful.

We stayed here for 5 nights and had a lovely stay - the rooms were all large and well presented and the cottage was excellent. The breakfasts were cooked to order and had a wide range of choice. Rowena was the perfect host and was very accommodating for our large group including 2 toddlers

We are repeat visitors who intend to return again-and again.It is such a pleasure to live in Rowena's lovely home and to have the benefit of her great knowledge of this beautiful,cultural and historic part of England.

Clean, comfortable, quiet & excellent breakfast

Wonderful stay.Relaxing and rowena was the best hostesGary andjenn

Our stay in this wonderful country house was very nice. It's always a pleasure to come back. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast and the comfortable accommodations. We would like to recommend it and thank again Rowena for her warm hospitality.

Perfect in all respects with standout quality of breakfast offering. Pertinent advice on local area was much appreciated.

Our stay was a delight very warm welcome. Beds very comfortable breakfasts delicious the garden was beautiful.

First class in everything Rowena is absolutely brilliant so very welcoming the place itself is remarkable clean fresh and beautiful had a wonderful time woukd highly recommend this place you stay here i seriously put this amongst one of the best places to stay

Can not rate Wartling Place highly enough.The setting is beautiful and a lovely place to recharge your batteries.Great breakfast choice with hit food cooked fresh.Room was fine with tea and coffee making facilities and ours had a large bathroom. Rowena is a great host and even called us on our way there to see if we wanted to book a table for dinner at the local pub as we were arriving late evening. Will definitely return.

Rowena greeted us with a friendly welcome upon our arrival.Facilities were excellent,our breakfast superb and the owners were very helpful, offering to book restaurants for us. We will certainly return.

Wonderful place to stay. The rooms are gorgeous, ours had a 4 poster bed and stunning views. Lovely breakfast, lots of it! Would highly recommend this place.

As a last minute booking we were a little wary ofbooking a B&B but ... what a find! This is a truly fabulous country house, with all the English trimmings. The room was superb! ... spacious and tastefully decorated with a huge four poster bed. The window looked out over the well kept grounds, which we had a good walk around. The host Rowena was so attentive and accommodating, and I was impressed by the phone call I received as soon as I had booked to ask if I would like a reservation made for dinner at the local pub opposite, a really nice touch! We did end up having dinner at the Lamb Inn, the food and service were great and would recommend a visit there too ...Last but not least the breakfast was superb, plenty of options and even sharing the table with other guests was a delight ... 5 stars from us and a definite return!

We spent two nights at this lovely upmarket bed and breakfast. The room, breakfast and whole house were a delight.We cannot wait to return!

This is our first time at Wartling place and we loved it. The location was amazing as we love country side, room was well maintained, light, airy and beautiful. Service was great and we would recommend this place. Garden was well maintained and manicured, perfect for sunny daysJust one tiny tiny suggestion would be to change the taps in the bathroom as I prefer mixer tap.Regards,Hafeez

We had a spacious, nicely decorated and very clean bedroom and en suite bathroom in this beautiful country house.Rowena was a charming hostess and the breakfast was excellent.The only annoying thing was background noise from a television or loud conversation in a neighbouring room or the apartment below, which stopped me getting off to sleep as soon as I wanted after running the Brighton Marathon earlier in the day.

No better place to stay than Wartling Place

Lovely family home in a beautiful setting.Warm welcome on arrival by the owner and a very comfortable room with a four poster bed. All facilities were first class and the decor in classic Georgian style, gave a delightful ambiance throughout.The breakfast was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for our hostess.We can thoroughly recommend it.

This is the second time that I have stayed at Wartling House Hotel.The rooms are beautiful and our host was friendly and helpful. She will book dinner at the pub over the road that is very characterful and the food is lovely.Breakfast is around a large table and the choice and quality of the food is great. We will definitely visit again.

We have had a splendid time!Very nice talks with Rowena, cosy and comfy house, delicious and rich breakfast, easy parking

When we decided to stay at Wartling Place we sought this type of break from our routine. This is exactly what we received and we thank the owners for providing such hospitality.

We cannot have been made more welcome to this beautiful home

We booked very last minute and we were very happy with our choice. The accommodation was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast choice was fantastic and cooked to perfection. Rowena the host was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble - she even made bookings in local restaurants for us whilst we were travelling down.So much to see and do locally too and a very good pub on the doorstep!

Lovely,confortable and spacious room,very clean. Charming house and surroundings. Superb breakfast. We also enjoyed the quiteness of the place.

We had a fabulous two night's stay as we had a family wedding to attend nearby. The four poster bed was so comfortable and breakfast every day absolutely delicious. We chatted to the other guests and swapped notes at breakfast and Rowena was on hand to make sure we had everything we needed. The building and gardens are beautifully kept and we recommend the Lamb Inn opposite for a really good meal out. Take a bottle of fizz to put in the fridge on the landing and you're well away! Thank you!

We spent a week at this very comfortable country b&b and were very well looked after.Enormous breakfasts, lovely spacious bedroom and a wealth of local knowledge, ideas and advice about places to visit.Good friendly pub across the road and many more nearby.

Wonderful, peaceful, restful, enjoyable stay. Rowena is a gift. Thouroly enjoyed the breakfast and comfortable surroundings. A great springboard for visiting the beautiful Downs.

Wartling Place Country House is set in a peaceful location with comfortable rooms and very good breakfasts.The whole hotel is very relaxing with beautiful gardens and good hosting.It also has a very good pub opposite that does good food so no need to drive if you don't want to.I would definitely stay again.

Large bedrooms, very clean and well run establishment,excellent breakfast. Stayed 3 nights and had a very pleasantstay.

Large bedrooms, very clean well run establishment.Excellent Breakfast.Stayed 3 nights, very pleasant stay.Handy for South Coast and Herstmoncoeux Castle.

The room we had was spotless fantastic four poster bed very comfortable .the house is set in a good location.on arrival we were made very welcome,breakfast was excellent,pub opposite served good evening meals

We had a very enjoyable long weekend at Wartling Place in a delightful part of the country and Rowena was very attentive and helpful in making our time with her even more pleasurable. We would certainly love to stay there again.

This was our second weekend away at Wartling Place and it did not disappoint. It is so peaceful and relaxing from the moment you arrive. Beautiful rooms are equipped with everything you need. Breakfast is served in a relaxed setting and the food is super tasty. Staying here is the perfect balance between homely comforts and stylish living.Of course The Lamb across the road is a quality country pub with a warm atmosphere and great food.So close to many excellent Sussex attractions. This time we took in the authentic charm of Rye and the seaside buzz of Bexhill.We left feeling relaxed and replenished.Can't wait for our next stay!

Our room was large, well appointed and gracious.Breakfasts were excellent and taken in the company of some fellow Glyndebourne goers.Rowena is everywhere, running everything smoothly and calmly. Her local knowledge is encyclopedic and unstinting, and was very helpful for us on a day of unexpected heavy rain.

Enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing one night stay at this elegant establishment. Attentive service and a fabulous breakfast of fresh fruit and yoghurt, followed by a full English. As Wartlibg Palace doesn’t serve evening meals, we had taken the owner’s advice and booked a table at The Lamb, just across the road.

We had our wedding anniversary weekend at this wonderful Country House, the room was very large and comfortable, the breakfast was freshly cooked, from a menu, which was beautifully cooked, and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful, cant wait to return.

A lovely place to stay with a wonderful choice at breakfast and a beautiful room.

We stayed in the cottage. Everything was spotless and very complete. friendly owner.Lots to see and do in the naberhood.We can recomend this place.

The three days we stayed in Wartling Place Coutnry House were marvellous because of the excellent hospitality, breakfast and rooms.

Delightful location, made very welcome by Rowena. Room clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfasts excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable and restful stay.

Very friendly and attentive hosts. Excellent quality of accommodation.

Excellent B & B with lovely accommodation and good food.Staff were particularly friendly and helpful

We have just spent the most hospitable 5 night stay at this wonderful country house. We could not fault it on all aspects including service, our room, the setting and most of all our hosts. We would not hesitate in recommending Wartling Place Country House to anyone and we would definitely go back.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your beautiful house and were only sorry not to be able to spend more time in the lovely grounds, watching the bunny rabbits jump across the lawn. Super comfortable beds and amazing breakfast! Thank you

Very nice stay in this lovely house. Beautiful gardens, lovely room, amazing breakfast and very sweet host. Definitely recommend for little getaway.

We stayed in the self contained cottage which was great for our family.The accommodation had all the necessities you need for a short stay.The grounds are magnificent, my son thoroughly enjoyed playing in the fields.The things that stood out for me are the wonderful hotel quality bedding, towels and the breakfast.The guesthouse owners are lovely and very accommodating.The only feedback I would have is to provide cleaning materials I.e Hoover, mop etc, for the cottage.Having small children running around for few days made the place very dirty but not having thefacilities made it difficult to clean the place.We would definitely recommend this b&b!,,

This was such an excellent place to stay.We would highly recommend this Country House.Rowena was such a lady and looked after usso well.

We enjoyed the hospitality of Rowena, and her staff.We hope to go again.

We booked online just wanted a nice break away for one night. We were delighted to have come across this beautiful country house. Stunning rooms, great hosts, breakfast was perfect.would highly recommend and we will definitely go back.

Thanks very much - we had a lovely stay and much appreciated the kind help and advice and excellent service. The room was comfortable, the breakfasts were excellent and the location was a treat. We hope to visit again.

Would thoroughlyrecommendthis bespoke hotel for businessor leisurein East Sussex. Each roomhasits own charm,beautiful gardens to stroll around and a greatpub next door which serves Harvey's Best Bitter. Fantastic!

Truly enjoyable,so relaxing beautiful location.rooms excellent and the breakfasts to die for..One couldn't ask for more.

Very comfortable. Thank you for looking after us

We spent two nights at the hotel. The room was lovely and the breakfasts were delicious. We were made to feel very welcome.

The room was large and beds comfortable. The only problem we had was with the water temperature on the shower. It started off at the correct temperature then got too hot so put more cold on then it went very cold. We would have also liked fresh towels on the second day. Breakfast was delicious.

Response

Hi I am sorry you had difficulty with the water, it can happen when the house is full and everybody decides to take a shower at the same time.May I ask please did you leave your towels in the bath, to be replaced as the girls are instructed to do this?

We stayed for 3 nights in late June while attending the tennis tournament in Eastbourne (an easy run). Run excellently by Rowena. Our room was extremely comfortable and very well appointed. All the furnishings were delightful. Very good breakfast. The bonus is the excellent village pub just across the road by the church (The Lamb Inn). Great food- my wife said he fillet steak was the best she's eaten anywhere!

Lovely accommodation, great hospitality & excellent breakfast.

Fantastic accommodation not just for a two night stay.Extremely comfortable, clean and wonderful lounge where we had breakfast, which was beautifully laid out.Rowena and her team were so welcoming.The house was set in acres of beautiful gardens and although right next to the main road you could not hear the traffic.Lovely church opposite and even better a pub on the corner (1 minute) walk away!Would highly recommend this accommodation to anybody.Best B&B ever stayed in.(As an ex hotelier this was fabulous).

Great place, fabulous breakfast. Highly recommended.

We can find no fault with either the accommodations or the warm service from Rowena and her staff. Our twin room overlooking the church was large and comfortably furnished. Breakfast was especially nice in the lovely dining room with its large sunny windows; the meals were quite delicious, with fresh fruit, and an exceptional selection. The location of the hotel was very convenient to Battle, Herstmonciex, Bateman's, Charleston, and other places. We would certainly return!

We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Wartling Place. This is our second visit and we will definitely be back again. The rooms are fabulous and luxurious and well equipped. The setting is idyllic. Excellent choice of menu for breakfast. Rowena was the perfect host providing us with everything we needed, local information on restaurants, taxis and even ice bucket and glasses. It was a perfect weekend break, we felt completely spoilt.

A beautiful house with fantastic garden and very comfortable rooms. However not the best choice for young kids. The room and garden were fine for Kate do but breakfast a little too formal for them and us, and service too slow on the morning we were there.

For our short break in East Sussex we looked for somewhere with character and we found it in Wartling Place. This former rectory with generous grounds, mature trees and shrubs proved to be restful and relaxing. Accomodation was spacious and comfortable with a period ambience plus all the necessary modern conveniences. The breakfast menu included a full English as well as fresh fruit, salmon, kippers, omelettes etc. Our host, Rowena gave us a warm reception and was always helpful. During our stay there were guests from Belgium and Thailand so news of Wartling Place's good reputation has been spread far and wide. A great escape to the country.

We stayed in the cottage which is detached but beside the main building.Its lovely location and has a great pub opposite.The cottage is comfortable and clean with a pleasant court yard. The kitchen has everything you need. The breakfast we had was exceptional and the lady there has a great style.My only thought is that it is expensive at £200 per night and that does not include breakfast. Another party ( we were on a wedding) stayed at a 5 bedroom house, all ensuite, with 3 receptions for £300 per night so after we saw that it did conclude that this was an expensive option

Our week-long stay at Wartling Place was absolutely delightful.Our hostess was attentive to our needs and made us feel welcome and at home. Wartling Place is beautifully decorated and well-cared for.And the breakfasts, all individually made, were delicious!

This was my second visit and we stayed in the adjacent cottage with my elderly mother as she cannot manage stairs in the main house . The cottage is fantastically equipped and we were very comfortable in there altjough we chose to have our breakfasts in the main house . Rowena and her husband run this beautiful Sussex property and grounds almost single handedly and together create and idyllic retreat. Breakfasts were very tasty and where possible, using local produce .nothing was too much trouble and many helpful tips about what to do and where to eat in the area.We enjoyed the more personal touches and experiences in this upmarket B and B than in a similarly graded hotel.Highly recommended - go and try it yourself

We had a wonderful stay and Rowena did everything to make us feel welcome and to meet our needs. She was also helpful with regard to restaurant and taxi bookings. We would definitely recommend and return.

We revisited this delightful country house hotel and felt really special. The grounds are most attractive and the rooms exquisitely furnished. Also enjoyed a delicious breakfast. We will certainly be returning.

We had a wonderful three day stay in the cottage with our adult daughter.We had lovely breakfasts each morning at the main house.The location is beautiful.

Very good address. Beautiful place, nice hostess. To experiment again very soon

Lovely stay again, beautiful setting, great breakfast, lovely host

We really appreciated our stay in this beautiful house. Very comfortable and cosy. Large rooms with very comfortable beds and well equipped bathrooms, except for the shower... We have a preference for the shower cubicles. Delicious breakfast. We discovered beautiful castles and gardens grace to Rowena's good recommendations. Thank you again for your hospitality!François and Elisabeth MAYER

The cottage in the garden is well equipped and comfortable. The breakfast was as good as it gets.We loved the peace and quiet and the lovely garden

We had a very pleasant stay and Rowena keeps things very relaxed. On a sunny day the gardens are beautiful and nice to sit and have a picnic in. Sadly we did not see the sun much, but it meant we travelled to the local sites of interest of which there are many. Recommend the breakfast in the morning and dinner in the pub opposite which Rowena will book for you. We would look to return and hopefully enjoy the gardens in the sun.

Very friendly and welcoming, excellent locationWe enjoyed our time here

Delicious breakfast, beautiful bedrooms and interiors, special luxury touches, breath taking gardens, very warm welcome, thank you fora memorable and heart warming time.

Wonderful place to be in the core of Sussex but close to the see ( 5 mn driving ), with so many things to appreciate around! We were warmly welcomed and served. Breakfast as we can expect at the best. Five stars rooms. And useful advices to enjoy the best places to be seen around. We were a family of 10 adults together and all of us appreciated the place...

This is a first class establishment providing top quality accommodation and food.The house is welcoming and tastefully furnished.Rowena and Barry are great hosts and having lived in the area for many years, can provide answers to most questions.

Lovely old house beautifully maintained. Every room really nicely furnished. All amenities available. Great choice for a lovely breakfast at a big table with big windows out to the garden and sunshine. Friendly helpful owner. Great pub over the road as well. 16th century, beamed, woodfire, and amazing food. Loved this place!

My son and I stayed in the bungalow attached to the hotel. We thought it was excellent, very comfortable with every facility provided.We were made very welcome. A home from home !!

Excellent.We have visited twice and enjoyed relaxing accommodation. Incredible breakfast.Thanks a lot!!!

This is a great B&B with a comfortable four-poster. Exquisite furniture and a delicious cooked breakfast. The welcome from Rowena is really friendly. I would recommend it to anyone whole-heartedly

Friendly welcome, luxury room as described.Excellent choice of fresh fruit, cereals and cooked breakfasts.Cooled bottled tap water available in fridge and newspapers in lounge.Liked the refectory style breakfast table.When visiting relatives again will definitely return.

Wartling place is set in beautiful gardens and is just as beautiful inside. Our room was spacious, furnished elegantly and spotlessly clean. Our host was welcoming and made us feel at home. The breakfast the next day was scrumptious and also provided an opportunity to meet other guests. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

A gracious house and a gracious host!

We stayed for five nights and were looked after extremely well.We will be coming back as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed a lovely break at Wartling Place, in May, on a trip to Eastbourne. The house is in a lovely quiet area, furnished with antiques and with many nice touches ( like the fridge, in the hall, for wine, beers etc);good quality bathroom products; towelling robe etc.Lovely breakfasts, with homemade preserves, taken in the dining room overlooking the garden. Excellent pub, opposite hotel, serving great food. Rowena very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return, again, for a relaxing break. Thank you.

Two friends and I stayed for a week at the cottage and had a superb vacation.Rowena is the perfect host.Everything is comfortable,tasteful,and welcoming.The cottage and country house is an ideal location for exploring throughout Kent and Sussex. Or stay home for the day and enjoy the wonderful expansive gardens.Save yourself the bother of breakfast chores and do what we did.Indulge in breakfasts at the house prepared and cooked for you.It is served in a beautiful light specious room full of antiques.The house,cottage and grounds are charming. I'm recommending Wartling Place Country House to friends and family alike.

Great value for money and very helpful hostess!

Ticked all the boxes for us. Stayed in the Cottage which is great for a family of 4. Conveniently placed to discover the area and go cycling (cuckoo trail). Our hosts were very helpful and friendlywith a good choice of breakfast to start the day. Would recommend it.

This is a lovely B and B and uis the pace to go if you really want to get away from it all. There are lovvely rooms and the breakfast is superb and if you want a cooked one there is plenty of choice and it is cooked to order too. Poached eggs were perfect and the toast was warm and freshly prepared too.

The best B and B I have ever stayed in, more like a boutique hotel. There is not a single downside to this wonderful place. The Pub opposite The Lamb is also great both for food and atmosphere.

The most perfect place for a family get together. We had a family wedding nearby and 8 of us stayed in the charming rooms which allowed us to enjoy high standards of decoration and attention to detail.We were very well looked after by Rowena, the owner, and her staff and would highly recommend Wartling Place to others.

Wartling Place Country House Hotel is the perfect place for a country house style weekend break, which is exactly what my wife and I were after. The rambling house, set in lovely grounds, is full of charm, character and warmth (especially welcome in chilly November!). The owners are extremely charming, friendly and hospitable. The breakfast, which we ate in a gorgeous light filled room overlooking the garden, was plentiful and delicious.Just across the road is The Lamb, serving hand pulled local ales and delicious, top quality food in an authentically rustic setting.All in all, a great place to stay.

This is the second time we have stayed at Wartling Place.We particularly liked the big spacious bed and lovely soft sheets!!As before, all was spotlessly clean, the bath water hot and the free soaps etc actually useful !! The breakfasts were tasty, freshly cooked and filling.We also found the coffee/teamaking facilities and the landing fridge most useful. Also Rowena's recommendations of local eateries saved us much searching !!We will be back

Perfect for a few nights change of scenery. The Lamb Inn opposite the B&B is a must.

Excellent place to stay in the countryside but within easy reach of Eastbourne and other seaside towns. A beautiful house with a wonderful garden run by helpful hosts.

Lovely warm welcome, wonderful house, comfortable bedroom, beautiful part of Sussex and delicious breakfast. Definitely recommend the Lamb Inn opposite for evening meal.

On arrival Rowena greeted us and showed us our room and the facilities available. We felt very welcome. The room was stunning and grounds were lovely too. We had a lovely evening meal in the pub over the road which was booked for us by the owner. Would highly recommend Wartling House!

We had a delightful stay at Wartling Place. The room was very well appointed, spacious and luxurious. The breakfasts were freshly made and substantial enough to keep us going all day. And the grounds were a lovely place to sit and read. I'd highly recommend a visit.

What a beautiful place...we all had a lovely time despite the rain. Made to feel very welcome and my daughter loved the attention from Reg the dog. Will definitely be back again to further explore this part of Sussex.

Wartling Place was an idyllic place to stayto recharge the batteries. A peaceful quiet location with wonderful views of the village church from our room, and a good pub across the road. There was a really good choice of food for a very tasty breakfast, which took us through to early afternoon. Our room had a wonderfully comfy super king size bed with everything provided. The shared landing area was decorated with wonderful oriental furniture and a handy fridge filled with water and other drinks if needed. The breakfast room was a delight too. An ideal base for exploring The Seven Sisters, Birling Gap, Eastbourne etc.

We stay in the Lodge appartement and had a wonderful time. The house is wonderful and the garden is a dream. We will come back next year!

A very lovely place to stay with fantastic hospitality and food. Well worth the upgrade to the king poster bed room. I loved the gardens and rural setting, with pub next door.

Very pleasant stay - exactly what it says on the tin in every way!

Peaceful, clean and a very friendly host. Especially enjoyed having breakfast in our room, overlooking the splendid gardens.

We stayed at Wartling Place over the weekend of a family wedding.Both the double room and the cottage were extremely comfortable, the beds excellent and the breakfast brilliant.Thank you very much for adding to the enjoyment of our special weekend

Excellent as ever.Highly recommended.

With its lovely bedroom excellent service and beautiful grounds this country house provided us with a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy ourselves

Fantastic two nights stay iin this beautiful, peaceful hotel. Owners couldn't do enough for us and the breakfast was amazing.

We had a great time returning for the 2nd time. Lovely accommodation and glorious grounds. Very friendly and couldn't help enough. Recommend this anytime. Rooms spacious and clean, very close to castle and short drive to Eastbourne. Fabulous!!

Accommodation excellent, breakfast fantastic and proprietors great.

The best place I have stayed!!!!! Very friendly and comfortable. Good pub across the road couldn't ask for any more

Charming B&B in the countryside, beautifully decorated, keeping the feel of the Old Vicarage. Five guest rooms and a self-catering cottage, all set in rambling grounds with amazing views.Rowena and Barry, your hosts, can arrange and recommend anything youwant from places to see yo wonderful country pubs for dinner.We have been staying with them once, sometimes twice a year the last 10 years when visiting family in the area.

A very relaxed and pleasant stay.

I was lucky to happen upon Wartling Place 8 or so years ago and make a point to stay here whenever I am working in the area.Every time Rowena and Barry have exceeded all hopes and expectations and following my daughter's wedding last year I introduced my husband to the experience.The rooms are all large and well equipped and tastefully furnished to a high spec with quality bedding and a seating area; two of the bedrooms actually have fourposter beds with panoramic views of the delightful garden and countryside beyond.Rowena has a great eye for detail managing a very tight ship whilst remaining apparently very laid back and effortlessly in control and incredibly welcoming.The breakfasts are to die for, a great choice, cooked to perfection.There is a pub/restaurant just across the road so you can safely imbibe then stroll home, however, Rowena and Barry regularly check out local eateries so can confidently advise if you wish to go further afield.My most recent stay was in the 2 bedroomed cottage in the grounds, again beautifully furnished to a very high standard, you won't need to bring any of the accoutrements that I would usually pitch up to a self catering holiday with, like washing up liquid, tea towels, salt & pepper as Rowena's already thought of it!!

A great find, fabulously situated and well appointed.Really made to feel very welcome.Would definitely stay again.

A very comfortable stay in an elegant former vicarage.Rowena is a very attentive hostess with an eye for detail.Our room was stylishly furnished in muted tones and, more importantly,t he mattress was excellent.Breakfast was served at a beautifully appointed dining table where you really felt like a house-guest.Wartling Place is very well situated for either East or West Sussex attractions. A lovely spot.

Had a lovely 3 night stay at this friendly country retreat. Good position for exploring this area of Sussex. Great breakfasts.John & Jean Wade 20/9/2013

I booked Wartling Place as part of a birthday present for husband. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. The room was lovely, although with the window open, the road, although not busy, could be a bit noisy. The house had a lovely, welcoming feel. Rowena was the perfect hostess, even contacting a local pub to book an evening meal for us. Breakfast was plentiful, freshly cooked and set us up for the day. The one thing missing from the room, in my opinion, was hot chocolate on the tea tray, but this is a minor thing in an otherwise perfect weekend. We hope to pay a return visit in the not too distant future.

Stayed for three nights in the cottage next door to the main house. it was beautifully presented and maintained and equipped with everything required.I elected to stay in the cottage as my mother is disabled and cannot manage stairs.Rowena, the owner could not have been more helpful as was a mine of information about the local area, where to eat and where access was easy for my mother.As for the breakfasts :- only one word .....DELICIOUS. The grounds of Wartling place were beautiful and superbly maintained by rowena's husband.The cottage would easily accommodate four and is ideal for families as well as a small group of adults.The position of Wartling place was ideal within easy reach of much of the areas attractions.

My wife and I went for a 2 night break and loved the place.The breakfast was superb, the room beautiful and the grounds also really nice.I would definitely come again.

From the phone call received during the afternoon before our arrival to see when we would arrive and whether we would like a booking at the restaurant over the road (brilliant place!) to our final good-byes we could not have been made to feel more special.The building and grounds are lovely, room was fantastic and breakfast as good as you can get!!Rowena has got it all just right. We will be back!

We had a very comfortable room, delicious breakfasts, and a friendly hostess.The bonus was the restaurant across the street also had delicious food.

We stayed in the two bedroomed cottage, it was lovely, very comfortable and had everything we needed. We were very impressed and would highly recommend staying there.

After getting married recently my wife and I stayed at the wartling as the start to our honeymoon. It was the perfect place to unwind away from it all. Our host walked the fine line between familiarity and professional care, with the upmost ease. The Wartling was full of character and we could see the care and attention to detail that has been lavished on her, and also the great sense of style that was abundant. can but only offer our warmest thanks and whole heartedly recommend the wartling Place

Excellent location and friendly hosts. Peaceful setting in lovely grounds. Very good breakfast . A little bit of road noise but due to traffic diversion although very quiet overnight.

Thankyou for a really enjoyable weekend we thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure we will be back. We thought the accomodation was excellent a good sized room, very clean.

The house was lovely, but we booked the annexe/cottage. It was delightful. It was very well decorated, with a homely atmosphere. We booked breakfast in the main house, and the breakfast wasdelicious with a wide choice of items.The staff were warm and helpful, without being intrusive.The gardens were gorgeous, with one group of guests having a nice picnic, on the spacious lawns, shaded by the willow trees.All in all, a delightful experience.

A beautiful home and warm welcome, with good food at the Lamb Inn opposite. We will return!

Thank you, Rowena, for making my stay so comfortable and easy.So many little touches that made everything relaxing and perfect!I'm already missing your wonderful breakfasts; porridge hasn't held the same appeal since I got home!!

A wonderful experience throughout.

Greeted by Rowena – a lovely welcoming host - super decor - immaculately clean - delicious food.Breakfast was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We had the egg muffins and mushrooms – both amazingly good – the homemade bread was also a real treat. It was everything you would wish for in a B&B but very rarely find. Rowena made us very comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the cottage in the beautiful grounds which was very well equipped and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed for longer.

Visiting family twice a year for the past 10 plus years, finding Wartling Place Country House Hotel 10 years ago gave us a wonderful time in the English countryside.The owners, Rowena and Barry, are wonderful hosts, proviing cosy, en-suite rooms with views, wonderful breakfasts, all set in beautiful grounds.Rowena will help with dinner reservations and travelinformation.

We had a lovely 2 night stay in a superb room with those 'little' touches that make a difference, comfy bed and yummy breakfast, thank you.

Head to Wartling Place for a warm welcome, extremely comfortable rooms and a great breakfast - all set in an old rectory beautifully maintained and furnished with a wonderful variety of pictures and furniture - and then go out and explore the Sussex countryside.

My Partner and I had a lovely stay. We were made to feel more than welcome and the house and rooms are beautiful, breakfast was super as well. The only issue was, we were only staying the one night.

As a lone female travelling all over the country for work it has been heaven to stumble on such a gem.All the rooms are large, light and spacious and beautifully decorated; quality bedding, quality bath accessories, free wifi.As you might expect, the breakfast choices are excellent and well presented.This is my preferred place to stay when working in Kent and Sussex.As great hosts Rowena and Barry keep themselves fully up to date with what is going on in the local area in order to advise their guests.Truly outstanding and well deserving of their AA/RAC rating

We booked a last minute, post-Christmas break to revitalise ourselves before returning to work. We were looking for peace, quiet and comfortable, well-appointed rooms; we got all this and more. Rowena is a unobtrusive but welcoming hostess with an excellent knowledge of the locality. The room was beautiful and clean with, in our case a lovely outlook of the church. We will definitely return in the Spring or Summer to get the full benefit of the walking and surrounding countryside. The breakfast is delicious with plenty of choice and fresh ingredients, including on our last morning, freshly baked croissants from the local Italian baker.Thoroughly recommend - although reluctantly as we don't want there to be no room next time we want to stay!!

We felt we needed a break for a couple of days, not far from home but away from the telephone and people just calling,or endless things to do.Wartling Place suited us admirably.There was a very warm welcome and the freedom to come and go as we pleased.The room was warm and cosy and the breakfast delicious.We went for walks but mainly stayed in the comfortable sitting room and played cards or read.There were good pubs locally for our evening meals.We left refreshed and ready again to face the Christmas rush.Thank you.

A simply superb B & B re location, welcome, facilities, style and comfort. Sumptous furnishings, delicious food, gorgeous gardens made it a struggle to actually leave the room! I may escape there again soon!

Everything a country house should be - large, comfortable room with a large comfortable bed, good bathroom, cosy towelling robes and an excellent night's sleep followed by the best breakfast (with a very wide choice) I've had in a long time.This is how it should be done!

Superb Accommodation,incredible service, Rowena is a treasure.

Stayed 3 nights. Wonderful country manor. Comfortable and top quality linens, etc. Breakfast made to order and served in a lovely dining room. Owner has great tips on what to see and where to eat. Perfect pub across street from Inn. Only guests first 2 nights. Would highly recommend and will return!

This was our second stay at Wartling Place and have to say it lived up to the same fabulous stay we had the first time. Rowena made us very welcome and her knowledge of the local area both for visting and dining out was 1st class. Nothing is to much trouble. We will return !!!!

At last i've found a little gem of a hotel,nestled in the charming E.Sussex coutryside.A beautiful Georgian residence filled with light and space.From the warm greeting on arrival to the cheery morning banter at breakfast ,which was quite delicious and the "Piece de resistance" the best nights sleep ever and it was so quiet !! Such a cosy and beautifully decorated room,it was truly memourable and what i can only describe as a real "coming home" experience Thank you so much Rowena I'll bring my slippers next time!

We stayed at Wartling place as we were attending a wedding in the area. the hosts were most welcoming and, looked after our every need. The room was second to none and, the breakfast was most excellent. all in all a wonderfull weekend stay and, we shall definately be returning in the future.

Very relaxing and beautiful stay... The room was wonderful and the grounds are beautiful and expansive. Breakfast was always enjoyable and fresh. The host is extremely gracious and very knowledgable about the area. We had a great stay!

Very nice cottage in beautiful garden!

A wunderful place.The house is beautiful and very clean.

A very pleasant stay in wonderful surroundings. Hope to visit again!

A relaxing place to visit. We were very well looked after by the hostess, Rowena, who washelpful and sensitive to our needs. The delicious breakfast had a wide variety of options to choose from. Our first visit to this lovely hotel more than met our expectations.

Excellent venue for a short break.Very comfortable and the owners are extremely helpful in booking places for evening meals etc.Best for a stress free break to get away from it all.

Great weekend and a lovley place to stay ,food and room was the best we have stayed in .We have just recomended it to our friends.

We will most definitely return to Wartling Place, we had a most enjoyable and comfortable stay and the location for our event at Herstmonceaux Castle was ideal. Our only dissapointment was that we couldn't stay longer.

We spent an enjoyable weekend at Wartling Place. The house is beautiful very tastefully decorated to a very high standard, very relaxing atmosphere and peacful setting. The garden is so pretty with many beautiful trees. Super location with an interesting pub 'The Lamb' opposite which was a bonus. Rowena was very helpful with her local knowledge and tips on places to visit and to eat, very friendly and hospitable. We will definately look forward to going back. Rowena obviously works extremely hard to achieve this level of luxury... Wartling house is one of the best we have had the pleasure to stay at.

We had such a lovely time at Wartling Place - the rooms were comfy, breakfast was good and the best bit was how welcoming Rowena and her family were. Thank you for a lovely stay!

As always we had a most enjoyable stay with Rowena and Barry.It is a beautiful and elegant place to stay and our every need is catered for.We have been enjoying this luxury for the past 12 years and will most definitely be there again next year.

A very enjoyable stay with my wife and young family at this comfortable self catering apartment. The apartment was right next to the main house in beautiful maintained gardens. All facilities were provided. Many thanks.

Since 2008 my husband and I have spent a holiday at Wartling Place and keep returning simply because it is a peaceful and quiet place to relax safe in the care of Rowena and Barrie, who make our stay special.The accomodation is luxurious with excellent food and service. We are truly made to feel part of the family.

We have been returning to Wartling for several years now. As always, the visit was wonderful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, Rowena is always welcoming and the surroundings are perfect. We cannot recommend a stay here highly enough!

Although we only stayed for one night we thoroughly enjoyed the quality of service offered in this beautifully appointed accomodation.Our room was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable and the "full English" provided a robust start to the day ahead.Highly Recommended.

We have just spent a brilliant weekend here with some friends for our 30th wedding anniversary.Rowena kindly booked restaurants for us on both evenings, great food.The local pub really friendly, look forward to a revisit when the chef has arrived.Fantastic grounds, views and the bedrooms and breakfast were first class, thank you once again

I happened upon this place after trying to book a few other B&Bs in Sussex first. I'm delighted to say that all the others were fully booked as it meant my future wife and I got to enjoy 2 nights of Rowena's impecable hospitality. B&B doesn't really do it justice, whilst small hotel is too impersonal. Imagine you have a long lost but delightful relation to stay with and you might be close to picturing the warmth of the reception you're likely to receive. Pedants might find minor niggles to mention (no the shower isn't the most powerful and yes the occasional passing car can be heard) but nothing detracts from the overall joy of being able to call Wartling Place 'home' for a couple of nights. Certainly not the cheapest but definitely the best value accomodation I've enjoyed in a while... 100% recommended.

We needed an overnight stay in the area, and found Wartling House had many favourable reviews already on the internet.We weren't disappointed, it was a beautiful country house in a tiny village with lovely pub opposite.The room was perfect and the breakfast was excellent, as were the facilities.We will be back!

The cottage in the grounds was perfect for us and our two children, very comfortable and well equiped.Excellent breakfasts and kind and helpful advice from our hostess. Beautiful main house and gardens.Exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you.

We have now stayed at Wartling Place on three occasions and have found the accommodation, facilities and breakfast to be excellent. Wartling Place enjoys a secluded location in its own attractive grounds, and we have always received a warm, helpful welcome. We would recommend Wartling Place to those seeking a comfortable stay in the East Sussex countryside.

A beautiful home, with lovely finishing touches. Breakfast was a decadent affair with the finest produce! Rowena is very warm and friendly and keen to offer local advice. A glorious part of the world with as much or as little as you decide to do.

Stunning interior, very attentive staff, love the idea that you can buy a bottle of wine out of the fridge and pay when you leave, loved the breakfasts.Excellent peaceful, tranquil place and a pub for good food just across the road.

Lovely, peaceful and beautiful place.

My husband, two teenage daughters and I greatly enjoyed our stay in the Wartling Place Cottage September 5-7th, 2011.Rowena was extremely helpful in the numerous emails we had in advance regarding all details of our stay, including many that were not directly related to our stay with her, such as dinner reservations and taxi bookings.She went above and beyond to make our stay in East Sussex comfortable and enjoyable.The cottage itself was lovely.Two very comfortable bedrooms, a well appointed kitchen, a good sized bathroom (by English standards), and a very cozy living room to relax and watch movies when it was too rainy and windy to explore the area.Breakfasts in the inn were fantastic.Loads of options to choose from on the menu, each one cooked to perfection.If we ever have the privilege of visiting this area again, we will certainly stay at Wartling Place!

I had a very enjoyable one-night stay here in the beautifully pleaceful surrounding.The bedroom was large, beautifully decorated, clean and airy and the bed wonderfully comfortable, with good pillows - a rarity in hotels!The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying in the Lodge at Wartling Place. The owners couldn't have done more to make our visit here any better. The setting is beautiful and we took advantage of the gorgeous gardens. Would definitely recommend to others and hope to visit again. Thank you to the owners for their hospitality!!

The accomodation was first class and Rowena extends a very warm & friendly welcome and makes sure you have a comfortable stay.Highly recommended

Warm welcome and fantastic hospitality from Rowena helped to make a perfect weekend in a sumptuous country house. We both can't wait to stay again.

For many years we have always stayed at Wartling Place when visiting family in Eastbourned. It is such a tranquil house, tastefully and elegantly decorated, with every amenity, breakfasts to die for, and Rowena, the unflappable, welcoming host.

Recently stayed for two nights 15-16.07.11 for a family wedding.Rowena could not be any more helpful and a lovely hostess. House full of character.attential to detail evident. Room very acceptable although a touch on the cosy side. DVDs available and bottled water in room. Delightful gardens. Reservation made at the local pub for evening meal, which was good.Breakfast excellent and served in the dining room, which was full of character.Guests sit at one very large table providing a family atmosphere.However not all guests may wish to share a breakfast table with strangers. Was not a problem for us. Would highly reccommend.Many thanks Rowena.

We had a lovely second stay at Wartling Place, and found everything as immaculate as ever with attentive and thoughtful service. The rooms are lovely and there every need is catered for at the delicious breakfast served around one large table in a delightful window bay overlooking the garden.

Wartling Place is a lovely house set in a beautiful location. We were given a warm welcome by the owner, Rowena. Our room was very comfortable. It was an ideal base for our visit to sussex and I anticipate staying there again when we are next in the area.

Wonderful house and lovely setting. Very comfortable and a delight to stay in.

An absolutely wonderful place to stay, room was excellent; grounds perfect and service second to none. Would certainly recommend to friends, and will be back.

All that should be expected, plus a most welcome personal touch.

jst got back from this B& B,great place quiet but close to lots of places to see. we stayed in cottage,but still had breakfast in main house freshly cooked to order,rowena,barry great hosts, we stayed two nights,

We had a wonderful stay with some friends over two days. The location is beautiful with every care being taken to ensure the stay is perfect. Rooms and home of a very high standard and breakfast is excellent with lots of local produce to choose from. Hospitality was welcoming as always nothing appears to be too much trouble. We will be back soon - Mike and Karen Smith

We stayed for two nights and had a lovely room, roses unther the window..how romantic! The food at the pub was exellent...thank you for a lovely stay.

A really enjoyable stay - great room and a friendly and welcoming place to stay.Varied breakfasts beautifully cooked and presented and a fantastic breakfast table.

We loved our stay at WPCHH enjoying the lovely ambianceand great food.Wanted for nothing except a more powerful shower.

A wonderful place in the country.Rowena and Barry are great hosts and a mine of information about places to visit and wonderful country pubs and restaurants.We visit family in the U.K. twice a year and have been enjoying Wartling's hospitality and lovely rooms for the last 7or 8 years.

This is an excellent B&B. The room was perfect, the location is peaceful, the breakfast was first class.I will be making this my first choice whenever I am working in the area.
