Gravetye Manor

Gravetye Manor is the ‘go-to’ restaurant of my husband and I for special occasions. It has one of the most stunning settings imaginable, and the ambience, cuisine and service in the restaurant are superb. We also had the pleasure of staying in the hotel for a couple of nights back in December and this gave us the opportunity to experience the a la carte breakfast, lounge and resident’s dinner menu, all of which were excellent. While our traditional Classic room was lovely, the bathroom, particularly the shower, felt tired and overdue an upgrade. This is a minor niggle in the whole scheme of things and we would most definitely recommend dining and staying at this fabulous and historic hotel.

An ideal country house experience. The staff are very friendly and this adds to the relaxed and luxurious atmosphere. Dinner was absolutely superb. The chef is an artist. Also they have created a delightful modern space to dine in. Likewise breakfast is a delight. It was foggy and cold the night we stayed which added to the getaway indulgent experience Maybe return in Spring or Summer

I think when you’re greeted at the entrance and they address you by your actual name it speaks volumes. We visited for afternoon tea during a weekday. What can I say - everything was first class, the service, the professional but relaxed attitude of all the staff, the food served was all gorgeous and prepared from their own gardens where possible. Beautiful handmade cakes decorate with miniature (edible) flowers from their gardens. Good choice of teas served along with lovely English sparkling wine (so much more appreciated than French Champagne these days). Highly recommended….
