I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with a delicious personalized cooked breakfast on offer. The separate private bathroom and a balcony added to the comfort of my room, located on the landing. The service was impeccable with thoughtful housekeeping and welcoming pet amenities available. The Indian restaurant in Herstmonceux on Sea that they recommended was superb, adding to the overall convenience. Though the price was slightly high, the value for money was justified by the quality of service and facilities provided.
