Situated along the a22, the hotel is set in 17 acres of beautiful grounds and retains a pleasant country atmosphere. Extensive car parking and a helipad are in the grounds together with an all-weather tennis court and outdoor heated pool. Among the ’originals’ which survive are a magnificent brick fireplace in the hotel’s bar, many timber beams and a tunnel built during The Civil War, linking the building with the nearby Michelham Priory. Horse riding, walking and fishing are local activities, while golfers can play at the nearby Horam Golf Club.
