East Sussex National - Hotel, golf resort and spa

Course was extremely wet. Still a great layout on both courses. Hotel and courses in need of investment. Staff in golf shop, hotel and restaurants were all extremely friendly and helpful. Evening meal was of a high quality. Excellent value for money.

Spent the day in the spa and had a cream tea with bubbles. Lovely and clean. Reception manager didn't have much patience but we understood how difficult it must be for her. The waiter service in the hotel was amazing, he was funny welcoming and joked with us making it a very pleasant experience. I'm going to book for Christmas for my staff as found it a very relaxing experience.

Have been her on numerous occasions and previously was exceptional, just returned from another three day visit. Courses are great but sadly not really coping with wet and were verging on unplayable. Hotel was mixed bag, considering how quiet it was some staff were lovely and went out way to welcome us but on second night we almost felt our presence was an annoyance, very disappointing.

Lovely spacious room with a stunning view, bath and separate shower all very clean. Nice bar area and dining room, not a great choice on the menu but tasty nonetheless. All Covid friendly and overall, very relaxing. Don't play golf so can't comment on that but the pool and spa area is a must. Plenty of parking. Worth a visit in my opinion.

Rooms are spacious and appear clean, but a little dated with beds not overly comfortable or supportive. The mattress had definitely seen better days. The restaurant and bar service leaves a lot to be desired. Stuff seem chaotic and inattentive. Service in the bar took a long time to just order drinks and sandwiches. At dinner my drink arrived with old lipstick marks on and when sent back the next had lipstick marks still. This was reciftied and taken off the bill, however in times of a pandemic this is totally unacceptable. Food served for dinner was completely average. Breakfast was a total disappointment. Again staff seemed to be all over the place and quality of food was not good at all. For a hotel of this calibre I expected far more. Looking on the golf course over the stay too, there were big groups (more than 6) playing together and also gathered in the bar in the evening. Not sure the hotel is taking people's safety very seriously. I will not be returning or recommending this venue to anyone. All in all for a hotel
