We had a positively wonderful time staying at the Olde Forge Hotel this week as we settled our daughter into her freshman year at the International Campus of Queens University at Bader College/Herstmonceaux Castle. Nicky and Phillip are incredible hosts who are warm and welcoming and give the utmost care and consideration for each of their guests regarding schedules and questions and concerns. We personally enjoyed their lovely sense of humor and the time they took to get to know their guests and they also encouraged traveling guests to meet each other which was lovely as well. The fact that they have a dog friendly hotel is above and beyond generous and they have two sweet and well mannered dogs that helped me with missing my pup who stayed home in the US. Just look at the care they give for those traveling with their furry families! We enjoyed a tasty traditional English breakfast each morning and also had a delicious dinner from Chef Phillip as well. We look forward to staying here again!

We recently returned from a two night stay with our dog. However we only stayed the friday night and booked out at 7:45am Saturday morning. The reason we gave was that our small room was unbearably hot for us and our small dog to the point that we could not endure another night. Having received the bill we asked the proprietors if they would consider a small gesture of goodwill ie (cancel bar cost etc) but they were quite emphatic that due to their ruling of a minimum 3day cancellation the bill for both nights still stood at full cost! We also agree with some of the other comments made regarding the atitude of both husband and wife in that their hospitatilty sadly lacked to the point of rudeness. Finally we regard this experience as the worst of many stays anywhere.

Stayed here for a couple of days for a nearby wedding and had a lovely time (away from the kids!). A real homely feeling and the owners, Philip and Nicky, were so accommodating.We had dinner at the Olde Forge one night and I was amazed by the quality of the meal and hospitality.Would totally recommend this place for anyone who needs to stay in the area.

Good, comfortable accommodation. Helped us out by letting us check in early so we could get to a family event. Very friendly, helpful owners and a terrific breakfast.

We wanted a hotel for the night and The Olde Forge seemed to offer what we were looking for. A lovely hotel with a lot of character. The hotel and our room was very clean. Nice touches of sweets, biscuits and bottle water in our room with extra tea bags, milk and biscuits in the corridor for you to take. The breakfast was very tasty, eaten off with luxury crockery and cutlery, which does make a difference. The Host Philip and his wife made us feel so very welcome.

We had a wonderful one-week stay at this hotel. It was very clean, had an excellent location, and the proprietors were very charming. A nutritious breakfast was included every morning. A bar was available for purchasing drinks. We can't wait to come back.

This was a good base for our holiday. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfasts especially the fried bread! Evening meals can also be ordered and this was useful. Overall very good and worth a visit.

My husband and I just got back from a 1 night stay here as we were attending a wedding nearby. The rooms were clean and had really nice extra touches such as biscuits and bottled water. Nicky and her husband were such friendly hosts and the cooked breakfast was really good! The hotel was quiet and we had a really good nights sleep.
