The old Forge is an old building but very well maintained and we were very comfortable . We appreciated our host's generosity and the delicious cooked breakfast.
We were the only guests there as the hosts had to leave the next morning so had not taken more bookings. In deference to our early booking and the fact we were from Australia and possibly in the middle of our trip, they let our booking stand. We really appreciated this.
A real positive for this accommodation is that there is parking at the premises, and it is free. (Often "parking available " means paid parking in a council car park.)
Situated in the heart of Hailsham, The Crown Hotel offers a vibrant cafe, traditional bar and modern bedrooms, and is only a 20-minute drive from Eastbourne.

Needed to be careful in low headroom areas, one grandchild ended up with a large bump on his head. Room was quaint but comfortable. Breakfast was great with good service. Bed was a good size and comfortable

Nice big room, available for very early check-in (which we appreciated since we were soaked after walking in from Lewes in the rain.) Very pleasant conservatory dining room, good dinner and breakfast. Excellent location - we were able to walk out the front door and catch the bus to our next stop.

Didnt really go into Hailsham but daughter did - she was very happy to the facilities in the area - big Tesco - cafes and several restaurants and pubs. We went to the ~Plough for dinner which was a recommendation in the guest book - excellent food and friendly service. Great location or visiting Brighton 25 miles away and Eastbourne 10 miles away.

Hailsham is ok but we were there to visit family. We like Hilliers Garden Centre, which is nearby, for lunch and shopping. Also close to Eastbourne. We like Birling Gap, which is a NT, 20 minutes drive away.

Hailsham is small but has quite a few independent shops (as well as 3 supermarkets)and nice cafes (AJs does a wide range of coffees and smoothies) and a very good Indian restaurant in the High Street. It is the perfect place to stay for getting to places of interest. Drusillas zoo is a 10 minute drive away. Alfriston village which is the oldest village in Sussex is 15 minutes by car. From here you can do beautiful walks on the South Downs Way or walk along the stream (national trust trail) from behind the Clergy House. Hailsham is cheap to stay in and use as a base for visiting the many local places of interest.

Off road.
Off road. Set back in a nice garden space, the hosts live in the adjacent house always available but never intrusive, lovely garden planting, places to sit around the lawn, a patio and chickens in a coop, really enjoyed the space felt cozy and secluded. You do need a car, there is a small village shop but also a supermarket within two miles, the local pub does tasty meals

Hailsham is a quiet market town some miles inland from.the resort towns of Eastbourne and Brighton.
As a town it doesn't offer much in the way of tourist attractions,but near to Herstmonceux observatory science park,some lovely Sussex villages ,and history Hastings about 20 miles away.

We loved the countryside, surrounded by nature.The relaxing atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Everyone noticed the tranquility and felt at peace there. A lovely seating area outside to watch the beauty of our surroundings.
All the rooms were lovely. Well equipped and extremely comfortable. There was a laundry room too which was a very useful space. The kitchen was very well equipped too. Lovely lighting in the lounge, and dining area. Separate entrance to rest of the house. Parking outside was very convenient. Hosts were excellent in every way. When we contacted them nothing was too much trouble. They recommended a couple of restaurants that were excellent.
This is a first class property, very well appointed and with a great deal of space. We particularly liked the welcoming touches by our host Jane, including a few essentials and snacks. The property was warm, clean and had all the equipment and facilities one could want. The quiet location was great for walking the dog from the doorstep and yet close enough to the Hailsham bypass to get out and explore easily. The Downs and coast are just a short drive away.
Authentic English style. Very good breakfast. But a stay with mixed feelings. Extremely high rating on booking, so thereby also high expectations, which unfortunately aren’t completely fulfilled. Maybe my expectations were simply too high for 120 Pounds a night for a 2-star hotel. Dear Philip and Nicky, this is not meant to be rude, but simply my Dutch feeling. I will try to explain below:
The staff were friendly but unfortunately, my bedroom was situated next to an alleyway leading to car park and there was some kind of loading or delivering going on from about 4 am. Also very noisy when guys coming back to the hotel who were obviously working nearby...slamming of doors, shouting etc.
Apart from this, the room was lovely and clean and the staff great.
The property is in an ideal location for staying in the area near gun hill for weddings. Close enough to get a bus or a taxi to the station as well as to the venue. Clare was an exceptional host and the room was spotless. Excellent breakfast from her and Gavin and I felt very attended to.
Really clean room with good facilities. Breakfast was excellent. It was perfectly located for our afternoon walk around Birling Gap (about 20 minutes drive) and our evening event at the Bisops Lion Hotel (that made us particularly pleased that we had chosen to stay at West Lodge B&B).
Good parking adjacent to the hotel. The hosts were very friendly. The hotel itself was spotless.
There was a plentiful supply of biscuits and several options of drinks in the rooms. Very comfortable bed. Fresh fruit and croissants as well as usual fare for breakfast.
Everything... Great location, staff really friendly. We decided to have dinner at the hotel and it didn't disappoint. We had a family room and it was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would recommend and would go back. Thank you
The room was spacious and comfortable. Very good value for money. The breakfast was also really good. We got to Eastbourne by the sea in about 20 minutes from the hotel. The staff was friendly. I would use it again.
We stayed over an hot spell and there were room fans available to borrow in the corridor.
Nearby Indian, 'The Royal' was excellent. Our room was over the bar and still quiet enough for a good night's sleep.
Very good private farm location, quiet and peaceful. really helpful and friendly hostess (Clare). home-cooked farm fresh breakfast. amenities were what one would expect at a 5-star hotel
The house is situated in such an amazing & peaceful location. The host and service I received was exceptional. This is definitely a must go place if you’re staying in Hailsham…
We had an excellent diner in the hotel, for which we were requested to inform the owner of our choices so they could properly prepare. Well, they did exceed our expectations!
