Good Hotel Guide Review
‘An ideal B&B’, Daisy and Clive Hayley are new owners of this Georgian manor house, much made over in Victorian times. It is approached via a tree-lined drive through large grounds. ‘It’s definitely a place for people who like to chat and get to know their hosts,’ say Guide inspectors in 2017. The house stands in large grounds, overlooking a lake with an island folly built on the ruins of medieval Starborough Castle; there are ‘lovely views over the peaceful setting’ from the ‘fine, spacious’ drawing room. Bedrooms, each different, are ‘elegant and tasteful’. ‘Our enormous bed had the most comfortable, deep duvet; soft towels and indulgent bath products in the bathroom. Our hosts provided us with crockery, cutlery and glasses to eat our picnic supper.’ At breakfast ‘a delicious array’ of fruits, cereals, yogurts and jams. Historic Hever Castle and the National Trust’s Standen House and garden are within a 20-minute drive.
