Gravetye Manor

We went for lunch on Sunday with two French friends who have high standards and expectations. The service, presentation and quality of the food was exceptional as usual. Our friends were more than impressed to say the least. They said the Gravetye was better than any restaurant they have been to in France !

Beautiful historic hotel and restaurant. Exceptional food, fine dining and amazing, hugely professional staff. The set lunch (£72pp) was an absolute delight at every turn and the gardens are lovely. Worth every penny. A wonderful treat!

Excellent hotel and restaurant with staff to match! My wife and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and with my wife being immunosuppressed it was especially important that she felt comfortable, I can honestly say the staff were very considerate and respectful of her situation all of which made our stay really special and was truly appreciated. Will return without hesitation to this fantastic place!

We are Americans who stayed in 4 different 5-star luxury hotels during our 17 day trip to the UK countryside, and Gravetye Manor stood out as providing the most exceptionally beautiful and romantic setting and perfect service. From the moment we entered the property and were greeted by a valet who immediatley helped with our luggage, to the end of our stay when our final bill was easily appropriately reconciled and our abundant luggage was taken back to our vehicle , we felt welcomed, pampered, relaxed, and catered to, but without arrogance or pretense. The grounds are enchanting (this would make a great wedding venue) , and there are woodland walks to nearby areas of interest with helpful written instructions provided by the inn. The kitchen makes good use of Gravetye's extensive garden products, which are incorporated into the luxury multi-course tasting menu as well as breakfast fruit offerings. "Izzy" at reception went out of her way to accomodate us on a short notice massage request provided by "Luuby" personnel who came to the site to do in-room massage. All the staff were friendly and helpful and not a single one was surly or unprofessional. Our "Pear" suite was spacious and comfortable, with a free-standing copper-coated bathtub with smooth comfortable edges, abundant soft towels and robes, and beautifully scented and gentle toiletries. This is an exceptional luxury inn, very close to London and London Heathrow, worth every penny it commands. We will make a point of returning here when we are back in the London area, and will also refer friends.

We stayed overnight recently to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had the most beautiful room with every possible amenity, and the staff were all attentive, friendly and welcoming. We have visited Gravetye many times over the past 40 years, and can honestly say it’s better than ever!
