This was my first visit to this hotel albeit in extreme weather conditions.It was a 1 night business stay. Staff friendly and helpful.Excellent value for money given the facilities in the room and the inclusion of breakfast in the room rate.Only 2 slight niggles - I had a pint og Long Man cask ale which was past its best(only fully realised this when I had a pint of the same beer at a pub in the village.Cost of the evening meal in the restaurant was quite high at ca. £46 (may be an expensive area?) - this was for a pint of beer, a large glass of wine, a starter and a main course at the cheaper end of the menu.However,apart from the aforementioned beer everything was very good.I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to stay in the area.

A lovely stay
We had a lovely few nights at Deans Place, the grounds are immaculate with a pool also which was lovely to make use of. The food was very good and staff very friendly. The rooms are a bit tired in places and a few cobwebs here or there but a lovely hotel and all the communal areas and grounds are very nice

Country house non chic
Been going to Deans Place for years on our annual Glyndebourne visit. It’s just a great country house hotel in a beautiful village in the middle of the S Downs national park. It’s a bit tatty at the edges, the food is predictable and chic it isn’t. We just love it as it is and pray that it does not get boutiqued… for us 5 star

Not worth the pricetag
This place is beautiful on the outside, and the experience inside does not match the exterior. Rooms are dated and in need of refurb, and food pretty underwhelming. The price paid for the room is not good value, and they get away with charging this due to the amazing location and setting.
