A thoughtful host and beautiful garden in the heart of Sussex countryside, five minutes' drive from a historic village pub which serves excellent food and wine and is also popular with locals. Very handy for the many houses, castles and gardens open to the public in Sussex. Perfect for us to escape the noise and crowds of the seaside towns after days sightseeing and visiting friends. Good for woodland walks with or without dogs. A lovely week's break. ##### Gabrielle Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### James 21 Dec 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Here’s a tightened version under 1,500 characters while keeping the key points and balanced tone: ⸻ We stayed at Holly House in Beaconsfield for a short break with our dog. There were some positives, but also several areas that could be improved. On the plus side, the property is genuinely dog-friendly, which we really appreciated. Our dog was able to roam freely, making the stay more relaxed. Breakfast itself was lovely, and the owner shared helpful local tips, including recommending the Red Lion pub about 10 minutes away, which we enjoyed. However, the experience felt more like staying in a private home than a traditional B&B or hotel, which may not suit everyone. The décor is dated (“nan’s house” style) with a musty smell throughout. While generally clean, it wasn’t to hotel/B&B standard, with cobwebs behind furniture and skirting boards not fully clean. The room wasn’t made daily. Practical issues included no coat hooks, limited bedside plug sockets, a small travel kettle with minimal tea/coffee, no fridge, and a very small, tablet-sized TV. Temperature control was difficult: there’s no room thermostat and heating only seemed to be on when the owner was home. We returned from a December dog walk to a freezing room and had to shower to warm up. The breakfast room was also cold. WiFi was very poor and network details weren’t explained. There were maintenance and access concerns: the door key often stuck, we couldn’t contact the owner on arrival, and no name or contact ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 13 Jul 2025 #### Great breakfasts Dee was a wonderful hostess. Her breakfasts were great. So much choice. A few little tweaks would have improved things for us. The bathroom folding door didn’t close properly as there was no handle. The weather was very hot and a fan would have helped us sleep.
