Hotels Near Ardingly Reservoir Bird Watching Shed in Ardingly

We could not go on holiday this year as per the current situation with pandemic, so my wife decided to book the bluebell train in Sheffield Park in East Sussex, so my son would enjoy a little time out and we too. Along the trip we thought to stay there for the day and so booked at the Ardingly Inn hotel. This I have to say, was a great choice...well done to my wife. As soon as we arrived we felt very comfortable and confident with the level of health and safety measures, consistent but also done in a way that you still feel the cosines of what a family run business is all about. Mr Steve was our host who greeted us and assisted to getting ready for our room. The room was cosy, clean and tide, with garden view...we felt quickly that we would really relax there. We spent few moments in the room to relax and than decided to have a refreshment in the garden, Steve prepared the drinks at the bar , we quickly engaged with chatting and felt really like a family ambience. We did not have dinner but had a lovely breakfast in the clean and colourful dining room, good selection and very kind and professional chef ( don’t remember her name ) I had bacon, eggs and sausage...yummy!!! Finally, Steve did allowed us if needed to stay little longer in the room to get ready for check out, again another little touch of kindness...thumb up again. We would definitely recommend Ardingly Inn Hope to anyone who want enjoy with family somewhere peaceful out of the bursting and noisy London.

We use this pub quite often for Sunday lunch, which is always good. So this time we headed there on a weekday. The pub was fairly quiet so had a good choice of tables. Service was prompt and friendly. My husband opted for a burger and after changing my mind I decided on fish and chips. The food arrived after a reasonable wait ie sufficient time for it to be freshly prepared. The burger was thick and juicy, great fluffy chips and a side of lovely crunchy coleslaw. The cod was enormous, think whale on a plate! with gorgeous crunchy batter, great chips and plenty of tartare sauce. So pleased that this place serves their sauces in an individual dish- no nasty sachets or grubby bottles. Loved it!, will be back very soon

This is a lovely hotel! The staff are very friendly and considerate - when I was there I was a solo traveller and they had a wedding on, as I wasn't part of the wedding party they made sure I had a room away from the festivities. The room had a fantastic view and there was no noise from the wedding. There weren't many power sockets but you rarely have everything you want in life! Great stay, I'll definitely return one day.
