Birch Hotel Stay

Great hotel and a welcome tour down history. Nice rooms, modern renovations and has everything needed inside rooms. Luggage was carried up to room for me as staircases are quite narrow, but it's part of the old character of hotel and beautifully maintained. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I'd stay here again anytime

Friendly staff, pleasant dining option within the hotel in quiet residential neighbourhood a few minutes’ walk away from the local hospital. Rooms were clean and well maintained. No lift to upper floor. Free parking, and reasonable value when we stayed, and the breakfast was nice (extra charge).

There is nothing to fault with this hotel. I stay here to escape and relax from time to time. I thoroughly recommend this hotel.

8/10 Very good

A lovely country house hotel with a few issues.

A lovely country house hotel on the outskirts of Haywards Heath ( we walked into town a number of times in 20 minutes or so ) The building and decor are in great condition with lots of character remaining. Our room was spacious and very comfortable as well as very well equipped. The room was serviced daily with fresh consumables including water and biscuits. The bathroom was fairly modern and light and airy. The bar and bistro area look to have been recently refurbed in a fairly modern style and there is outdoor seating too. We only had breakfasts at the hotel but found the food to be well cooked and presented and very enjoyable. We had a few niggles and these may be down to low staffing levels, firstly although our room was generally lovely, cleaning was lacking. Most of the hard surfaces had a thick layer of dust and there was quite a lot of cobwebs and spiders around the ceiling, windows and even in the bathroom. Service at the bar and even at Reception was sometimes lacking too. This said, we really enjoyed our stay and may well return one day.
Giles, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good value for what you get

Clean towels were left on floors outside rooms by cleaners whilst servicing rooms. Pleased I didn’t see this before using them! First time I’ve been asked by a cleaner if I’m leaving so that they can service my room. Normally cleaners have this information. Staff could be a little friendlier in certain areas. Breakfast ok.
