What our customers say about their holidays

  A beautiful, historic and spacious house in gorgeous Sussex countryside. We stayed with several branches of our family and everyone was very comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen and bar with everything you need for a warm and welcoming family celebration (the reason we booked the house). Living room is comfortable with multiple sofas and chairs. Dining room is impressive, double-height, seating ten comfortably with a further large table nearby that could be positioned for extra guests. Plenty of room in the conservatory as well including a table which seats eight. There is even a chess table, which our son and his grandpa enjoyed very much! Games cupboard and plenty of books with local interest. A real country-house feel. Our dog was also very happy here. For the dog-owners: the garden is fenced around the boundary but the driveway entrance is not gated but anyway dogs have to be on the lead outside because of the livestock in the fields.

  Our group of 9 ladies stayed at Gildridge house for our annual weekend away and the property was perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space but also plenty of communal space for us to sit and chat. The owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating, from the beautiful welcome basket through to allowing us to leave the cars at the property prior to our check in time in order for us to walk up to our pre booked wine tour at Henners Vineyard. We made great use of the pool, had a wonderful catered meal provided by Fab food for you, and enjoyed a nice (but long) walk to the local pub, The Brewers Arms in Herstmonceuax (the Sunday roast was amazing). We also visited Herstmonceux Castle, which was an absolute delight. The house itself was very well equipped, comfortable and very clean, it was everything we had hoped for and more.

  A beautiful, characterful and spacious house in a peaceful rural location, it made for a relaxing and happy holiday. Everything was maintained to a high standard and very comfortable. The pool was bigger than it looks on the photos, clean and a good temperature; we enjoyed the sauna and playing table tennis too. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, there were two huge fridges and a freezer for storage and the cooker was easy to use. Nearby Hailsham has a very good choice of supermarkets. The garden is large but open, so we needed to supervise our dog when outside and keep him on a lead when the cattle were in the field next door, but there were some good walks locally and within a short drive. Highly recommend.

  We booked Gildridge House for my wife’s 70th birthday and took the whole family. What a stunning property, a house that is set amongst the Sussex countryside and fields of animals. Everything was perfect from the en-suite bedrooms, to all the living accommodation (including a magnificent conservatory) and all the other facilities including a lovely swimming pool, table tennis, sauna and a great selection of toys for the children and games for all ages. In the kitchen, everything was catered for and the welcome basket on arrival was a lovely gesture. We genuinely could not find fault with Gildridge House - it exceeded our expectations and we had the most memorable of times and hope to return again at some point.

• Mr Taylor - Verified booking

  This is great accommodation for a holiday with family and or friends that’s definitely dog friendly. Lovely spacious accommodation well equipped with very comfortable furniture and a well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms are comfortable and both the shower rooms fitted out with large walk in showers with plenty of hot water. Facilities for a dog are really good. A large secure garden to the barn and a really large secure dog field more than large enough to burn off those zoomies! The hosts are very welcoming and we can recommend ordering some fresh meat from their farm. Our Christmas Turkey was lovely. Great location for exploring both countryside and coast.
