My stay at Holly House was for 2 nights in their single room with a shared bathroom. Although compact the room was adequate for my needs & reasonably priced. The freshly cooked breakfasts each morning were excellent with plenty of choices on the menu. The house and gardens were delightful and I highly recommend this country house accommodation.

Our stay was very pleasant. Our room was comfortable and very private. It even had a small private garden room attached. It is worth mentioning that the room temperature was very acceptable despite the heatwave at the time. The main garden, to which we were given full access was enormous and very beautiful with lots of different “rooms”. We understood from our host that it was an NGS garden and we could clearly see why. Our host was welcoming and provided delicious breakfasts at a time to suit us. The only puzzle was the workings of the rather small tv in our room. This could use an upgrade.

What a wonderful B&B. The welcome, the former farmhouse itself, the comfortable room & the extraordinary variety at breakfast were all impeccable. Seconds from the bus stops to/from Haywards Heath Station with express links to Brighton, LGW and London. Superb & would definitely stay again.
