The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. We were also upgraded which was a nice surprise. The bedrooms could do with some updating and a good clean as there were quite a few cobwebs.

A Lovely Hotel In A Quiet Pretty Village

We wanted to spend a couple of days in the Brighton area, but wanted a hotel out of town, somewhere quiet. Came across the Old Tollgate in our search and it looked really good. From our arrival and checking in, to service at the bar and restaurant, all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was very comfortable, with almost silent air conditioning, under floor heating (handy in winter), and a very comfortable bed. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The buffet Breakfast had a great choice of fruit and cereals as well as hot dishes. The carvery in the evening was the nicest we have been to in a long time as well. After dinner we recommend a walk around the village, which is very pretty. You also have Bramber Castle ruins practically opposite the hotel. Not a lot to see there, but interesting history. Next time we are in the area we won't even look anywhere else, we would love to go back.

Carvery Food

Nice hotel for stop over. Very helpful staff. But disspointed woth hotel charging £50!! For carvery for adult and child who just turned 13. No way my daughter ate £25 worth food. Despite bringing this up. We had no choice. Option of main and desert would b nice. We paid for starter we never had .For purely this reason wouldnt stay again. Shame.

Let down by bad wifi.

We stayed here as part of a road trip around England. Our room was clean and comfy and had everything we needed - except good wifi! Reception said their was a problem with the wifi - a BT issue and it was in a black spot as well. After trying for a few hours to get reception we went to a pub up the road and got good reception and wifi. So unsure what the real story was. Good wifi is crucial for today’s travellers. Dinner in the restaurant was good - a buffet. Breakfast also good. In a little village so quiet and charming. Great walk up to the old church and castle ruins. Would have rated higher if not for the wifi.
