"Brilliant all round"
"The lodge is a good size and well appointed. A couple of minor observations where wear and tear was noticeable.. the hot tub was perfect and sitting in the sun with the view is a joy.. the hot tub was cleaned regularly also and was a welcome addition.."
"Everything you needed for a comfortable stay away from home."
"A little cramped as it was very hot weather. Balcony gave lovely views across to countryside and sea and it was lovely in the evenings. Quiet location in the walled garden better than some of the lodges in the main area."
"Our Crowhurst Park Lodges review: Lodge just a little tired a few dents in the walls, veneers coming away on wardrobe. The cleanliness was very good though and attention to detail."
"We had a lovely stay in a meadow-view lodge in June. The lodge was very well equipped and clean and fabulous views over the valley.The park itself was fabulous with friendly and helpful staff. Lots to see and do in the area - overall a really lovely holiday!"
"Lovely lodge."
"Some of the surfaces (table, island) bit tatty, everything else ok"
"Really lovely"
"Note - We had a great time! Upon arrive we were greeted by a welcome bag with goodies inside it which was lovely. The lodge was cleaned to a great standard and we were very impressed with the lodge we had, we saw the sun set every evening. Jacuzzi was amazing and always at the perfect temperature. The lodge was very well equipped, we requested extra duvets and this was delivered quite quickly by a lovely gentleman whose name I forget, great customer service! I enjoyed the therapy lodge and had a few treatments, its great there is a spa with steam room, sauna and pool on site, only thing I noticed was when the staff were cleaning the Matts close to t he kids pool area, some of the dirty water he used to clean the Matts went into the pool as he was brushing the water out! A bit more care in that regard would be good as it wasnt great to see. When the pool is cleaned nothing should be washed into the pool. Kids enjoyed the large chess board and soft play. If it had a slightly higher slide that would make the soft play perfect, kids loved it either way and the fact there was one on site was a bonus. Adventure park, ponds and woodland walk was lovely too (some hedges do need a trim), we used sticks to go through the path and move branches out the way which was exciting for the kids. Restaurant was nice, kids fish finger portion was great. A few more healthier and vegetarian options would be good to add, the mushroom and Camembert stick starter was nice. Perhaps adding a creamy pasta dish, or a grilled fish dish with a nice sauce would be beneficial, they are quite quick and easy to make, we would have eaten more in the restaurant if there was more of a choice, and also having Tabasco sauce on the side for anyone who wants to add chilli to their food would be good! We eat halal or kosher meat so could not enjoy the roast which smelt great. Cream tea was lush. I can tell the owners of the holiday park take pride in what they do, you can tell this from the general presentation and facilities on offer. I could not tell if there was an option to hire racquets for the tennis courts and cant recall if there was a ping pong table on site, more info on that upon arrival would have been good. Another good thing to have had a bit more of upon arrival would have been a quick introduction to the holiday park, being told where the kids play areas were, opening times for the restaurant, pool and spa etc and also quick recommendations on what to do in the area. This would have added a cherry on top with regards to customer service. Overall a great experience, we will definitely be back!Thank you again Crowhurst. Regards"
"We had an amazing stay! The park was lovely, with stunning views and friendly staff everywhere. The hot tub and facilities were spot on too. Can't wait to come back to Richmond Plus!"
"We had such a lovely stay, honestly it was better than we expected! The photos made the place look a bit dated, but that actually added to the cosy vibe. Everything was spotless and we loved the little touches like Christmas crackers and chocolates on the table - on the 30th of December, no less! The staff were super friendly and really helpful throughout. The pool, sauna and gym were all top-notch and best of all, no need to book ahead. Our whole family had a great time and were already talking about coming back soon. Definitely a place wed recommend!"
"We were very happy with our experience at the park. The cabin was very well setup, we were very impressed by the attention to detail for Christmas with a little Christmas Tree to decorate yourself and a fully setup Christmas table with decorations. The cabin was nice and clean and you have everything you need for self catering. The employees in general were very helpful. The bed mattresses were a little aged if I am honest. The heated pool is not the warmest for a winter swim, but the temperature is good enough for a quick dip if you brave it. The other facilities like the steam room and sauna are a great addition. We enjoyed out stay and will be back."
"We had a really lovely time at the park! The cabin was spot on - super cosy and thoughtfully decorated for Christmas, with a little tree to hang your own baubles on. The Christmas table was all set up with festive touches, which we loved. The place was spotless and it had everything we needed for self-catering, so no fuss there. The staff were genuinely helpful throughout our stay, which made things even better. Only thing we noticed was the mattresses felt a bit worn out, but not a big deal. The heated pool was a bit chilly for winter, but still manageable for a quick dip if youre brave enough. The steam room and sauna were a real bonus too. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and definitely plan to come back!"
"Second time i have booked this lodge this year. Lovely, clean lodge ideal for a small family lookimg for a base to explore the area."
"We recently stayed at the Richmond lodge for a birthday weekend and honestly, it was fantastic! The decor is really stylish and its super clean and spacious - we felt right at home. The views are stunning and having a hot tub was such a bonus. Everything we needed was there, fully equipped, which made things easy. The cosy snug was perfect for relaxing. Wed definitely come back to Richmond again - loved every minute of it!"
"Lodge has all you need for a holiday. Spacious lodge with patio doors to sun balcony. Ideal for relaxing in the evening with drink, watching sun go down. Comfortable beds for goodnight sleep.We were in No 10 lodge, needs a doorstep outside entrance door, as quite a big drop."
"Overall, our stay was pretty decent. Some cabinets had dropped, so we just avoided using those, which wasnt too much hassle. There was a loose handle on one of the bathroom doors, but nothing major. We did notice a few cobwebs in the lounge, but honestly, it didnt spoil the vibe. The decor could use a bit of updating around the Lodge, but it didnt affect our holiday at all. Wed definitely come back!"
"Very well kept, all essentials covered"
"We had a really nice stay at the Country Plus lodge. The place is surprisingly spacious with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, which was perfect for us. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, including a cooker, fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. The lounge had comfy sofas and the hot tub was a real bonus - it stayed warm even in the rain! The view from the decking was absolutely stunning too. Wed definitely come back!"
"The Country Plus is a spacious lodge with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen has a cooker, fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. There is an ironing board and iron and an airer. The lounge had three two seater sofas so not on top of each other. The hot tub was always lovely and warm so was used in the rain and in the evening. Wonderful view from our decking."
"We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and the walks right from the doorstep were lovely. The owners made us feel so welcome, it was brilliant!"
"We had such a great stay at this lovely place. The setting is really peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. The owners are super friendly and always happy to help if needed, without intruding on your privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling! Only thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. We got used to it quickly, though and it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Definitely recommend!"
"Pretty decent overall"
"Really enjoyed our stay here. The garden was perfect for the dogs, totally enclosed and safe."
"The location is fantastic, perfect for exploring Hastings, Lewes and Eastbourne. The site layout is really well thought out, though the bar area could do with a refresh - those chairs are pretty grubby. Still, the staff were lovely!"
"We booked a spontaneous trip for just the two of us. The park's stunning, facilities top-notch and the accommodation was super comfy. The hot tub was definitely a highlight!"
"Had a really lovely time, already booked for Christmas again!"
"Really enjoyed our little escape in East Sussex countryside."
"Beautiful location, great staff. Overall brilliant. Its why we keep returning. Our only criticism this stay was there was two small "sofa's" which were really very small, given its a cabin for four people. There also no cushions, so one person was sitting on the floor with out even a cushion. But over all still our go to place."
"Great stay, good location and facilities. Helpful and friendly staff ??????????"
"Lodge was lovely site very clean and the staff are wonderful"
"Superb A1 a lovely lovely site"
"We spent the time as a spa retreat and the staff at the spa were fantastic. The swimming pool and gym facilities were clean and staff were friendly.
We liked the takeaway deliver to your lodge service. The food was excellent. The views over to the South Downs and across to the sea were beautiful."
"We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the lodges, lovely view, very friendly and helpful staff and the food in the restaurant was exceptional. The swimming pool was really good and as a non-swimmer I found the steps, bars and shallow water very helpful."
"Crowhurst is a beautiful peaceful place to stay, this was our second visit and we enjoyed it. But there were a couple of little things we thought they could of done to make the say a little better.
Some comfortable soft furniture on the deck for relaxing in would have been nice, instead of the hard ridged chairs that are there. Also some sort of sun shade/large umbrella that could be used to give you some shade while in the hot tub. Our tub was in direct sunlight all day till sunset."
"Everyone very helpful, holiday was good. Pool very good. Childrens playground was a little difficult being on steep slope. Enjoyed our time there."
"Our second visit. Such a lovely place. Accomodation is great and the staff are exceptional. So friendly and helpful. Pool is superb and the grounds are kept immaculate. 15 mins to the town centre and lovely beaches. Great family park."
"Excellent from start to finish. We'll be back"
"Very nice place"
