We had an amazing afternoon at Buxted park celebrating a double christening followed by an amazing dinner in the orangery with great attentive staff that couldn’t do enough for us. It was a very hot day but felt very cool and there was fresh icy water on our table ready for our arrival. Overall a fantastic service

We booked up a birthday treat and we have had the pleasure of visiting Buxted Park a number of times. We were warmly welcomed by Natalie on reception who was very helpful and we decided to take up an offer of a room upgrade for a reduced fee. We opted for The Queen Elizabeth Suite that was sumptuous and beyond our expectations. Thank you for the birthday card and chocolates that was really appreciated. We dined in the Orangery and a massive thank you to Jack who is a credit to the hotel who ensured all our needs were met. He resolved an issue that occurred in a positive and professional manner. Thank you again for another birthday card and decorated plate. Breakfast was plentiful and it was lovely to look over the grounds during our meal. We definately will return as Buxted has great staff,facilties and rooms that are comfortable and relaxing. Thank you for making a birthday visit so enjoyable.

We returned to the Buxted Park Hotel for the 1st time since we had our wedding reception 20 years ago and stayed in the George V suite. We had a wonderful experience 20 years ago and can only say that the hotel is even better than we remembered and were treated so warmly by all the staff. We had dinner in the orangery which was amazing and delicious, served by a double act of 2x French waiters who created such a great atmosphere in the restaurant, singing opera and offering cheery banter with all diners. The George V suite is quite special and we felt privileged to stay there, but also were made to feel like family as soon as we got to reception and checked in. A hand written card welcoming us back for our wedding anniversary was a lovely touch with chocolate truffles. Thank you, again for making our anniversary so special and for the memories of our wedding day .

Another wonderful stay at Buxted Park Hotel, we attended the Hidden Springs Winetasting and tasting menu event and I can truly say we had an incredible time we also combined it with celebrating our daughters birthday too and without doubt the staff made our stay another memorable experience. We love spending time at Buxted Park either for family occasions, or just for dinner and drinks or a quick lunch and it always feels like home and that we are amongst friends. Its always so special to see Marc and his team, we were married at Buxted Park nearly 8 years ago and Marc was our Master of Ceremony and he holds a special place in our hearts. When ever we visit it is so nice to see Jean Francois and Phil Graham who are also so friendly and professional. We would also like to mention on this occasion too Hannah on Reception, Ben who assisted us also when checking in and my daughter and her boyfriend would like to thank Vlad behind the bar for his great cocktails. I would also like to thank the team working on the Wine Tasting evening who ensured a special evening was had by all. Thank you for making our stay another memorable one and we will see you all on our next visit.

To celebrate my husband’s birthday we had Buxted Park hotel’s festive dining experience. The starters and desserts were amazing but we both agreed the traditional Christmas Turkey main course was the best Christmas dinner we have had out for years. The photos speak for themselves but every element of the main course was delicious, our compliments were sent to the chef, Mark. The experience was made even better by the welcoming, attentive and professional staff Marc Desseaux (il est magnifique) and the charming Jean-Francoise (aka Jean-Pierre). They treated us like royalty and Buxted Park shoukd be proud of their dedication, loyalty and the 5 star service they provide. We thoroughly recommend the festive dining experience as it is wonderful and great value for money.

We visited the Buxted Park Hotel to attend an Elvis Tribute night, as part of in-law's wedding anniversary celebration. The evening was exceptionally enjoyable. Attentive and experienced service, best quality food I had in a long time, really shows the value of locally sourced ingredients and cooking ability in the kitchen.
The entertainment was flawless, "Suspiciously Elvis" is a true showman and played to the room.
All this is undoubtedly due the example set by the manager, consummately professional and welcoming....................Monsieur Thank you.

The hotel always offers a warm and generous welcome. The reception staff assisted with bags to the room and made the check in process seamless. Lunch in the Crystal Bar as always was superb with Mark, Phil, Rob, Vad, Andrea and Jean Francois ensuring our every need was accommodated. The food was superb and our drinks were never allowed to empty. The evening meal was the usual fare of excellence, and we were able to relax and unwind. The whole weekend followed this theme. Special thanks to Mark and his team, Phil and Rob for always being there.
