This hotel has the potential to be amazing but somehow misses the mark on a few key aspects.
Check in was brief to say the least, no offer to dine in the restaurant for dinner, or directions to where breakfast is served. Check out was much the same, no asking how was our stay.
Everywhere is just a little dilapidated and worn, from the outside through to the bedrooms. It’s a beautiful building but needs some maintenance.
Bedrooms are a really good size and we had a view out on to the little garden. Housekeeping on arrival was spot on but the daily service left much to be desired, the used towels were removed but no clean ones given (2days in a row) bottled water not replaced, toilet not cleaned, bin bag chucked on floor next to the bin.
Breakfast was perfectly adequate, small portions and a limited choice but as it’s free, you can’t really complain. Staff service was excellent, he remembered our order each morning.
Nice bar area but they can’t seem to be bothered to open it properly in the evenings, soft drinks were all lukewarm.
We travelled with our dog and staff were accommodating, with dining etc. even bringing doggy his own sausage for breakfast each day. A shame dogs aren’t allowed in the lounge area as this looked very cosy. Might be an idea for the future to place people travelling with dogs near the external doors for convenience. Especially for a £20 per night fee, the highest we have come across, maybe a welcome pack or food bowls?
The hotel is in a beautiful location in the heart of a charming yet thriving village.
The Queens Head pub is delightful, great food and service. Literally 2 mins walk away.
A solid 3.5 stars from us - yes there are a few improvements needed but nothing major, or anything that detracted from our stay. Would love to visit again to continue exploring the local area.

Located in a small hamlet opposite a traditional country pub with plenty off street parking. Greeted by a very helpful & cheerful receptionist who apparently was only on her second day. Provided with a brief tour of the hotel and shown to our rooms. Our room didn’t have plug sockets by the bedside tables & as we had essential medical equipment we asked for help. Again this wasn’t a problem for reception and extension lead provided. Rooms are comfortable with some having views over the village green and public house. The menu is varied and the food is delicious. Again very helpful staff and service was timely and cheerful. A comfortable nights sleep, we needed to turn heating off as room was very warm.
Breakfast provided was a choice of full English or continental. Very tasty locally sourced.

I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at The Brick Wall. We organised my father's retirement meal here and nothing was too much trouble for our party.

We were able to hire the beautiful private orangerie and bring presents, photos and a cake, which were placed carefully on a side table.

The food was incredible, absolutely five star, as was the silver service throughout the evening.

The surroundings are incredible, the building is quirky and the period furnishings and decorations are in keeping. We booked rooms for guests as well, and the beds were comfy and everyone slept well as the location is rural and quiet. (Expect to wake to the sound of birdsong).

Thank you. We will be back.

The hotel is situated in the lovely picturesque village of Seddlescombe, a short drive from Battle. The hotel has a good number of parking spaces, although no electric charger, and we did note there were quite a few electric cars in the car park. From the outside, the hotel looks tired and in need of some tlc. The staff member at reception was very friendly and took us to our room via a comfy seating area. Our room, no.12, overlooked a nice grass courtyard with a few tables and chairs. Unfortunately, this was where it all started to go wrong for us. The room we had certainly was nothing like those on their website, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable and the room felt somewhat dirty. One of the taps in the bathroom needed a washer change and was pouring water all night, I went back down to reception and there was no-one there to tell. We had a peek into the restaurant and decided against it as it seemed quite expensive and headed over to the excellent Queens Head pub across the road where we enjoyed a lovely meal. After one of the worst nights sleep my partner and I have ever had at a hotel we headed down to breakfast very early for a Sunday. The waiting staff were helpful, happy and engaging. The cooked breakfast was of good quality and there was a nice choice of cereals, fruit and pastries if you want to go continental. We went to check out and there was no-one there again so we left the key behind the desk. In summary, it was a very disappointing stay, the staff however have increased my star rating. I couldn't in all honesty rate it as average as it really was substandard on the basis of the room we were allocated, which needs an overhaul. Not surprisingly, we wouldn't return.

We decided to have a breakaway for a few days looking to visit Rye, originally we had booked up to stay in Rye but were told roadworks were outside our hotel all night so decided to change. I found the Brickwall by chance and what a gem. Situated in a small village the location is excellent set back and within a couple of minutes of the local Queens Head pub which serves lovely food.
When I rang a short notice the receptionist was really helpful finding us a small double on the ground floor but still a good size with bath.
The staff are really friendly and make you feel comfortable and look after your every need. The hotel is not all mod cons but offers a great deal of charm with plenty of beams and surrounded by the attractive gardens.
The breakfast was beautifully cooked and also offered a great choice of cereals and continental options.
We had a meal in the restaurant which again was very tasty and the option of 2 or 3 courses.
Outside there is plenty of parking on site as well, overall I would definitely recommend a stay.

Christmas Lunch very poor and basic for £110 per head extremely disappointing it’s really gone downhill. No music either so very dull atmosphere. Staff very good indeed not their fault at all but owner needs to get food quality back to previous standard

Very clean hotel, lovely staff and spacious rooms. Great value for money and they were extremely accommodating letting us check in extra early as we had an early wedding to get to. Would definitely stay here again! Good choice of breakfast selection too!

Spent a weekend at Brickwall Hotel and would definitely return for another visit. The hotel itself is an old manor house and it retains a lot of its original charm and is in a beautiful location. When we booked we were offered a smaller room and we were worried that it might turn out to be a cubby hole. We were pleasantly surprised to find the room had a king sized bed along with a sitting area and views out across the garden. Because we were meeting up with people we did not dine in the restaurant but the breakfast was really excellent and the service could not be faulted. All staff were helpful and polite.

Our stay was very comfortable the rooms having been recently redecorated. The service in the bar and restaurant was swift, efficient and delivered with a smile, the log fire was very welcome.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were well presented and delicious, served in a well run restaurant. All of the staff make you very welcome from the moment you arrive, even preparing my Father's birthday cake and singing happy birthday to him in the lounge.
