Reviews of Plumpton House 3 stars

Location is excellent for the Tunnel Able to accommodate two families Parking on site We could bring take away food back to eat downstairs

Poor communications as we had made a couple of queries about where to eat in the evening but our questions were unanswered Interior is dated, could do with updating including more power points

The house was very very peaceful. Mac Donald's was only a 10 minute drive away. There was a reasonable sized car park.

Despite expecting a room with a bathroom, something that is very standard these days, I had to use a shared bathroom across the landing. If you look very carefully at the advert in detail, it will mention this eventually after originally suggesting a private bathroom. The breakfast only starts being served at 8am which is a bit late if you need to travel somewhere or get to work. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you have to travel down tiny windy country lanes with potholes and no street lamps. Lastly, apart from being able to drive to Mac Donald's there really isn't anything else around.

spacious room with comfy bed

Thin walls caused some noise.

It was a very peaceful setting and wonderful view of the hills. Tony is an amazing chef. We added breakfast to our day and we thought it was a generous amount of food for the money. We also had family come to dinner (an extra cost) We had salad, 2 main dishes, and a wonderful dessert.

The host seemed to be working on his own but it did not affect the service.

Nicely places for channel tunnel No frills but clean and helpful owner

Beautiful house

Severe clean needed of all rooms, especially the kitchen.

Good breakfast, but no marmalade! (essential for an English breakfast), which cost £10 extra. Wonderful breakfast room with view overlooking the countryside.

I didn't meet Maya, but presumably her husband, who had a little of the Basil Fawlty about him, but we got there in the end! No provision of evening meal, and some distance from civilisation to obtain an evening meal - I had to walk about 3 miles.

Tony was warm and welcoming, rooms where comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very nice and overall a fantastic place to stay would recommend to anyone

Nothing

The house does not look too welcoming from the outside but was nice inside with a big sitting room and winter garden for breakfast. Reception and parking was easy. We had booked a two single bed room and got a really spacious and light family room with a solid and comfortable kingsize bed and a single bed upstairs the main house. The big sofa was clean, too. The view into the countryside was stunning. Big bathroom with clean facilities like a bath tub and a good shower. It was quiet and peaceful.

The only negative thing was the very spotty and rugged white carpet in the room and in the bathroom, too. That was rather disgusting! So you better bring along your slippers. But the beautiful and quiet room weighs that out.

Lovely view from Bathroom window

Greeting as we arrived at check in. He was very rude. Extremely dismissive attitude made to feel very unwelcome.

lovely large bright room, beautiful location, excellent breakfast

Decor a little tired

The location was stunning. Very spacious and picturesque. The rooms were also just lovely. Breakfast was also great value for money.

One of our party had a room which was incredibly hot and didn’t have a fan; it might be an idea to have a fan in each room.

Location

Advertising deceiving - no mention of one bathroom/toilet being shared by multiple rooms. Made it difficult in the morning having to listen for the bathroom door unlocking to dive in. All decor dated and worn. Curtains torn in multiple places. It felt dirty even if it wasn't.

Nice location, peaceful, great breakfast, good sized room and bathroom, clear communication and directions

Was a bit dirty in places. Bathroom wasn't the best, shower pressure in particular was extremely weak. Walls were a bit thin, could hear other guests at times

Everything was great.

- location "in the middle of nowhere" (idyllic & quiet) - beautiful interior decor - the en-suite double bedroom on the first floor at the back of the building is very spacious, bright and has the most beautiful views across the surrounding scenery - huge, comfortable lounge - big, bright conservatory at the back of the house - very yummy freshly cooked breakfast at GBP 10 extra per person - I particularly loved the host's affectionate, playful pug who did her bid to give guests a warm welcome when they arrive

- location "in the middle of nowhere" (you definitely need a car to go places) - ironic that the 3-bed family room is smaller and without any en-suite facilities while the much larger double bedroom comes with its own large bathroom. It certainly should be the other way round... - communication with the hosts proved to be a bit difficult. We did not get any replies to our texts

Location

Sharing a bathroom.......toilet and shower in same room therefore one must wait or feel conscious of others waiting . No privacy . Room facilities were poor ...bare minimum coffee /tea . For business travellers No soaps or essentials provided.
