i had a stress buster weekend at Brickwall Hotel , and it met all my needs. thankyou
Pros:

all meals were actually excellent .! my compliments to the chef and front of house staff.
room 27 and bed were comfortable and clean .
receptionist was very welcoming and helpful .
plenty of free car parking spaces .

Cons:

the en suite bathroom was adequate although very small , even for me ( i'm a small woman).
this could be helped by turning the door round , so that it opens into the bedroom, rather than into the bathroom.
there was not enough space for me to dry myself after my shower , so i had to towel dry in the bedroom .

Friendly, traditional, comfortable hotel in a good location for visiting East Sussex.
Pros:

The staff at the hotel were really lovely; very friendly and caring. As a woman travelling alone to visit family I felt safe and respected. There were people staying at the hotel who clearly come every year, which is a good sign! The hotel has an old-world charm about it, and was comfortable and cosy. I really loved the residents' lounge, which was a nice place to sit and read, as well as to chat with other guests. My room was spotlessly clean and well-equipped and the bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. It felt homely somehow! It's also in a good location for visiting places East Sussex.

Cons:

There really wasn't anything major that I didn't like.

Wonderful due to the amazing and very attentive staff. Our family has been a few times now and they feel like old friend
Pros:

We love the little lounge to the right of reception. The bar is very nice, particularly by the nice fire. And the restaurant is wonderful

Cons:

Some of the bedrooms/bathrooms are a little dated but this is a very minor thing
