East Sussex National is around 10 minutes' drive from the South Downs National Park (an International Dark Sky Reserve) and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making the hotel a great base from which to explore their rolling hills and bustling market towns.
There are plenty of sites for history buffs to explore. In Lewes, which is 15 minutes' drive away, there is a ruinous Norman castle and a priory, as well as a Tudor house that belonged to Anne of Cleves. Battle, where the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066, is around 40 minutes' drive away, as is Brighton, home of the famous Pavilion.
In 2017, East Sussex National was awarded four AA Silver Stars, which signify that a property offers a superior level of quality in hospitality, service and cleanliness.
The Pavilion Restaurant has two AA Rosettes and serves a collection of dishes prepared with ingredients sourced from local suppliers. The Hunnington Restaurant and Ryder Bar & Terrace is in the golf club house and serves traditional home cooking, light lunches and sandwiches. The Sussex Lounge has outdoor seating in the gardens or on the balcony terrace.
Club Rooms have Wi-Fi and private balconies overlooking the golf course.
The health club offers aerobics classes (supplements apply) and its facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a spa pool, a sauna, and steam room and a gym. Horsted Spa has an aromatherapy room, a monsoon shower, a Jacuzzi, a steam room, a sauna and a relaxation room. Massages and exfoliation treatments are available at a supplement, but there is limited availability in the spa on weekends and treatments should be pre-booked. There are also two golf courses: the East Course and West Course.
From the press:
"The cuisine is enjoyable; particularly at breakfast, which is served in the restaurant that overlooks the course" -- The AA Hotel Guide 2018

Everything was excellent. My partner and I have serious mobility problems. The staff were not fazed by this and gave us tremendous support,including wheelchair service. The young man called Joe was especially helpful and kind. The room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was A1 for the disabled. The bedroom had a lovely balcony giving a very open outlook onto beautiful grounds.We have already booked other stays as this hotel will be up there among our very best favourites. The hotel is generously staffed and the young staff had obviously been very well trained to be welcoming and provide excellent,professional service. Overall,very impressive.

Evening service was a bit chaotic, perhaps short staffed.
Noticed some diners had to wait a long time and also plates were not cleared in good time. Also not clear that Travelzoo people could also order from thr bar menu. Menu in main restaurant was only three choices per course but food was good.

Young, delightful and helpful staff.
Would have liked room to be serviced earlier - had to ask. Felt chef was trying too hard: why roast new potatoes and call chick peas in tomato sauce a "bean cassoulet"? A cassoulet is a complete meal and contains several kinds of meat and sausage - it is NOT an accompaniment to cod fillet! But quality of food was good and portions generous - and the soups were outstanding.
Felt the 3-night deal on half board was excellent value and hope it will be repeated - had a really excellent break.

My elderly Mum (95) was admitted to Worthing Hospital with life threatening symptoms and is currently in a heart ward. The reception reaffirmed we had to pay whatever the situation. I think this is where we shall give up using the no means of no recompense. British Airways have allowed us to change the airfare we had booked to another date, just for an admin fare.

During the evening meal they had a very large party of mostly men who were incredibly noisy and disruptive in their behavour.The noise was so loud that we could hardly hear ourselves speak let alone be able to talk with some very nice people on the table adjacent to us .It was most surprising that such a large group were not sited in a private room where they would not disrupt others

The only thing that was slightly lacking compared to other hotels that we have stayed at is the breakfast options. Other hotels allow you to have fresh food made to order. i.e. an omelette, porridge or poached eggs. Apart from that , we thought that the hotel was really nice.
