Lovely stay, friendly and helpful staff.

The staff were very attentive and provided an excellent service

This was our second stay at Fowlescombe Farm and it only reinforced our view that it is one of the most special places to stay in the UK. This time we stayed in the Pond Suite, which was every bit as beautifully designed and comfortable as our previous accommodation, with lovely views across the surrounding countryside. Being one of just three rooms within the Farmhouse, we particularly enjoyed having direct access to the spacious, well-equipped kitchen and the cosy lounge areas downstairs. Having visited previously in October, it was wonderful to experience the property in a completely different season. The landscape had transformed and the grounds looked stunning. The new pond area is particularly impressive and, once open, will add natural swimming and sauna facilities that look set to be another fantastic addition. Most of all, I echo everything from my previous review. The highest compliment I can pay Fowlescombe Farm is that staying there feels less like being in a hotel and more like staying with relatives - exceptionally stylish relatives, with impeccable taste, beautiful surroundings and outstanding food. It remains a rare place that combines genuine warmth with luxury, and we are already looking forward to returning again.

Very friendly staff, lovely hotel

Confusing on arriving with parking. Website advertised £6 per day and unable to reserve. On arrival parked in a space out front and informed we could not park there as all the front spaces were reserved by guests who had gone out for the day but would return. Were able to park out the back and charged £8. Arriving late that night the original space remained empty and still empty on leaving the next day. Still do not quite understand the unreserved but reserved parking situation.
