I have stayed repeatedly at the South Lodge Hotel on conferences over the last three years. My recommendation is that it's a great hotel to soak up the atmosphere of a country house on the South Downs - for one night. After that, the hotel is a bit tiresome. Showers do not hold a constant temperature, leaving you at the... more

South Lodge is an old country house with much history (carefully explained in the hotel literature), located in a small village quiet a few miles away from the A23. There is a large hall like reception area, the staff are very friendly, explaining the fluffy dog is the hotel's do not disturb sign. We booked a junor suite with views... more

Having stayed in fantastic hotels on business around the world, I am usually very critical of hotels and restaurants in the UK. However, I was charmed by South Lodge and had a thoroughly relaxing weekend. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we checked in -- and a complimentary upgrade was a lovely surprise. Throughout our stay,... more

Just go back from South Lodge in Lower Bedding what a wonderful hotel and I am normally very critical. I dislocated my Knee 2 months ago and on check in we were offered a groun floor room but we decided I could manage the stairs so Simon the Duty Manager offered my a piggy back up the three flights.

I booked this hotel based on the reviews I read on Trip Advisor and I wasn't disappointed. We had a Luxury Double Room with views over the South Downs which were fantastic.

100%, 24 carat, unadulterated pure decadence. Beautiful grounds, staff who cannot do enough for you and wonderful, well-appointed, luxurious rooms. Restaurant is mind-bendingly delicious with sensitive and polite staff who'll make you feel like a king even on a pauper's budget. One of the sexiest, most indulgent places we've ever stayed in. more

This is a fantastic and understated hotel. The views and countryside are magnificent and the service faultless and discreet. The rooms are really big and the restaurant is definitely 5 stars, although a bit pricey. We went on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis which is extremely good value but make sure you arrive hungry for dinner as it is... more
