Hollywood star Ray Milland owned this house for over 20 years - wonderful combination of old-world charms, modern conveniences and English service. Wooden doors, antiques, soft-close toilet seats, beamed ceilings and yes, straw roof. Breakfast to order, music playing softly as you gaze off into the garden lawns and forest beyond the natural wooden gate. Quiet but on a busy... More

We stayed at this B&B as a base for visiting the Ardingly Antique Fair. This is the most beautiful house and we would thoroughly recommend it. If you want to stay in a welcoming, spotlessly clean B&B then look no further. The rooms are charming and every window of the house provides a view of their beautiful garden. The welcome... More

WOW. That was my reaction on seeing the house. The wife and I stayed here on the 27 of September for 3 nights. Mary and Geoff are really friendly, helpful and approachable and quick to offer a cup of tea. they really seem to enjoy running a B&B and engaging with their guests. The breakfasts are really good with the... More

Myself & my partner enjoyed a lovely stay here - we arrived late due to flight delay & dreadful weather but Mary & Geoff were friendly & welcoming.

The bedroom was beautifully appointed and, as a person rather fussy about bathrooms, I was delighted that the ensuite was immaculate. I... More

We stayed here for one night back in July and absolutely adored the Thatched House. Mary and Geoff were extremely welcoming and nothing was too much for them. The house itself is beautiful both outside and within. The whole place was spotless and felt so comforting, just like being in your own home. Mary's breakfast was to die for and... More

I had a wonderful stay at The Thatched House B&B on my very first overseas visit to England. Geoff and Mary were very kind and helpful on making sure I had transportation, suggestions on where to eat, and places to go and see. I would definately come back and stay again!!! Great place to go and get away from work... More

On leaving, our thoughts were, how could we be that lucky ending up here? From the welcome to the farewell, we felt like the most welcomed guests. Geoff and Mary. The area. The building. The rooms. The atmosphere. The peace and tranquillity. The breakfast. The standard. The comfort. To be placed in their home that way. The willingness to do... More

I stayed here for one night whilst in the area for work purposes and it was an excellent choice. From the beautiful decor to the high standards of cleanliness and comfort, everything was even better than I could have wished. Geoff and Mary are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble, even down to posting my clothes that I... More

Excellent in every way. Beautiful home, lovely bedroom, attentive and caring hosts, delicious breakfasts. The attention to detail made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend the Thatched House highly enough!
