The Experience

Breakfast in a light-filled, chinoiserie dining room – there’s an effortless elegance to this manor house, once home to one of King Charles’s Cavaliers. Bedrooms are atmospheric, one in French style. The treats continue outside with a beautiful flower garden annually replenished with 5,000 tulips, a lake and orchard, a swimming pool and a tennis court – fabulous. Dine under the pergola in summer: food is a passion and Sarah’s menus are adventurous with a modern slant. Glyndebourne is close so make a party of it and take a divine ‘pink’ hamper, with blankets or a table and chairs included.

Reviews

Anne, Amherst

We stayed for 3 nights at Old Whyly. What a wonderful experience - beautiful and historic property, comfortable and lovely accommodations, and wonderful food. Sarah made us feel right at home - the outside of the property and her gardens are beautiful. The location was quiet, but SO accessible to all the local places in Sussex we wanted to see. And, we had the extra treat of meeting Sarah's delightful little dog Minnie (a real sweetheart). Highly recommend and hope to visit again soon.


Rosemary, Adelaide

We loved our stay at Old Whyly. Sarah is a very gracious host and good fun as well! The house and garden are beautiful, the food delicious and we felt totally at home. We would highly recommend as a place to stay and would love to return ourselves one day.


Pamela, Farnham

An absolute oasis. Sarah made us feel very at home. As well as breakfast we chose to have supper and what a treat. Prepared and cooked by our host it was devine and scrumptious. The gardens and grounds are stunning. Full of interest, beauty and peace. Wildlife spotting too!


Richard, Maidenhead

We have stayed several times at Old Whyly. We could not praise it more highly. The house is delightful and surrounded by wonderful gardens. It is a very peaceful location. We relax there the moment we arrive. Sarah is the perfect host and a very talented cook. Booking ahead particularly during the Glyndebourne is to be recommended.


Michael, Folkestone

My partner and I spent two nights at this charming house set in it's own well kept grounds. The welcome we received from Sarah was warm and very friendly and our room was spacious and furnished with all that was required for a most comfortable and relaxed stay. We enjoyed our pre-dinner gin and tonics in the well furnished lounge prior to enjoying our evening meal in the candle lit dinning room which, along with our breakfasts, were prepared by our host to a high standard. This is certainly a property I would visit again just to totally relax and enjoy the peace and quiet offered.
