We were having a new bathroom installed so treated ourselves to a few days away. We have often visited the Brighton area, but this small hotel was a real treasure.

This is the second time we have stayed in this wonderful family run hotel. Nicky and Phillip are always warm and friendly, making us feel welcome. We were as thrilled at this visit as we were our first and have no doubt we will return again for a quite relaxing weekend. The food is outstanding, generous portions and beautifully presented.

What a wonderful find! The Olde Forge Hotel is a superb place to stay. Philip and Nicky are welcoming and friendly. They were especially caring as I was unwell and I felt they were really concerned for my wellbeing. Not many hotel owners would have sat with my husband while he ate his dinner,as I was confined to the bedroom!... More
