South Lodge Hotel
The hotel nestles on a secluded warm level terrace on a gentle south slope with fine views to the south and south-west across the Weald. The 93 acres of woodland, formal lawns, ponds and gardens are particularly impressive and effective in spring and autumn. On the front lawn of the hotel sits the largest single rhododendron in England. The Rhododendron ‘Cornish’ Arboreum is over 150 years old and standing at 25 feet tall, it produces a mass of cerise flowers in late April and early May, which is truly a sight to behold.
South Lodge is in an ideal location to host corporate events in Sussex. Its classic location, nestling in the heart of the dramatic Sussex Downs and less than an hour’s drive, or 40 miles from central London, is matched by beautifully designed facilities and an impeccably responsive service. It’s all part of what makes us one of the premiere conference venues in Sussex.
The keyword for meetings and events at South Lodge is flexibility. Our range of meeting rooms means we can accommodate you and your guests exactly; our facilities fit your requirements, not the other way round.
From a residential conference or corporate golf day to private dining and board meetings, South Lodge subtly combines traditional style, superb food and excellent service with all the modern needs, friendly faces and copious space.
