Buxted Park Hotel
Uckfield, East Sussex, England.
Although the present house was constructed in 1722, the history of Buxted Park dates back some 900 years.
Once owned by the Medley family – keepers of the Privy Purse for King Henry VIII – Buxted is set within more than three hundred acres of grounds, yet is also a mere half hour from Gatwick airport. Mind, there were no jet aircraft in existence when George V and Queen Mary were entertained by former owner Basil Ionides (famed designer of London’s Savoy Hotel)). And the great & good were often to be found in residence well before then; the romantic poet William Wordsworth is also reputed to have stayed at the house.
As an aside, film fans will no doubt be interested to learn that Marlon Brando also spent time at the hotel.
Buxted Park is four star rated and features over 40 guest bedrooms and suites. Brighton and Royal Tunbridge Wells are within easy reach by car to the south and north respectively.
