Wonderfully fantastic peaceful stay at Courtland Nurseries, the breakfast is delicious and the hosts are friendly, warm welcome by all including a very cute Jack Russell. Highly recommended B n B for a quiet get-away to scenic Sussex. Lui.

We had a brief stay at courtland nurseries during the Easter break, but wish it would have been extended. The sense of peace you get from the place is enormous. We had the best sleep in a long time. As for the kids, they never wanted to go back. Never knew that simple things like seeing chickens or playing with poppy (the most friendly pup I have ever seen), getting Easter eggs for breakfast could bring this much joy in their lives. They felt ‘at home’ and the same with us.All the credit goes to our kind hosts, who goes extents to make sure of this.Thank you so much Lindsay and family:) we will be back for sure (if you let us in)

Our stay at Courtlands Nurseries Bed & Breakfast was truly enjoyable. This haven of hospitality offers much more than a charming B&B experience.Families like ours will particularly appreciate a trip to Hever Castle and Gardens, a place that provided us with a delightful day out. A little further north, in Chartwell, is the family home of Sir Winston Churchill. This picturesque area of rolling hills and woodland is therefore rich in beauty and history, and we highly recommend future visitors to explore it.The B&B itself, run by Lindsay and her husband, is a paradise of flowers, plants and small trees. Our son had great fun playing with Lindsay's young dog, while we enjoyed the enchanting view of the meticulously tended garden from our comfortably furnished, garden-facing room.Every detail, from the care taken in preparing our room to the perfectly presented breakfast, was attended to with professionalism and warmth. Lindsay's dedication to her guests is palpable, and she has a knack for making everyone feel even better than they do at home.In conclusion, if you're looking for a home away from home in a place brimming with history and natural beauty, look no further than Courtlands Nurseries B&B. Stay here and experience a rare level of exceptional hospitality. It's a guarantee: you'll leave with fond memories and the desire to return.

I stayed at Courtlands whilst attending a photography workshop in Crawley, about 25 minutes away. Courtlands is in a delightful quiet and secluded spot.  …

My husband and I needed a place to rest our heads for one night before a morning flight back to Canada. We were delighted with the room-clean and spacious, the warm welcome and the delicious full English breakfast. We had such a great chat over breakfast we lost track of time and had to make a hasty exit to get to Gatwick on time!!We most definitely would return, if in the area. Thank you Lindsay.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Courtlands Nurseries. A very good and spacious family room, and a great breakfast with eggs, fruit and veg from their own gardens. It's fairly close to some great family attractions as well, like the Bluebell Railway. The gardens, greenhouses and polytunnels are an inspiration for any gardeners. We've come home with lessons and ideas on how to improve our own garden as well.
