Lovely Father’s Day dinner at Wickwoods. The staff (Misha, Rosie and I think his name was Joe) were absolutely fantastic- friendly, welcoming and professional. Thank you to all three for giving us such a lovely afternoon. …

Looking to find new gym with pool and booked a tour at Wickwoods as part of David Lloyd group. Thanks so much to the brilliant ladies in Sales, Zeba and Ellie. They clearly love what they do and are passionate about every aspect of a wonderful club. This was my second visit and nothing was too much trouble. Previous visit was as a guest of friend and included a Sunday lunch, arguably one of the best roasts I have eaten in Sussex recently... superb. Thank you Ellie & Zeba.

We had such a lovely visit to Wickwoods. The bed and breakfast package was fantastic value and the atmosphere and everything about our visit felt comfortable and luxurious without feeling pretentious. The indoor tennis courts were amazing and brilliant to have that included in the stay and the outdoor spa area was so relaxing. The food in the restaurant was delicious and again superb value. We will definitely be back 😊

I’ve not stayed here yet so can’t rate the rooms but had a lovely family lunch recently, food was so fresh and tasted incredible. Often at these types of venues service can let them down, but not here, nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so helpful. This feels like a hidden gem and I’m looking forward to visiting and staying around Christmas.

We can’t thank Wickwoods enough! Jenny and the whole team made our wedding day so special. It was a stress free day and our guests felt very well looked after. The venue is stunning, the hotel rooms are very luxurious and kept clean. …

Wickwoods is a beautiful countryclub in a gorgeous setting. The people are super friendly and warm and it has a nice feel to the place. With works due to start, I hope it retains the current feel that is harmonious with the surrounding nature. The outdoor spa is a particularly nice feature to enjoy and I look forward to seeing the renovations. The gym is a bit small but normally isn't too crowded and again, is due renovation. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades.

I don't enjoy paying a lot of money to be treated like garbage. It was good a good gym with pool but now terrible. When I joined back in February 2024 it was the closest gym with a pool to our house; even though it was quite expensive then it was nice, quiet and had enough equipment. The pool was small but you could book your own lane which was great. It was good for the first month or two then started to get neglected.The changing rooms and gym are very dirty now (less clean than K2 or Triangle) and i go various times of day and it is always very dirty, especially in the changing rooms where dirt comes in from muddy shoes. The Air con hasn't been working in the mens changing room for at least 2 months now and various mold is growing out of the tiles in the shower area.They are about to close the pool for 3 months but are not offering a discount to the rate I am paying. So now its full price for a sub-standard gym with no pool and covered in dirt. We took the offer to go to the Marina to use the pool but the marina is very bad compared to K2 or Triangle (both the facilities and cleanliness are worse) and I couldnt get in the pool due to classes there.I did send my concerns in to the david lloyds email and the best they could do is offer for me to pay £80 extra per month to not attend while the pool is being renovated, they are not allowing a reduction in rate or allowing me to cancel membership.The shower gel smells nice. The chips were good if they still sell them. The pool and cafe staff are nice and friendly and i went to one class which was good.
