With miles of glorious Sussex countryside on your doorstep and plenty of room to stretch their legs, Gildridge Estate is the ultimate canine country escape.

Our family group ranged from toddler to pensioners . We were very impressed with what the host provided. We used the hot tub, table tennis, croquet set, board games, the tennis court and had a sing along using the karaoke machine. Spacious kitchen and living room with plenty of comfortable seating and plenty of bedrooms for our needs. Great for family group like ours.

We had a brilliant time at Gildridge Estate. The house is perfect for a large group and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. It is the perfect house for entertaining, we had BBQs, played table tennis and darts and used the hot tub. The location is easy to find and get in and Gary met us on arrival just to see if we needed anything extra. Would happily book again for another reunion gathering in the future! Jack Harvey
