Customer Reviews
“Coulsdon Manor and Golf Club”
Stayed Saturday night with DBB. A gift from our friends. Near Purley and Mayfield's Lavender Farm. Can be tricky to find. Great hotel, friendly staff and good food and service. Bar open 24 hours but credit card details required on booking if you want to drink use bar after 11 pm. Lift and disabled facilities (ask). Great golf course/scenery. Good room (110). A mix of old and new. Recommended.
“Average”
Hotel was nice but a bit run down and need some TLC. The staff were pleasant but it just seemed like it was everyone's first day and no one knew what they were doing. Food was good though!
“Disappointment in every sense”
After having our wedding reception at Coulsdon Manor we thought using a one night experience voucher gift there would be a great way to reminisce. How wrong we could have been! For a start the hotel reception was freezing due to a broken window, but the bar (only entertainment), was out of action for refit and the make shift restaurant bar was awful, so uncomfortable! The room was dirty, shabby and broken. The grounds looked unkept and all the communal decor was the same from 2004! Very poor!
