Michelham Priory Reviews (from Google)

Average rating 4.6/5 from 5 reviews.

• They offered wheelchair and that also have a mobility scooter but there was only one avalible which another couple had. The wheel chairs where very hard to push around on the gravel and made it difficult to see all of the site. The grounds were lovely even for out of season and there was plenty of space in the dining room.

• Fantastic place, lots to look at (check out the on site blacksmith ) nice cafe with friendly staff  (and ducks that kids will love ). Lots of history and whole room of paintings of Sussex scenes from the past. Not too hard to find off A22.
