Hotel in Haywards Heath

Simply good, restful accommodation in the heart of Haywards Heath

The Birch Hotel offers 51 comfortable, en-suite bedrooms, ideal for both business and leisure stays.

Originally built in 1874 as a country house, the hotel still retains much of its original character — including our oak-panelled lounge with fireplace and striking Victorian staircase — alongside practical, modern comforts introduced with later extensions.

Whether you’re staying overnight for work, enjoying a short break, or visiting friends and family in the area, our rooms provide a calm, welcoming base with everything you need for a good night’s rest.
