A familiar welcome in Haywards Heath, comfortable stays, thoughtfully done

For generations, The Birch Hotel has been a familiar and welcoming presence in the heart of Mid Sussex — a place where travellers pause, rest and feel at home.

Independently owned and thoughtfully run, the hotel sits proudly on the B2272, just moments from Haywards Heath town centre. Its location has long made it a natural stopping point, with easy access to the A23 and M23, and convenient connections to Brighton, Gatwick Airport and London. Today, it continues to welcome business travellers, leisure guests and visiting families alike, just as it always has.

Inside, you’ll find 51 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, each designed for a good night’s sleep rather than unnecessary fuss. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, from bedrooms to public areas, allowing you to work, relax or stay connected with ease.

Situated opposite the Princess Royal Hospital and close to the town’s shops and businesses, The Birch Hotel remains a trusted choice for those who value simplicity, warmth and convenience — a hotel that understands the importance of feeling settled, whether you’re staying for one night or a little longer.

If you’re looking for an honest, comfortable stay in Haywards Heath, you’ll find it here, and if you book with us directly, you'll always get the best price and best policy cancellation guarantee.
