Morley’s Rooms and Bistro

Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex
Boutique Hotel · 7 rooms

Overview

Located in the heart of Hurstpierpoint village, Morley’s Bistro offers more than just an exceptional dining experience. Above the bustling bistro, guests find a serene retreat in one of the five beautifully appointed guest rooms. With its prime position on the high street, Morley’s is an ideal choice for visitors seeking a blend of local charm, comfort, and convenience.

The Challenge

Before partnering with Huluki Sussex Stays, Morley’s Rooms operated as an extension of the bistro, providing accommodation with a more informal approach. The owners, passionate about their business, found managing the rooms alongside the restaurant demanding, particularly as demand grew. They recognised the potential to elevate their offering but needed expert assistance to transform their side business into a more professional and profitable venture.

Our Approach

At Huluki Sussex Stays, we specialise in managing and carefully maintaining character and period properties across Sussex. Our first step with Morley’s was to understand the unique appeal of their rooms and the historical charm of the building. Recognising that these rooms were more than just places to stay—they were integral to the village’s character—we ensured that every aspect of the guest experience reflected the quality and warmth that Morley’s Bistro is known for.
We worked closely with the owners to implement a comprehensive property management strategy, encompassing everything from guest communications to housekeeping and maintenance. Our team oversaw a redecoration project that respected the property’s period features while enhancing comfort with modern amenities. Each room now features crisp white bed linen, plump pillows, and en-suite bathrooms that exude both style and practicality.

The Transformation

With Huluki’s professional management, Morley’s Rooms have evolved into a thriving hospitality business. The rooms are consistently booked, and the owners have seen a significant increase in both revenue and guest satisfaction. The integration of professional management has allowed the owners to focus on their core passion—running the bistro—while Huluki ensures that the rooms are operated to the highest standards.

Testimonials

“We own five guest rooms above our restaurant. The rooms are much more professionally run now with Huluki than before. It feels like a real business now, rather than just a little hotel business on the side. And of course, the other exciting part is that we have grown a lot in the past three years. Our rooms are always booked up!”

Owners of Morley’s Rooms and Bistro

“We have been using Huluki to manage both our cottage and studio rentals for over 6 years now. The team cover everything for us in a personable and professional way. Occupancy levels have been steadily high every year, with Huluki proactively sourcing bookings for holidays, insurance and ‘between house move’ guest stays. We’d definitely recommend their services.”
