    I enjoyed a comfortable stay with friendly staff and a cozy large double room that was clean and well-stocked with amenities. the breakfast options lacked variety and the parking situation was a bit inconvenient. It's an ideal spot for a short visit.

    good breakfast
    convenient parking

    Just a fine choice for a quick layover in Lewes with attractive and competitive value for money. The breakfast was quite good, especially the cooked options that had a nice variety. Be sure to check out the nearby parking, it's quite convenient.

    Great stay near Glyndebourne

    Really enjoyed our stay here! The location is spot-on for Glyndebourne. Our room was super clean and spacious, loved the big window. the breakfast was massive and delicious. My wife had gluten-free options, which was a nice touch. Just wish the TV was bigger—seriously needed some binoculars to see it!

    hot room
    limited breakfast variety

    Found the location convenient, close to town, and appreciated the friendly staff who made the experience enjoyable. The breakfast was decent, though it could offer more variety. My room was comfortable but a bit hot, and a fan would have improved that.

    Welcoming staff and excellent dining experience

    I enjoyed a warm welcome from the staff and was pleased with the superb quality of the food offered in the pub. The cozy atmosphere added to the experience, making it a great place for an evening meal after a day of exploring Lewes. the room showed signs of wear, particularly with the wardrobe, which could use some maintenance.

    great meal
    nice breakfast
    dark room
    bathroom needs hooks

    we had a warm welcome from the cheerful manager, and our small double room was perfect for us. the meal was really great, especially on a wet evening, and the staff were super friendly and hardworking. the breakfast was nice and substantial, so we didn't feel the need to eat out at all. plus, the whole place was well maintained and it’s cool they name the rooms after sussex celebs!

    only downside was the room was a bit dark at night with not enough lighting, and it could use some more hooks in the bathroom for towels.

    comfy room
    helpful staff

    Had an awesome time with friends! We hit up some great spots, especially Lewes Golf Club. The place had a relaxed vibe, and we loved the comfy room. Staff were super helpful, too. Just a heads up though, breakfast could use some variety. It’s mostly continental, so don’t expect a huge spread.

    Target audience decent stay

    Had a lovely meal that really hit the spot after a tough day. The staff were friendly enough that I felt like they genuinely cared about our comfort.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but it was still acceptable.
