    inconvenient parking
    lack of variety

    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!

    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.

    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.
