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.

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

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, a nice touch. Just wish the TV was bigger-seriously needed some binoculars to see it!

Found the location convenient, close to town, and appreciated the friendly staff. 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.

Cute 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. The room showed signs of wear, particularly with the wardrobe, which could use some maintenance.
