Disappointed
We were so disappointed with our stay, the property should not be open during the COVID pandemic. We stayed for 2 nights, no maid service so clean your own room etc. The waiter in the restaurant which was open the first night was friendly and attentive and the meal was ok. The restaurant was closed on the second night. No indication on the website that service is restricted. A lovely property which unfortunately is run down and urgently in need of some TLC.

A good place to stay!
The Hotel needs an update on carpets as looking tired but the overall cleanliness of the Hotel was good. We did not eat there so cannot comment on that. They had put thought into dealing with the present Covid needs which was reassuring. It was disappointing that our rooms were not ready for over an hour after booking in time. Rooms were quiet and the location good. I would recommend it.

This was a couple's one-night stay for a short visit to Lewes. The location, character, cleanliness, quality and size of the standard room, private parking and staff attention were all really good. We did not have the (optional) breakfast. The overall experience was quite positive taking into account that it was the hotel's first opening day after the pandemic lockdown.

Lovely stay
Lovely hotel, very welcoming staff too. Room and bed very comfortable but it does need redecorating throughout and the bathroom tho clean does need a refresh of paint work and grout and sealer on tiles. Facilities in room good tea/coffee etc, hairdryer and bottled water in room. Toiletries in bathroom and fluffy towels. Shower very good

Excellent Lewes property
No complaints, only slight negative was the bed, a little too firm for my liking. Property was very clean and beautifully kept. Easy access to public transportation. Definitely worth a visit.

Food wasn't good. The cheese on the cheese board was cold. And breakfast was overpriced and not very nice. I wasn't given any butter or jam for my toast and the scrabbled eggs were insipid.
