2/10 Poor

Don’t venture out the back of the hotel. Absolutely shocking with tramps living in the rear accommodation block. Would not recommend at all.
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely historic hotel. Very comfortable room and bed and would happily stay again. Shower could have been more powerful and staff at breakfast could be more welcoming but otherwise all good.

Pelham was lovely although we originally booked a room in the hotel which I think would have had more character. Bed was super comfy.

Lovely Stay

As this stay was purchased via Tesco Clubcard Rewards I was expecting the usual quality lottery, however I was pleasantly surprised. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and well located. It’s right on top of the castle which unfortunately for us was shut, so we passed our time in the local pubs and restaurants, of which there are plenty. I would definitely stay here again, but as others have suggested, have a plan about where to park

Wonderful Lewes experience

It was amazing. We paid for a cosy room, and it certainly was. The sloping beamed ceiling required you to maintain your concentration when manoevering around the room. Nice touches were the edible treats to welcome you.
