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 Room

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

We had a lovely stay here, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, great service. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the bar, dining and outside terrace were very stylish.

A beautiful old building lovingly refurbished with gorgeous decor. The staff were wonderful and the little touches in the room the icing on the cake.

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.

Excellent stay. I have stayed numerous times before prior to it being sold. I was however very disappointed that the car park is no longer.

The White Hart has been beautifully refurbished with great attention to detail. Room was lovely, as was the bathroom, and the use of space in a very old building. Very comfortable. Would happily stay again.
