Top Lewes Castle Hotel Reviews

The Old Dairy, 200 years old and newly converted

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks Robin and Christine for an amazing stay! I really didn’t want to go home. It’s a beautiful area and the house was perfect - it’s really well equipped and practical but there’s also a lot of attention to detail and thought put into it which made it a really special place."

The Blacksmiths Arms

10/10 Excellent

"This lovely old pub in the heart of in the Sussex countryside is cosy and welcoming. It's a hotel/inn, pub, and Jamaican-focused restaurant all rolled into one. The welcome was as warm as the Caribbean from hosts Barrie (Jamaican) and Drexie (German), the husband and wife combo running this place. There's a nice garden in the back for summer nights and BBQs. The rooms are pleasant with traditional touches and modern fittings and wonderful linens. The shower is a bit weak. The bar is well stocked with a wide range of beers and a good wine list from wine buff Barrie. Full English breakfast was wonderful, high quality. We noted the appealing Jamaican lunch and dinner menu and will be coming back for that."

The Dorset

8/10 Good

"Convenient accommodation and parking to attend the opera at Glyndebourne. Room comfortable, but difficult to open the windows, and there appeared to be damp in the bathroom floor below the cistern. Good selection for the help-yourself buffet breakfast. Staff helpful and friendly. Parking easily accessible, but very crowded on arrival at 2pm on a Friday afternoon."

Castle Bank Terrace - just a few minutes walk to the high street

8/10 Good

"The townhouse was clean with three separate bedrooms and two baths. It was very near to high Street so it was an excellent location. One drawback was that it was very hot outside and only two fans were available for the bedrooms. Make sure that you have access to Wi-Fi to retrieve the check-in information ahead of time. The host was very prompt in answering any inquiries that we may have had."

Charming 2 bedroom Townhouse located in Lewes

8/10 Good

"The mid-terrace house is very handy for Lewes and it was a very convenient place to stay for a few days. There were permits to park the car on the street in front, which was great. It was rather confusing as I'd thought that was the case when I'd booked but then I'd been told there was no parking in the message just before I arrived. It was very comfy and had pretty much all you could want."

Rural Retreat in deepest Sussex

10/10 Excellent

"Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Eugene‘s Cottage. Tolle Lage für Ausflüge in der Umgebung und viele Wanderwege direkt vom Cottage aus. Ideal, wenn man mit Hund unterwegs ist."

Cottage attached to 400 year old listed Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Landelijk huisje, alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Vriendelijke hosts. Werden met verse eitjes en witte wijn verwelkomt!"

The White Hart - A Heartwood Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The bar and conservatory restaurant at the back overlook the glorious English countryside, and the menu was varied and delicious."

Downs Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great room with lovely staff and great breakfast."
