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."

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."

Luxury Lewes house with stunning views and private south facing garden

10/10 Excellent

"Lewes Heights is a large house on the outskirts of Lewes, but a short drive from the centre. It is very well appointed and equipped and has six bedrooms and can sleep up to ten persons. Everything about it works well to provide comfort and ease of living. There are some excellent views out to the downs and the garden is attractive and a comfortable place in which to spend time. We had a very pleasant two nights there and enjoyed it thoroughly. It is not cheap, but provides excellent value for money. The owner was very helpful and rapidly responsive. Strongly recommended"

The Ram Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were utterly charmed by the setting and staff. The food was wonderful with such local flavors. Highly recommend! Perfect."
