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 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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic inn. It's been superbly and sympathetically renovated and is the perfect balance of new and old. Staff were excellent, friendly and professional. Basically faultless!

Very nice room in a lovely period property. The free sweets is a nice touch and proper milk for a brew is nice after a long day.
Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was ok …considering the cost without breakfast. Shower was the highlight. There were no tissues in the room. The radio was a nice touch.

8/10 Very good

recently reopened, a very promising gem of a hotel

This is a beautifully renovated old hotel that lacks an elevator and AC due to being an historically listed site. The staff is friendly and carried up my bag to the "snug." The small room is beautiful, as is the bathroom. I think a very small chair could be added in the dainty space and would be helpful. As I was there in a heat wave, it was uncomfortably warm. The smalI fan helped a bit after I figured out exactly how to place it next to the window frame. Lovely bedding. I suggested that in a heat wave there should be an option for a top sheet as a bed covering rather than the duvet, which was unbearable. The hotel restaurants are good and include alternative options such as possibilities for GF and DF when requested However they are not open around the 11AM checkout time, when some travelers might wish to have brunch or an early lunch. There is a good cafe nearby that has many alternative offerings, called, I think, "Depot." It's right near the train station. It's clean and spacious. I chose this hotel for it's proximity - 900 ft. - to the train station from which the Glyndebourne Festival operates coaches for attendees. It was a lovely experience.

This hotel is amazing for people may age who appreciate a bit of history, like going back in time.

Great place to stay

Great hotel, room 6 was super comfortable and quiet. Had a great stay! Staff are fantastic. Place is clean. Food was excellent.

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.

Wonderful stay

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.
Penelope, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great

We had a lovely time. The decor is very nice. Our bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean. It was quiet. The staff were friendly. The bar was Buzzy but not overcrowded. My one gripe and my husband‘s was that we decided to pay for breakfast in the morning. We had scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. It was £9.50 when it turned up. It was one slice of toast and a not overly generous portion of eggs which was somewhat disappointing we would’ve expected at least two slices of toast with eggs on both for almost £10! other than that we really enjoyed it and we would be back.

Bra opphold!

Meget fornøyde med rommet. Hotellet er oppdatert men interiøret og stilen er beholdt med rustikk sjarm. Anbefales.

It was convenient and very near the centre of Lewes. The property maintained its historic connections to Lewes. It was very comfortable.
Patricia, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old hotel, and very comfortable - but note this does mean it doesn't have a lift, so you may want to request a room on the first floor if stairs are a difficulty. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. Great location in the centre of Lewes (though remember Lewes is built on a hill, and it's at the top of the hill).
Nigel, 2-night trip

Stands out from the herd

The White Hart is a lovely hotel that has been seamlessly renovated. It feels old and cosy, yet modern at the same time..everything is very high quality. The beds are comfortable ...we stayed in a pet free room and the dining area is separated into dog and non dog, which we appreciated. Breakfast choices were top class, though on both mornings we felt the poached eggs arrived chilled rather than warm, which took the edge off things. Dinner the first night was fantastic. On the second we both had rump steak. This looked as if it was cooked just right but was sadly rather tougher than we have experienced elsewhere. Perhaps it had not been allowed to rest or the butcher had provided a cut below normal standard. We will definitely return
