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!
Richard, 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.
Victoria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

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

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Alicia, 2-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.
Ian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The downside is no parking at the venue . Parking nearby reasonably priced but very busy on a Saturday.
Pauline, 1-night trip

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.

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