This was our favorite hotel during our stay In the UK. The staff made us feel at home and the hotel restaurant is fabulous, one of the best meals we ate during our trip. We will definitely be back again

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room looked recently refurbished, was large and had everything we needed. Spotlessly clean. Location is perfect and wasn't too noisy even on a Bank Holiday weekend

The camping pod was really cosy and clean, much roomier and more comfortable than I expected. The pods are really well kitted out with kitchenware and home comforts, which is perfect for a solo traveller who can't carry too much with them. Lovely little coffee/tea hamper provided and the hob was really easy to use.
The pods are warm and well lit, with a great little decking area to sit out on into the evening.
Very comfortable beds and bedding, plenty of towels in the shower room and all the little extra things you might need have been thought of.
I would highly recommend the Scallows and would love to visit again myself one day.

So much history. Loved the buildings, the motte and bailey castle, the priory remains in the park, the independent shops and cafés. Everything is within walking distance. Great to have a railway station and Brighton only 9 miles away. Superb views and walks over the South Downs.

Interesting county town.
Interesting county town. A few things to do inside there (eg castle and priory, Depot cinema by the station). Or excellent transport links to coast (Seaford preferable to Newhaven unless you want to catch the ferry to Dieppe) and Brighton of course. The self contained area of Downs to the east are my favourite. Quieter than the main range of the Downs to the south so you can just roam around and enjoy the peace. Or you can walk along the river as far as Newhaven but this can be quite muddy when it's been raining. Beautiful flat walk though if you go when it's dry, or don't mind mud!

I lived near Lewes from 2000 to 2005 so know the area.
I lived near Lewes from 2000 to 2005 so know the area. Am fond of the Riverside area with its eating places, also the High Street. Perhaps not a huge amount going on, and perhaps the "Information Centre" could be
done up/revamped a little more, but the town is in an excellent central location for a holiday spent exploring locally.

Lewis is an old town full of interesting history, lots of old buildings and of course the castle that's always worth the walk up the hill, don't worry if you're not too fit as you can get a local bus to the top of the hill. Lots of wonderful pubs and cafes in the town centre along with some nice restaurants. The town is surrounded by stunning scenery all around.

I stay in Lewes frequently for visits to Glyndebourne.
I stay in Lewes frequently for visits to Glyndebourne. The local taxi firm (GMC Taxis) are very good and are prompt when picking up at the arranged time both to get to Glyndebourne and to return.
The town itself has much to offer with interesting shops and historic places including the Castle.
Hotel accommodation is very limited since the closure of The Shelleys and Pelham House. Parking is expensive

LEWES IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!
LEWES IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!
HOWEVER DO NOT STAY AT PREMIER INN !!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE A TOTAL JOKE AND NOTHING LESS THAN DAYLIGHT THIEVES WHO NEARLY DESTROYED MY WEDDING WITH 2 MISTAKES ON OUR BOOKINGS.
The Dorset on the other hand is a Lovely place to stay and would recommend it to anyone whishing to stay in Lewes.
Good location in the centre of the small village of Firle. Good sized bedroom with good shower. Friendly staff.
Our dinner in the restaurant was delicious, a good choice of wine and drinks and the serving staff (Poppy) very helpful.
The breakfast menu choice was much better than just the usual standard English breakfast offering, plus the choice of pastries, juices etc was well presented, plus a selection of newspapers.
Location is perfect, lewes is a small village in all fairness and the hotel is very conveniently located in the middle of the high street. Very old bookstore, Anne of cleves house and castle on one side and the high street on the other side.
Train station is a very short walk and easy for light travellers but a bit more difficult if carrying a lot as it is uphill
A well equipped, clean property for a single person or a couple.
Great location on the NW outskirts of Lewes - easy access to the Downs and a 15-20 minute walk to the town centre.
The kitchen area was surprisingly usable, with milk, juice, tea, and coffee provided - very welcome on arrival, thank you!
A smart TV and good Wi-Fi were the icing on the cake.
The house is just a minute or two's walk to a bus stop to Lewes town center. A quality breakfast basket was supplied with muesli, croissants, preserves, tea and coffee with milk and bottled water. The lounge overlooks the patio garden, has a wood burning stove and a luxurious sofa. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering but we only stayed one night.
Lovely well appointed apartment in a good central location in Lewes. Very handy to have a supermarket (Waitrose) and Boots Chemist very near. Also Waterstones almost underneath! Very comfy, lovely open plan sitting room / kitchen with dual aspect windows so nice and light. Bed comfy. Okay shower, water pressure not the best, but perfectly acceptable.
It was a lovely welcome, very clean, deluxe, comfortable, great products, high thread count bed linen, warm, cozy and tastefully decorated. Small kitchen and private living room was ideal and the ease of being in the heart of Lewes was so convenient. Vicky was so accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat!
Location is convenient for Glyndebourne.
Early check-in was arranged and was honoured
Room is clean and well supplied with towels, toiletries and hospitality tray.
There is a heated towel rail. There is a hair dryer. There is a fan if the weather is hot.
The hotel is unstaffed and access is by a previously informed door code.
I stopped over very briefly between two shifts I was working in Lewes. I had a disturbed night of sleep due to snoring (I was in a dorm room), but that is hardly the fault of YHA. The bathroom facilities were excellent, and I enjoyed a hot shower with good water pressure, which was much appreciated.
Location very central
It had parking which is a massive bonus for visitors to Lewes
Spacious, clean and comfortable
Lots of lovely little additions ie biscuits, tea coffee, toiletries etc.
Very well equipped little dining/kitchen area
Jo very discreet but there if you needed her and helpful
Lovely, quaint and cosy space. We loved our stay here and Simone has provided a beautiful space for a getaway. The 'best brownies' were very much appreciated and we ordered a cooked and continental breakfast which was all delicious and plentiful. Would happily stay again.
Room was clean and bed comfortable. Was given a double instead of the booked single. Although the hotel was in a lonely location (which I understood) there is a good bus service to Lewes/Brighton which enabled safe drinking and dining in either place.
Absolutely beautiful room in a very central location. We stayed in Lewes for a special occasion and the host was so welcoming and accommodating. There is a private parking space very close and everything is the room is so thoughtfully considered.
For the price you can’t beat the location and amenities. Bread, crumpets, butter/jam, milk and cereal provided were fantastic and the room is bright and clean and has everything needed for a few days around Lewes.
Great location and had all the basics needed for a quiet get away in lovely Lewes. The breakfast items were a much appreciated inclusion. We would definitely stay again!
A true gem. Fantastic cottage located very close to centre of town (Lewes). Clean, comfortable, with a lovely conservatory and very comfortable master bedroom.
