I enjoyed a comfortable stay with friendly staff and a cozy large double room that was clean and well-stocked with amenities. the breakfast options lacked variety and the parking situation was a bit inconvenient. It's an ideal spot for a short visit.

Just a fine choice for a quick layover in Lewes with attractive and competitive value for money. The breakfast was quite good, especially the cooked options that had a nice variety. Be sure to check out the nearby parking, it's quite convenient.

Great stay near Glyndebourne

Really enjoyed our stay here! The location is spot-on for Glyndebourne. Our room was super clean and spacious, loved the big window. the breakfast was massive and delicious. My wife had gluten-free options, which was a nice touch. Just wish the TV was bigger—seriously needed some binoculars to see it!

I had a lovely stay at The Dorset. My large double room was clean and spacious, featuring a cozy seating area and nice touches like complimentary tea and coffee. The bathroom was stocked with quality toiletries, and the staff were immensely friendly and accommodating, making my experience enjoyable.

Some traffic noise in the morning.

we loved our stay at the dorset. it has an excellent location, very close to the shops. our large double room was clean, spacious, and bright, with a fantastic bathroom stocked with toiletries. the staff really stood out, being friendly and accommodating, especially with my wife's dietary restrictions. all in all, it was a lovely, historic pub that hit all the right notes for our visit.

recommend

Found the location convenient, close to town, and appreciated the friendly staff who made the experience enjoyable. The breakfast was decent, though it could offer more variety. My room was comfortable but a bit hot, and a fan would have improved that.

Welcoming staff and excellent dining experience

I enjoyed a warm welcome from the staff and was pleased with the superb quality of the food offered in the pub. The cozy atmosphere added to the experience, making it a great place for an evening meal after a day of exploring Lewes. the room showed signs of wear, particularly with the wardrobe, which could use some maintenance.

we had a warm welcome from the cheerful manager, and our small double room was perfect for us. the meal was really great, especially on a wet evening, and the staff were super friendly and hardworking. the breakfast was nice and substantial, so we didn't feel the need to eat out at all. plus, the whole place was well maintained and it’s cool they name the rooms after sussex celebs!

only downside was the room was a bit dark at night with not enough lighting, and it could use some more hooks in the bathroom for towels.

we loved our stay here. the large double room was bright, spacious, and clean. The bathroom had great toiletries. the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making this romantic weekend exceed our expectations.

missing hot breakfast options

Had an awesome time with friends! We hit up some great spots, especially Lewes Golf Club. The place had a relaxed vibe, and we loved the comfy room. Staff were super helpful, too. Just a heads up though, breakfast could use some variety. It’s mostly continental, so don’t expect a huge spread.

Target audience decent stay

Had a lovely meal that really hit the spot after a tough day. The staff were friendly enough that I felt like they genuinely cared about our comfort.

It wasn’t exactly cheap but it was still acceptable.

a warm welcome and cozy atmosphere with helpful staff make this place a gem for travelers

Clean, comfortable room with welcoming staff.
