Top Lewes Castle Hotel Reviews

YHA South Downs - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"It was great value. I stayed on the night before catching a ferry and this was the perfect location. I called beforehand with a query and they answered very quickly. Check in was easy. They took me to the room to make sure I get there. Drinking water was available. Good kitchen and communal areas. It was a very pleasant stay"

The Blacksmiths Arms

8/10 Good

"Bit tired but overall good stay thanks"

The Old Dairy, 200 years old and newly converted

10/10 Excellent

"Robin and Christine were helpful friendly hosts. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and well organised with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Relative to other accommodation we considered we felt it was good value and well located for us to explore the surrounding area down to Brighton and the coast. We found Lewes a really attractive town with an interesting quite radical history."

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."

"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."
