Scallow Campsite, hotel in Lewes

Providing a garden, Scallow Campsite provides accommodations in Lewes. The campground, set in a building dating back to 2022, is 8.5 miles from Glyndebourne Opera House and 15 miles from AMEX Stadium....

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.

The Greenwich Rooms - Burger & Bird Bar & Restaurant, hotel in Lewes

Located in Peacehaven, 5.3 miles from Brighton Marina, The Greenwich Rooms - Burger & Bird Bar & Restaurant has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

I was unable to check in as the front door was closed and locked, despite the confirmation that check in was available until 10pm. There was no answer to any of my phone calls and messages until the next day, when I had already had to source and pay for alternative accommodation, late at night in an unfamiliar city. The Greenwich Rooms have refused to refund the money they took for a service they did not provide and do not engage with messages requesting further information. Terrible service - avoid at all costs.

    So much history.

    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

    Location, next to Southease station is really handy (easy travel to Brighton, Lewes, etc). Having free parking so close too was also useful (my friends travelled by public transport, but I drove). There's a big kitchen with everything you need for self catering. The beds are comfortable but they have a vinyl cover and I got very hot in the night. The reception staff were so friendly and amazingly helpful - I can't praise them enough.

    Central location in Lewes. Wonderful design of contemporary house, located in quiet lane near town centre. Bedroom very comfortable, large bed, tea/coffee making and even a tiny fridge with milk provided. Adjacent bathroom excellent. Great communication from owner and easy access via key safe. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

    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.

    Very pleasant flat, comfortable throughout. Warm enough when weather is cold. The provision of milk, coffee, etc was welcome. All items needed for kitchen are present. Nice view of bird feeder by kitchen. Frequent buses to Lewes and Brighton. Easy access to walking routes such as South Downs Way.

    The location was great - really useful for Lewes town, the castle and the train station. The property was clean, comfortable and well set-up for a family of four like ours. We weren't staying very long but would have made a great base for exploring Sussex and the coast.

    There are no staff or other facilities at this hotel. It is clean, comfortable and a sleep only hotel. Suitable for visiting Brighton and the surrounding area by car. There is an excellent, regular bus service into Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells

    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.
