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

    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.

    Fantastic Lewes apartment. The place is warm and roomy, spacious, well appointed, very well located within Lewes and a short drive to Brighton. We were particularly happy with the addition of a separate dryer and washing machine. Apartment is a short walking distance to historic landmarks plus shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Our host Sara was very responsive and friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

    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!

    This old hotel is first up a great pub. The antique timber bar is a wonderful piece if work. The staff are friendly, and the beer is good. Our room was spacious and comfortable as well as being quiet. The Dorset was perfectly placed for the start of our nine day walk on the old pilgrim way to Canterbury. A goodbreakfast set us on our way.

    Beautiful location, interesting historic building, delicious breakfast, fabulous meals, great wine, wonderful ambiance and just the best bed sheets I have had in a hotel for quite some time. October 2023 there are building works next door didn’t worry us at all but some guests were more disturbed by this.

    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.

    The hotel itself is nice. The bed was comfortable and it is in a nice central location in Lewes. The 24 hour reception was ideal for us as we arrived at 1am in the morning after our wedding reception. Unfortunately it did mean that we didn’t get to use the pool but I am sure we will be back again.

    Really clean and very comfortable house, spotless organisation by the host. Ideal if you want to relax. The location is convenient, out of the way but close enough that you can walk everywhere in Lewes. I really value how well and worry-free I felt after having stayed 3 days, thanks!

    The room was fine and the continental breakfast very good. Prices very reasonable. This a lively town pub that is just off the town centre. It does not have its' own car park but there is on street and a car park right outside.(10 minutes away). Great place en-route to Newhaven

    The property was perfect in every way. The hosts were very welcoming and freindly. Location was a little out of Lewes but in no way detracted from us enjoying the break. If anything it was nice to be out of it all a little we felt more chilled and relaxed.

    Cheap dorm accommodation near Lewes for Lewes bonfire night. Short 3.5 mile cycle in. Opened early so we could book in and get into Lewes before all the roads were closed. Access to farmhouse to add boiling water to my oat pot and a cup of Rooibush.

    The apartment was 5 minutes walk from the railway station right in the centre of Lewes. A bus stop and supermarket were about 400 m away. There was an excellent restaurant just across the road. The location would be hard to beat.
