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.

    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

    Lazslo was very helpful on arrival and departure and all in between. \There are no services at the hotel, so hard to comment, but if you wanted a drink or meal, you would have to bring your own or call one of the food delivery people, This was highlighted at the time of booking though. I assume this is due to the current staffing crisis in the hospitality industry

    The location is great, near the bridge in Lewes. Parking is easy in Friars Walk: it's a 2 hr max (Ringo app), but free from 5pm to 9am. The flat is clean and comfy, and our son was fine on the sofa bed. Great brunch spot opposite, Fuego Lounge (only opens at 9am, but Bill's opens at 8am just over the bridge).

    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.

    Staff were extremely friendly and helpful; catering to every need we had. The location was perfect; walking distance from the train station and a great spot for the Lewes bonfire procession. The room was clean and comfortable - lovely touch with the biscuits and tea/coffee.

    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.

    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.

    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.
