The White Hart

Stylish, clean and comfortable

Great position and charming old hotel

It's a bit of a rabbit warren and the bar/ resteraunt get very crowded. So crowded that the staff become impersonal

Staff were excellent - friendly, helpful, efficient. Food was OK but I would have welcomed some variation in the menu.

The room was OK. but let down by the maintenance: there was no loo roll holder - just some messy holes where it had fallen off; the shower temperature control tap kept falling off; and the shower tray was in danger of overflowing if the shower was on full (blocked outlet?). Is it really necessary to make guests ring an outside land line to get Reception? It is not the fault of the hotel, but on 2 of the 3 mornings, I was woken up at 5 by very loud noise from the building opposite which is undergoing work. Fortunately, the third morning was a Saturday with no work taking place.

What’s the room was small it was very comfortable. They did provide a dog bed but it was nowhere near big enough for our Labrador! Very friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and the dining room lovely, real shame that the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to sit outside on the patio.

What’s the bedroom was lovely and well maintained. I felt the bathroom did need a little bit of TLC. The paint was scuffed in places giving it just a little bit of a grubby edge whilst we knew about the lack of parking on booking. It was quite challenging, although we were lucky enough to find a disabled space very near.

The hotel has been respectfully refurbished to a very high standard without losing any of its historic charm.

Nothing, it was fabulous.

The room was very small

Wonderful boutique hotel in beautiful Lewes. The hotel had a lot of character, staff were great, and location ideal.
