“Very comfortable bed and pillows. Tea, coffee, water, biscuits and toiletries provided. Location is handy for shops, walks and attractions. Very quiet when the pub noise subsides. Not our first visit and won't be the last”

“Staff were kind and friendly and I was given help taking my suitcase upstairs. Friendly, family atmosphere and good location for the course I was taking and walking distance from the train station.”

“The Dorset is a historic hotel with a small number of rooms well located within Lewes - the rooms are on the small size, but it is an old pub and it offers good value for money.”

“Directions brought us to the front door. Parking in pay and display car park opposite. Friendly welcome. Large bedroom with all facilities. Typical pub fare. Sunday hours meant bars shut at 10pm so we were not subject to noisy revellers. Good...”
