    helpful staff
    nice facilities

    i enjoyed my stay at the white hart. it’s very close to the railway station, making it super convenient. the swimming pool and gym were fantastic, and the staff even helped me carry my bag upstairs. the local shops and cafes are just a short walk away, which is a real bonus.

    inviting seating
    relaxing atmosphere
    small towels
    cool room

    I loved the charming historical features throughout the building, from the wooden beams to the lovely decor. The cosy seating areas were inviting and made it easy for me to relax while enjoying a glass of wine.

    Room could benefit from larger towels and better heating.

    comfy room
    continental breakfast
    pool and gym
    untidy hallway

    I really enjoyed the comfy room with massive windows and the lovely continental breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries. The pool and gym were nice spots to unwind after a long day. Just a heads-up, the hallway could use a little tidying up, but overall, I had a great stay! 😊

    historic location
    cozy room
    decent breakfast
    worn out facilities

    Great location but needs a little love

    The spot in the heart of town is super convenient! We had a cozy double room, and the breakfast buffet was decent. The bar was pretty quiet, and we had it all to ourselves. The place feels a bit worn out, though, like it could really use some upgrades, especially with the pool situation. it's a charming stay for a night or two.

    glazed cakes
    friendly staff
    local cafes
    missing towels
    run down rooms

    Oh mate, the glazed cakes in the nearby cafes like Patisserie Lewes are a total dream! Plus, the staff at The White Hart were absolutely on it—super friendly and helpful, which made us feel right at home.

    But the place had its quirks—like only one bath towel for two of us and no towels provided for the pool. The rooms could do with a bit of a sprucing up, and where was the buzzing hotel bar when you needed it?

    nice facilities
    worn areas
    missing towels

    Great little spot in Lewes, really enjoyed my stay. The location is fantastic, super close to the station and local shops. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to lend a hand. The slippery wooden floors and historic charm added character to the room, although it did feel a bit worn in some areas. The fitness center was a big bonus, and I loved using the pool whenever I could. Breakfast was decent, but could use more options. I expected a hot meal, but it was more continental. Little things like missing towels for the pool were annoying, too. this place has a cozy vibe with character, but definitely needs some TLC to freshen things up.

    wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

    The snug room had a comfy bed and a private bathroom with free toiletries. The atmosphere was lively, especially in the bar area, where I enjoyed local beers. Breakfast had a good variety with fresh pastries and hot options. There’s also a fitness center and spa facilities which were a bonus.
