Lovely Pub/Hotel near Lewes

A lovely slightly quirky pub/hotel with a Jamaican feel and menu. Very comfortable accommodation and a great breakfast with a friendly and welcoming staff team A little bit of bar noise from the pub if you are an early to bed type, and you are staying on a main road so there is some traffic noise if you want the window open. Having said that, we would definitely stay again when in the area. 5 minutes drive into Lewes. The main road isn't walking friendly.

A real country pub with very comfortable en-suite rooms. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. Jazz and Drixi are very friendly and helpful landlord and landlady.15 - 20 minutes easy drive to Glyndebourne.

Blacksmiths arms near Lewes

We only stayed for one night , the room was clean and tidy , nice toiletries in the bathroom and lovely large fluffy towels were provided. Bed was comfy , not too many plug sockets in the room for charging phones etc. It’s an old building so the floors are uneven and everything creaks. Breakfast was adequate, not a lot of choice if you don’t like a full English.
Melanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Caribbean food was excellent, as was the full English breakfast. Room was large enough and comfortable. Landlord and staff were friendly and helpful. Restricted opening hours on Sundays - no evening dining - was a limitation for us.
