Probably the best accommodation I’ve stayed in. The house is decorated so lovely, it feels homely and it is so well stocked with essentials that you need for your stay, no running to the supermarket for spare bin bags or toilet roll. Highly recommend and Alex was very communicative and accommodating.

Friends get together

Lewes Heights is a lovely house more than we expected with lovely added touches. It was well situated although the walk up the hills back were a bit of a challenge, we are all fitter now. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Lewes. The owners were very informative and accommodating. Altogether a lovely break with great friends.

Stay for wedding preparation!

I stayed at Lewes Heights with my bridal party in prep for my wedding in Firle. It was the perfect set up for hair/makeup on the day, and a chilled dinner with drinks the night before. The outside table was kindly set up for our arrival and Alex/Gabrielle were very helpful from start to finish! Would recommend for any gathering/get together, and would definitely recommend for wedding preparations in Lewes/the surrounding areas.

Leisure break

Excellent house of the highest quality in a great location. Benefits of town and country only a few paces away. Alex had thought of everything from large fluffy bath towels to folded linen napkins - the place settings for our first meal were even in position. Family joined us for the weekend as the house is so spacious. Alex also checked in after arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. He is the perfect host.

Fabulous weekend away

We really enjoyed our short break at Lewes Heights last weekend. The house exceeded our expectations, it is beautifully furnished and includes lots of thoughtful extras such as store cupboard ingredients in the kitchen, lovely toiletries, well stocked book shelves and tea lights for added atmosphere in the evenings. Several of our party were particularly impressed with the super comfy beds and top quality bed linen. The property is ideally located to access the South Downs, we walked from the house to Ditching and we also visited Lewes and Brighton. The weather was glorious during our stay and we made full use of the delightful garden and patio area and were glad of the use of the parasol! We only wished we could have stayed for longer, thank you Alex and Gabrielle.

Outstanding in every way

The house is located in an excellent neighborhood, with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and access to public grounds that enabled us to have wonderful walks when not otherwise busy. The walk to town is on a pleasant route that we loved. The house itself is very stylish and comfortable (exactly as described although even better), the garden is a delight, and the hosts were caring and communicative. We ate quite a few meals at home; the kitchen lends itself to cooking and serving. We enjoyed the gas fire, one of us had business calls and work and appreciated the separate study at the end of the garden. The children reveled in the books and puzzles and the adults found reading that made us want to stay longer. We have been coming to Lewes for years during Glyndebourne season and all agreed that we have just found a jewel.

Our Peaceful Sussex Christmas at Lewes Heights

Our stay at Alex's house was memorable and we will be back as soon as time allows. As a family of five adults staying for the Christmas holidays, we found the house to be modern, comfortable, spacious while still feeling cozy, and well located in a nice neighborhood between the Downs and Lewes High Street. We were able to walk most everywhere we wanted to be in town. Alex's online guidebook was a steady reference of food and drink (The Swan Inn was our fave with a close second to The Jolly Sportsman), coffee houses (Flint Owl and Bills!) and inner workings of the property. It was as well done as we have seen in 20 years of VRBO's. He made our Christmas just like home with a decorated tree and a set table with traditional English poppers! The garden is lovely and we look forward to relaxing there in the summer upon our return. Thanks Alex - yours was a remarkable place to spend the holidays.

Amazing family property

Our stay at Lewes Heights was amazing. Alex is an attentive and considerate host, responding promptly to requests and offering suggestions for activities nearby. The house was perfectly laid out for our 3 generation family group. We particularly welcomed the second lounge which was ideal for teenage late night TV viewing, gaming and yoga practice! We also appreciated having the enclosed garden for games and the table tennis table. The location was great, close to the coast for swimming and watersports at Seven Sisters. Will we be back - I really hope so! There's still much to do. We didn't have time to walk the South Downs or investigate Lewes on our visit Thanks Alex and Gabrielle for making Lewes Heights such a comfortable holiday location. The house is so homely; much thought has gone into what visitors might need - things that other hosts often overlook - herbs, spices, an extensive selection of herbal tea. They were all very welcome.

Our Stay

Wow! What a treat staying at Lewes Heights was! We arrived thinking it would be nice, but it far exceeded our expectations and was like staying in a small luxury boutique hotel. Not only beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished, but modern and uncluttered and extremely comfortable. The house is full of thoughtful and helpful touches. From bubble bath to hair dryers, steam irons to bluetooth speakers (both wired and wireless), and the bathrooms are uber luxurious, with cavernous baths that really allow one to unwind and stretch out in. There is even a beautiful Yamaha US3 for piano lovers. Because of the spaciousness of the house and the number of rooms, even with the large number of us staying, we felt we had plenty of space to enjoy our time together as well as our own privacy. Further lovely touches were the immaculately laundered pure cotton white sheets and the huge bath towels to wrap up in. The kitchen had every appliance you could want, even including a Vitamix and the two reception rooms with TVs in both meant that when some of us wanted to chat, others could use the complimentary Netflix and Amazon Prime. Ultra-fast 200mb broadband was much appreciated by everyone. It was immaculately clean when we arrived, and Alex was immediately on hand to answer any questions via WhatsApp. He also supplied a beautifully put together online guide to the surrounding area including local walks, restaurants, days out, swimming spots and info about the house. It helped us with personal recommendations and meant we could book in advance for restaurants knowing that we were getting the benefit of local knowledge! The house itself is set in a wonderfully lush, private, and very sunny garden with extraordinary views out over Lewes. Because it is situated on a cul-de-sac, there was very little noise from cars, and we felt like we were in a very private and exclusive spot. Lewes Heights is ideal for a reunion of friends or family, or as a special holiday or occasion. Yes, you can of course get cheaper accommodation elsewhere, but as they say, you get what you pay for. And anyway, I shudder to think what we would have paid a 5 star hotel for 6 bedrooms per night! A fabulous property, which I heartily recommend.
