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.

We realy enjoyed our stay. The proprietor, Jazz, couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, arranging check-in time at our convenience. It is a little noisy on a busy road, but has good double glazing, was quiet between 11pm and 6 am, and with ear-plugs we slept very well and uninterrupted. Highly reccommended.

What's not to like.

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.

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.
