Pros: The lady working behind the reception / bar was friendly and helpful. It was the closest accommodation we could get to Lewes for bonfire night. The bed was reasonably comfortable but not very big. Obviously you can hear the traffic from the road all night, but it wasn't much of an issue.

Pros: I loved the Breakfasts in the large dining room. The location, in the heart of the South Downs, is great. The Inn is between Lewes and Brighton...both very interesting, but very different places. The Bus service between the two towns is excellent, stopping very close to the Newmarket Inn. The room was very warm, also the Hotel was remarkably quiet, with few guests, especially considering that I stayed there on the night of the biggest Bonfire celebration in Britain, which took place less than two miles away.

Pros:
Cons: Room and bed were too small. Basically an on-suite broom cupboard!! One staff member attentive and the other not so. No place settings for breakfast. No sugar. No bread. All had to be asked for when a member of staff could be found. This place is overpriced.

Pros: The lady working behind the reception / bar was friendly and helpful. It was the closest accommodation we could get to Lewes for bonfire night. The bed was reasonably comfortable but not very big. Obviously you can hear the traffic from the road all night, but it wasn't much of an issue.
Cons: Most of the staff didn't seem the least bit interested that we were there, and often needed a nudge e.g. when we wanted to check-in, when we asked for help booking a taxi, and even when we wanted to get breakfast. Breakfast was over-priced and not great. The bar area is very run down with old, worn out furniture that is covered in crumbs and the whole place needs redecorating. Our room had stains on the walls and a real damp problem - mould in the bathroom and the curtains were always wet to touch. It didn't feel that clean but perhaps this was due to the beige/green coloured walls, outdated furniture and damp.

Cons: There wasn't anybody there when I arrived. Fortunately, I only had to wait about ten minutes though. I don't think it is necessary to have the T.V or radio on at breakfast. People might just want to relax , and not have the World's problems intruding on them early in the morning.
