Lewes Glyndebourne Opera House Hotels

"Great stay!"

"Front desk extremely helpful"

"Lovely welcoming Publicans and staff. Cosy country pub in the perfect area for my ongoing journey. Quiet at night even though on a busy road during the day. Very comfortable and clean. "

"We needed an overnight stop near Lewes, this being a mile or so north. Though on a main road (A275) it is a quiet, unpretentious and old country pub between a couple of other houses (one a former smithy) with convenient parking and an outside sitting/eating area behind, as well as 'bistro' style eating in the large downstairs bar, with a good selection of beers etc. The room and bathroom were simple and spotless,with fine quality towels and bed linen. The eating menu is also simple with a Jamaican twist (the cook being Jamaican) but including excellent traditional fish and chips and the English breakfast included in the B&B cost also excellent. It overlooks green open country and a church on the other side of the road with a chalky track down through the woods towards Hamsey for a summer evening post-supper walk (at least in dry weather). It is too far out of Lewes to walk, though on a bus route in, but about 10 mins by car to parking in the town. A lucky find to which we would happily return."

"This is our go-to lodging when attending the opera at Glyndebourne. A wonderful, country house in Uckfield, set on beautiful, expansive private grounds. Comfortably and exquisitely furnished, it is always a pleasure to arrive and occupy the spacious common rooms and assigned bedrooms. As frequently encountered in England, old properties may lack some modern amenities Americans are used to like air conditioning and convenient USB charging ports. Televisions are dated; rooms do not have clocks. But rooms are spacious and elegant, with large, tall windows, some of which do not open. Our visit in July encountered unusual hot weather the first days of our stay. Our Nevill suite on the first floor (second floor in American parlance), with west-facing windows, reached almost 90 degrees F (32 C), making things unbearable. We located a fan, but it offered minimal respite. The Horsted Restaurant serves in two stylish rooms inside and on a terrace outside; tea is served there, in common rooms and on the terrace. The tiny eponymous bar may have been a former pantry. Or closet. Food is quite good, but service seems understaffed at times. Another shortcoming, servers deliver your food and fail ever to check back for comments or additional requests. Some training may be in order. Staff are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Some staff members’ families have been associated with the property for many years in various capacities. In all, our latest stay was enjoyable and memorable. "

"Very convenient for Glyndebourne. Spacious, kitchen facilities, tea and milk, comfortable beds, excellent modern bathroom, all newly furbished and very clean. Could not be better."

"Comfy, friendly, spacious, green!"

"This was like staying with friends for a smart weekend in the country. Ann gave us a guided tour, and later showed me round her hi-tech greenhouse when I expressed an interest. The house and garden are fabulous, our room was huge and elegant with a big comfortable bed and a walk-in rainfall shower. There was a lounge room and patio we could use, where you could watch interesting bird species on the feeders. Breakfasts are performance art - Ann and Martin make a big thing of choices in every respect and tend to hover to ensure you have everything you want, so be prepared to be sociable! You need to drive to get to places, Lewes makes an enjoyable day out nearby and there are good pubs around."
