Excellent stay. I have stayed numerous times before prior to it being sold. I was however very disappointed that the car park is no longer.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic inn. It's been superbly and sympathetically renovated and is the perfect balance of new and old. Staff were excellent, friendly and professional. Basically faultless!

Lovely old hotel, and very comfortable - but note this does mean it doesn't have a lift, so you may want to request a room on the first floor if stairs are a difficulty. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. Great location in the centre of Lewes (though remember Lewes is built on a hill, and it's at the top of the hill).

Very nice room in a lovely period property. The free sweets is a nice touch and proper milk for a brew is nice after a long day.

The White Hart has been beautifully refurbished with great attention to detail. Room was lovely, as was the bathroom, and the use of space in a very old building. Very comfortable. Would happily stay again.

The room was ok …considering the cost without breakfast. Shower was the highlight. There were no tissues in the room. The radio was a nice touch.

Stands out from the herd

The White Hart is a lovely hotel that has been seamlessly renovated. It feels old and cosy, yet modern at the same time..everything is very high quality. The beds are comfortable ...we stayed in a pet free room and the dining area is separated into dog and non dog, which we appreciated. Breakfast choices were top class, though on both mornings we felt the poached eggs arrived chilled rather than warm, which took the edge off things. Dinner the first night was fantastic. On the second we both had rump steak. This looked as if it was cooked just right but was sadly rather tougher than we have experienced elsewhere. Perhaps it had not been allowed to rest or the butcher had provided a cut below normal standard. We will definitely return

God atmosfære

En fantastisk koselig plass med god atmosfære, god mat og hyggelig personell. Rommet var litt varmt, så jeg lurer litt på hvordan det hadde vært på en varm sommerdag..
