Absolutely Fabulous!

Really great stay during a short walking trip to the South Downs. Lovely, comfortable room and en-suite bathroom, and the evening meal was absolutely fabulous! Big portions, tasty, and the Caribbean cuisine is exceptional. Great breakfast, as well, and lovely, friendly hosts. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely Pub/Hotel near Lewes

A lovely slightly quirky pub/hotel with a Jamaican feel and menu. Very comfortable accommodation and a great breakfast with a friendly and welcoming staff team A little bit of bar noise from the pub if you are an early to bed type, and you are staying on a main road so there is some traffic noise if you want the window open. Having said that, we would definitely stay again when in the area. 5 minutes drive into Lewes. The main road isn't walking friendly.

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.

Great family run business. Love the Jamaican vibe, unfortunately they didn’t do food on a Monday or Tuesday so didn’t get chance to sample. Bed was extremely comfortable too and good hot water pressure in the bathroom.

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.
