“This meticulously renovated, historically significant coaching inn sits right in the heart of Lewes. I especially appreciate the thoughtful touches, like dining areas thoughtfully separated for those with and without pets. While the absence of an elevator might pose a challenge for some, the overall experience exudes a cozy, high-quality charm and benefits from its leisure club and spa.”
