Pelham House  

In the heart of historic Lewes, this 16th‑century Grade II listed townhouse sits steps from Cliffe High Street, the Priory ruins and Malling Down Nature Reserve. Brighton is about 15 minutes away and Gatwick and London are easily reached by train, making this boutique hotel a great base for exploring the South Downs and East Sussex.

A tastefully restored townhouse that mixes quirky period details with Art Deco flair. The hotel offers 31 en‑suite bedrooms with comfy beds, fine cotton sheets, tea and coffee facilities, TV and iPod docking. Rooms overlook a large south‑facing private garden with views toward the South Downs — wake up to garden views and fresh country air.

Enjoy a stylish new bar that opens onto the private gardens, an on‑site restaurant and complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout. On‑site parking is available for a small nightly charge (advance reservation recommended). Additional touches include lift access, dry cleaning and secure storage.

A business centre and meeting space make it easy to host board meetings or interviews. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and lift access help keep things smooth and efficient.

Pelham House Restaurant serves food and drink seven days a week. The bar spills out into the garden for drinks with views of the South Downs.
