Step back in time as you sweep into the Sussex Country Town of Lewes where cobbled streets, beamed 15th Century houses and Lewes Castle greet you on the High Street. This charming three-bedroom townhouse sits centrally within the town, yet it is peacefully tucked away from the hubbub. It sleeps six people comfortably in two double rooms and a bunk room, ideal for families or friends, creating a homely yet luxurious space to stay during your time here.

The very name ‘Lewes’ is synonymous with its annual Bonfire Night which is the largest November 5th event in the world. Carnival comes to town with pagan processions, traditions, costumes, fire sites and fireworks which attract people from far and wide – it’s quite the spectacle. You will need to book early for this event though to avoid disappointment! November festivities aside, there is plenty to entertain you in Lewes with art galleries, antique emporiums, museums and many cafes, local pubs and boutique shops, all serving and selling artisan produce made with love by local businesses and residents. Take a walk through the cobbled streets and sample some fine craft ales on a brewery tour. Stroll along the river with the swans or seek out Downland public foot paths, drinking in the views over Sussex for miles around (and stopping off at one of the many pubs en route). The world-famous Glyndebourne Opera House is just 10-minutes by car, showing some of the most incredible operatic performances (complete with subtitles) to be enjoyed on picnic blankets with a glass of bubbles from a hamper – utter bliss! From the Lewes Castle to Lewes Priory, there are numerous historic sights to explore, so it is easy to fill a weekend or a fortnight here.
