The Lamb Inn 4 stars

Eastbourne

Located in Eastbourne and with Eastbourne Beach reachable within 2.6 km, The Lamb Inn provides a bar, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a tennis court. Built in 12th century, this 4-star inn is within 2.2 km of Eastbourne Pier and 5.6 km of Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway Adventure Park. Glyndebourne Opera House is 22 km away and Brighton Marina is 31 km from the inn. The location was great, not far from the town centre but situated in an area steeped in local history. The building itself is everything and more from a structure of this age, bags of character, pitch black timber beams, mottle and daub walls and a period 'walk in' fireplace. We had booked a family room which was in fact a self contained arrangement of 2 separate rooms, a small landing area with tea and coffee making facilities and two armchairs. Both rooms were decorated with interesting period prints and paintings. Towels were ample in quantity and very soft. The beer was well kept (Harvey's Best Bitter), the atmosphere in the bar very inviting and calm. The bar staff - friendly and efficient. The breakfast was superb and with generous portions. The owner served us and was most friendly and considerate.

The Ram Inn

Lewes

The Ram Inn features a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Lewes. Located around 13 km from AMEX Stadium, the inn with free WiFi is also 19 km away from Victoria Gardens. The property is non-smoking and is located 4.6 km from Glyndebourne Opera House. The Ram Inn is a unique experience. Tucked away in a peaceful village in Sussex, it transports you into a serene and creative space surrounded by minimal but eclectic furnishings, a big desk to write at and a deep bath to restore oneself. Downstairs it the perfect picture-book English pub serving delicious local produce from the gin through to the venison. I even managed to walk someone else’s dog up through the church yard. The staff were kind and helpful.
