The blacksmith arms is laid back and friendly , the bed was comfortable and the ensuite had a bath ( yippee ) Jazz was friendly , and I am sad I didn’t get to eat there or have a shot of his great rum selection ( I was attending a wedding ) parking is available , although I used public transport and understand there is a lovely walk into Lewes town along the river . BSA delivered just what was needed xx

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.

Really love this pub & hotel- such a lovely atmosphere and heartfelt warm welcome by the hosts-graceful and easy going. The rooms are really comfy, good size, good beds and facilities. 5min taxi or car from Lewes.make sure you have dinner or lunch-wonderful Jamaican food - delicious! I have stayed a few times over the years and always look forward to coming back. Super walk up on the Downs right behind the pub.
