The owner, Benetta, was a lovely host and made me feel very welcome. She was also very gracious about various family members in town stopping by for coffee and to play with her animals. The bed and room were very comfortable.

The TV system was unfamiliar to me so took me a little while to figure out the remotes.

We loved our stay at the Corner House which was homey and welcoming. Benetta was helpful, knowledgeable about all our activities, and warm. Her information and advice about Glyndebourne was extraordinary!

For us, access to Glyndebourne Opera was the key feature of our choice of the Corner House. But Benetta is knowledgeable about other activities such as hiking, restaurants, and historical sights; she provided excellent guidance to the pleasures of Lewes and its environs. The Priory Ruins, Anne of Cleves museum and the nearby Gardens were an added bonus to the already unforgettable opera experience.

We had a wonderful stay at The Corner House and would not change one single thing! Benetta was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure we had a nice visit and were comfortable and offered great advice on things to do. Ursa and Mungo brought us a lot of pleasure during our visit. I would not change one single thing and would love to visit again.

We found wonderful treasures at The Sussex Guild. I especially enjoyed my visit to The Priory and we loved dinner at The Swan, all recommended to us by Benetta.

Benetta was very welcoming and helpful, knows lots about the town, and cooks a smashing breakfast. The dog and cat are both friendly and well-behaved, and the room itself was well looked-after and comfortable, with a nicely appointed bathroom - I slept really well and woke up refreshed. It's also really handy that there's a parking space.

It's perfectly placed to walk into town, and there's more than one route so have a wander!

Would Recommend: Yes

Benetta is a wonderful host. She was welcoming, cheerful and there was a relaxed ambience in the house. She is also extremely knowledgeable about the area. Her homemade cooking was a delight. It was like staying with a friend. Thank you Benetta!

The Corner House is a great place to stay. The breakfast was outstanding. The room, and all its facilities, was very comfortable. Benetta, the owner, was very kind and helpful throughout my visit.

26th February 2019:

The host could not have been more welcoming and obliging - better than any tourist information office and genuinely wanted to help you make the most of your stay and enjoyment of Lewes and its environs. This is B&B at its best, personal rather than anonymous. Benetta's extended 'furry' family, Mungo the Cat and Ursa the Labradoodle were an absolute delight and added to the sense of being 'home' rather than 'away'.

Listen to the hosts extensive local knowledge!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th February 2019:

We could not have asked for a more welcoming, interesting and friendly host and her two pets (cat and dog) are adorable. The accommodation was excellent (homely and artistic) and the bed was very comfortable. Ideal location: quiet and walking distance into town and close to a footpath on to the Downs. Breakfast included delicious home-made bread, fruit and cereals and we also were treated to tasty home-made biscuits on arrival. Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. It was lovely to meet you Benetta.

The town is worth a thorough wander as it is full of history and interest. We ate good vegetarian food at the Swan (two minutes walk) and the Rights of Man (in the High Street). The Depot (by the station) has a cinema and restaurant with a peaceful atmosphere. The climb up on to the downs via Juggs Road is well worth the effort for the wide vista at the summit (even on a rainy day). We will definitely be returning as there is an incredible amount to see and do in and around Lewes.

Would Recommend: Yes

All was perfect! Je me suis sentie comme à la maison. Un grand merci.

We stayed at the Corner House for 2 nights and Benetta could not have been more lovely or helpful. There was good communication before our arrival and Benetta was on hand to give us directions to where we needed to go locally to meet the wedding party we were joining. The breakfast was really special with homemade bread and spreads as well as a full English. Nothing was too much trouble, including Benetta going above and beyond to return something I had left there. Thanks also Benetta for the great conversations during breakfast! Would definitely recommend.

A nice and comfortable B&B with an extraordinary breakfast. Besides the hostess is a source of knowledlge about local history as well as Contemporary. We really apreciated our stay at The Corner House in Lewes.

The Grange Gardens, The Castle, The South Downs, the House of Anne of Cleeves, The Monk´s Garden and the nearness to Brighton with all it´s attractions. If you have lots of time it takes only 2 1/2 hours to Dover where you can visit their remarkable Dover Castle. The Swan is a pub with nice atmosphere and food.

Wonderful host, delicious breakfast, very pleasant room, and possibly the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever experienced. Really close to centre of town, local attractions and walking distance from the station. The breakfast room looks out on a well maintained, stunning garden. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

Walking on the South Downs is a must, as is seeing Lewes Castle, Anne of Cleves House and the Priory ruins.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th April 2018:

I love staying here with Benetta and her beautiful pets, Orsa and Mongo! Nothing is too much trouble for Benetta and she was able to accommodate all my dietary requirements. Breakfast for me is divine - a variety of fresh and stewed fruit and granola. Just yummy! And a range of herbal teas and freshly ground coffee. I stayed in the West room which is beautifully comfortable with an en suite bath/shower and luxury products for a totally indulging time. I’ve stayed here twice and coming again in October. Totally looking forward to seeing Benetta, Orsa and Mongo again soon! X

When I visit I’m usually in Lewes for a course that I’m on so haven’t seen much. However, there is Lewes Castle and Museum, The Depot Cinema which also has amazing food, Fuegos, Aqua and Bill’s are all places where I have dined and all serve lovely food. My favourite is Fuegos! Looking forward to going back there on my next visit. The train station is close by, just a ten minute walk if that, with easy access to Brighton, Eastbourne etc. A great place to stay.

A lovely place, well located with a really hospitable and interesting host. Well located for everything of interest in Lewes. I would definitely return, if not only for the lovely breakfast, but the very knowledgeable host. Look forward to my next visit.

Benetta is an extremely friendly and helpful host, who provides a super comfortable "home from home". Nothing is too much trouble.

I loved my stay here with Benetta. My room was very comfortable with a lovely en suite and luxury bath / shower products. Benetta accommodated my dietary requirements. I had the most amazing fruit salads and fruit compotes all home made with a variety of local fruits my favourite was the rhubarb and ginger compote and a lovely selection of herbal teas. The location was very good for me and an easy walk into town. I am looking forward to returning soon.

My visit was work related, so I did have any time for sight seeing. However, there are some lovely restaurants and coffee houses in Lewes so great for eating out. Lewes Castle is on my list to visit when I am next down so hopefully I will be able to do so.

Everything about this B&B is marvelous. The home is impeccable, but the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. The breakfast room and garden are picture perfect. The host Benetta is charming and fun and goes out of her way to research any connections or interests required. Her two assistants, a dog and a cat, are so sweet and low-key...everything made us feel at home. Absolutely the highest recommendation.

Benetta recommended a pub that was conveniently close. We also booked a private tour of the Bull House/Thomas Paine residence which included a walking tour, which was well worth it. All the sites of Lewes are well-presented: the priory ruins, the castle, Anne of Cleves' house. Don't skip the short film at the castle. We also went to the Snowdrop Inn to eat - a bit of a walk, but excellent, especially due to the live traditional music.

Would Recommend: Yes

Benetta's hospitality is warm and welcoming - lots of help with all my various needs. I stayed here twice in July, each time for 2 days. Regrettably I had to work each evening on one of my stays but her wi-fi made this as easy as it could be. The stairs up the first floor are a bit steep, which might be a problem for some, but otherwise this is an ideal place to stay in Lewes.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th July 2017:

We had a very pleasant stay, and we were pleased with the accommodation. I have given 'location' a '4' due to having to drive down and up a steep, narrow road to reach the B&B, but considering it is Lewes, and that's what comes with the town.

24th April 2017:

Although this B&B is a little pricier than some of the competition, the whole experience more than justified this. The house and room were charming, with all mod cons and even special touches like fresh flowers and high-end bathroom products. If you like a homely and rustic feel, then this is the place for you, and there was no compromise in other directions - the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom in excellent nick and we even had a set og guidebooks on the area in our room. The landlady is a highly capable woman with some great conversation and impeccable taste and cooking skills - the breakfast was really very very good indeed. There is a resident dog and cat so if you don't like pets then this may not be the place for you but we thought they were adorable and very well behaved. Made a great weekend a fantastic one!

I was made very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The bedroom and bathroom were well equipped although perhaps the decor was a little tired. The bed, pillows and linens were excellent and there was plenty of clothes storage. Nice extra touches included fresh flowers, a small library and tissues. Breakfast was also excellent with plenty of choices and special diets could be catered for. A further nice touch was that the dog was kept outside whilst I ate.

I was with a walking group and the area provides excellent walks, and impressively my room contained several maps and walks of the area. I was lucky to bag the parking space but parking is plentiful and reasonable. There seemed a variety of both chain and individual restaurants, pubs and shops. There are also several artisan bread shops/ cafes and I recommend the Flinty Owl but also the homemade bread at the Corner House.

Charming, beautifully appointed home, well situated in Lewes. Owner and host, Benetta is the key ingredient in the success of this establishment. Her bright, welcoming personality, her attention to detail and her culinary skills ensure a wonderful stay. We were situated in the East Bedroom, which we found to be extremely comfortable; the ensuite having a generous supply of quality products for guest use. Benetta's breakfasts were excellent and the table setting inviting, especially overlooking a pretty garden. Thoroughly recommend.

Depending on interests, Lewes and surrounds offer much. Easy to access the train into Brighton, just a 15 mins journey. Monk's House home of Virginia Woolf, very pretty with delightful garden. Plethora of local pubs serving good evening meals. Close for Glyndebourne. Lewes has interesting antique shops to browse.

Excellent location for Glyndebourne vistors. Not only for your logistics ( srore champagne infridge) but also for in depth discussions about music!

In between operas you need to move. So go for wonderful long walks around Lewes and on the Downs! Need shopping! No problem in Lewes. Visit Southover park and relax. Limetree restaurant is really nice.

The Corner House was brilliant - central location, clean and comfortable rooms, yummy breakfasts and most important of all - a great host. Benetta was very helpful on local walks, restaurants, pubs, places of interest etc. (And if you are an animal lover you will be in for a treat!)

The Priory, the walk by the windmill, Seven Sisters, Priory, Pells Pool and the Ship. My personal favourite however were the stunning town gardens

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2016:

The Corner House is simply a lovely place to stay. This is our second visit - the first was around a trip to Glyndebourne, for which it is very conveniently situated. This time we were in and around Lewes, where parking can be tricky. There is a parking space for guests and then it is an easy walk into the centre of the town. Benetta is a relaxed and friendly hostess who makes her guests feel at home whilst looking after everything with light, yet efficient touch. Comfy beds, good showers and tasty breakfasts in her light, sunny kitchen are all to be enjoyed.

Go to the Thai restaurant, Erawan, but make sure you book. It is a brilliant, tiny Thai BYO place within walking distance of the Corner House.

Convenient to centre of town, very quiet location, comfortable B and B; lovely bed linen, pillows, bathroom etc, tea and coffee making facilities and a first class breakfast made with fresh ingredients to order. Benetta the hostess is very friendly, helpful and accommodating of her guests' comings and goings.

Convenient for Glyndebourne and South Downs as well as this interesting historic town. Marvellous Gift Shop full of high quality crafts (jewellery, wood turning, pictures etc (? Sussex Craft Guild) in the grounds of nearby gardens.

My 3rd stay at The Corner House - over too soon but so many reasons to return ! Benetta is a great hostess; she's warm, welcoming and truly cares about her guests. Incredibly comfortable beds guarantee a blissful nights sleep and her yummy breakfast offers fresh fruit, yoghurt, home made bread, jam and preserves. I'm looking forward to my 4th visit in August ! I'm quite taken with Ursa and Mungo too !

Eateries are very much down to personal taste but I quite like the Riverside cafe, Bill's, Prezzo and Ask Italian. Favourite place "to be" is a nearby garden The Grange. Favourite walks: over the Downs to Mount Caburn; Cuckmere Valley. Places to visit with views over the Sussex countryside: Firle Beacon, Ditchling Beacon, Bus or car journey from Seaford to Eastbourne - the sea on one side with the Downs on the other - simply beautiful ! Numerous antique shops in Lewes, great for browsing !

We have stayed at about 6 B&B's in Lewes and although they were all good we believe we have now found the perfect place to stay. Benetta is a wonderful hostess and with the Swan Inn just around the corner - it could not be more perfect.

The Swan Inn is a great pub and does not pretend to be anything else. Good food, well kept beer, friendly staff and interesting locals!

Second time at this B&B and exactly the same high standards as the first visit. This is now my 'base' when I am in Lewes. Gorgeous room, modern bathroom, restful ambience, wifi, tv, hot drinks making facilities, hairdryer, books, slippers, fresh flowers, lovely assortment of toiletries in the bathroom, endless hot water. Private, off street parking for one car and Benetta is a fabulous host. Stunning breakfast to suit all dietary requirements and if you need any advice, Benetta is sure to help you. I would write another review on TripAdvisor but they won't allow me, till three months have passed. Anyway, I highly recommend this wonderful cosy, restful hideaway anytime.

Get out and walk. Walk in Lewes, walk on the South Downs, visit the beach. If you want a bit of 'London' then go to Brighton and Hove otherwise stay local, Cuckmere Haven, Alfriston, any National Trust places. Plus to eat - Limetree Kitchen all the time, every time.

Amazing attention to detail for the comfort of guests. Room beautifully appointed with tea and coffee making facilities, gorgeous bathroom with strong shower pressure, sumptuous and comfortable bed and breakfasts to dream of. I miss it all even though I am now at home. Friend Ursa and Mungo a delight and Benetta a joy to meet. Benetta has loads of local knowledge for any interests and also dietary requirements. An extremely cultured person, she's a wonderful host. My go-to place now, owing to availability.

Get out and walk on the Downs. You cannot go wrong. The

We were made very welcome, the room and en suite were clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Corner House is close to the town centre, but situated in a very quiet part of Lewes. Our host was extremely helpful and informative, providing us with a map and good advice. We enjoyed a great breakfast, with a good choice of food, whilst looking out on the garden. In all, a great stay, we would certainly choose Corner House again.

The Swan, as recommended by our host, is probably the best pub in town, and also has a wide choice of delicious food on offer. Informal, friendly atmosphere in traditional surroundings. It is also a short distance from Corner House. A winner!

Benetta was a wonderfully considerate host and her dog Ursa very friendly. Benetta spoilt me with a delicious home cooked breakfast each day and went out of her way to make my stay memorable with local advice and walking maps...even fresh roses in my very pretty and homely bedroom.

The Swan Inn welcomes strangers to the area and the South Downs Walk begins not far away. The pub at Plumpton ( 1.5 miles away) had the best local pork sausages i have ever tasted.
