The White Hart - A Heartwood Inn

Spooky and not clean. Needs a bit of a makeover

Love this place. Now had several lunches/drinks here latest today 19th July. Restaurant well laid out , nicely decorated and plenty of room and tables not on top of each other. Always been treated with a smile. Service overall pretty decent. I had a starter of crab and risotto fishcake, pretty tasty it was too We both had fish and chips today,tho previously I've had the pork and leek sausages which were fantastic. Fish very well cooked with lovely crispy batter with minted peas and tartare sauce chunky chips. Only moot point it's served on wooden board and chips ,sauce and peas in ramekins (presentation?)... personally prefer just on a nice plate. Will definitely return

It's with regret that my recent stay at this lovely old hotel was unpleasant, more a case of great design leads to impracticality....Considering the room cost per night, expected more. This hotel is not suitable for summer stays when the English weather is hot! No air-conditioning at all throughout the building (unbelievable), the rooms are stifling hot with only a small fan to create a breeze which in fact only circulates the already present hot air within. Even sleeping on top of the bed made no difference, the worst nights sleep in years. Be aware that the character uneven steep old stairs caused elderly people shortage of breath, some found the heavy landing doors hard to open, if your on the 3rd floor be prepared ......(No Lift) The positives are the great space downstairs (breeze if any via open doors and windows), dining area looks fantastic, great food, and finally lovely staff who are very polite and helpful. If you attending for something to eat or drink, recommended. If your looking to stay for a night or two, be selective on the season you choose ! Premier Inn Lewes recommended for summer stays.
