Marshlands Annexe

18th February 2024:

Marshlands was the perfect place to stay! It was comfortable and a perfect size for a couple.

It's not often you arrive at your stay to find a generous supply of food - milk, croissants, cereal, fruit etc. I stayed for a week and qas even asked if I needed more. I liked the location as it was a balance of countryside and access to amenities - about 20 mins from the train station.

Would Recommend: Yes

Good walking area. Historic town centre.

Would Recommend: Yes

We loved our stay at Marshlands. The views, the extremely comfortable bed, the excellent range of breakfast goodies made us feel at home and very welcome. Everything was clean and the annex is well equipped. Thank you and we hope to stay with you again.

We stayed here for a wedding so didn’t get to explore too much. It’s a short walk to Lewes where you can find pubs shops, restaurants etc

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

Marshlands is just perfect: it is immensely relaxing and a wonderful place in which to unwind.

The Anne of Cleves house is well worth a visit and provides an illuminating insight into domestic Tudor history.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for being flexible on check-in/check-out times - that was really useful. Great place, lots of space and light. Really comfortable bed and has everything you need to cook too. Really generous breakfast too - it was way more than we expected - a great surprise. Lovely hosts and would love to stay again when we have more time to go walking!

Would Recommend: Yes

Wonderful annexe and very friendly owners. Can't fault the reception we got.

If travelling from the Kingston direction, the entrance is bit difficult to find, especially at night.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th March 2022:

We had a warm welcome from Ginny & Henry who were on hand if needed and we had our own front door and otherwise left to do our own thing.

The Swan pub was just a 10 min walk into Lewis and we would recommend it as food was very good. It's only a 20 min walk to the train station and convenient for trips to Eastbourne & Brighton.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd March 2022:

Ginny and Henry nothing was too much trouble to make our stay enjoyable.

Lovely walk into Lewes by the Priory across the fields.

Would Recommend: Yes

Perfect hosts. Very friendly (whilst still respecting our privacy) helpful, excellent communicators.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th February 2022:

The apartment was lovely. Very bright, airy and modern. The kitchen was very well equipped & the breakfast hamper far exceeded our expectations. Would definitely stay again & have recommended to our relatives. The hosts very kindly said we didn’t need to check out as early. Thanks for everything.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th February 2022:

This is a perfect little apartment for two people - clean, warm & comfortable (the bed is super comfy!). It was well equipped with everything we needed including lots of items that you don’t always get in similar rentals such as dishwasher tablets, washing powder & high quality toiletries. The generous breakfast provisions exceeded our expectations in both abundance and quality. Ginny & Henry are lovely hosts, friendly & helpful with recommendations for places to eat/visit, without being intrusive. The apartment has lovely views and there are great walks directly from the house, while the centre of Lewes is just a short walk away. Would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone wanting a relaxing ‘home from home’ in this location.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd October 2021:

Henry was very helpful. They did not intrude on us in anyway which was nice. The home produced honey and jam were excellent and food or breakfast very good. An enjoyable stay. Having the living room upstairs gave lovely views across the fields.

We went to Brighton to see the pavilion and it was beautiful and met expectations. The lanes were a good place to visit, we had never seen so many jewellery shops. Lewis castle was also very interesting with good views from the top.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th October 2021:

Brilliant stay, thank you. Facilities, breakfast, cleanliness and host were just lovely. Would have given location 5 stars if it was a little bit closer to the centre of Lewes. Not a problem for us, as we drive. But might be a problem for those without a car (I think the walk is about 30 minutes, might be wrong)?

Great location for an abundance of walks. Lewes has many restaurants and antic shops that we really enjoyed also.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th September 2021:

Henry was very welcoming and extremely helpful when we had a problem with the car

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd August 2021:

Another very enjoyable stay at Marshlands. Wonderful hosts who cater for our every need and provide excellent, spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation.

30th June 2021:

Loved this place! It was spacious, well designed and had all the mod cons you require for a self catering stay. The bed was so comfortable, it was difficult to leave it. The shower, I could have stayed under it all day. The view from the living space was fantastic and we never tired of the view. Good location for a number of good walks and to the Downs. Getting to the centre of Lewes was fairly easy, country or road walk. Ginny and Henry were fantastic hosts and very helpful. The whole experience was incredibly relaxing and the breakfast hamper contained good quality products, especially the home made honey. We will definitely return when we are next visit Lewes.

Ginny and Henry do provide a list of good places to go as part of the welcome pack. We did visit the Swann Inn, which does really good food and the staff are great! So good, we went twice. Recommend another pub, the Kings Head on Priory Road, which has a nice beer garden. To eat Cote de Brassiere, Pelham Arms, Bills, and Lewes Depot! Looking for a sandwich, has to be The Castle Sandwich bar just along from the castle entrance, opp the Brewery pub.

Would Recommend: Yes

Could not have been better hosts

Would Recommend: Yes

17th May 2021:

Lovely views of fields and distant hills from living room, plenty of light in bedroom and living room, comfortable and good quality furnishings.

We enjoyed a swim (in our wetsuits) at Pells pool, a 50m outdoor unheated swimming pool in Lewes.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th May 2021:

It really is the perfect holiday home for walking in the south downs and we always feel so relaxed there. The views are incredible from the lounge and the bed is so comfortable after a long day walking. The breakfast hamper is a lovely touch and Ginny and Henry made us feel so welcome. We will be back next year!

There are lovely walks in the surrounding fields if you want something more tranquil than long hikes on the downs! If you climb the downs from nearby Kingston the views are spectacular. Once you're up there there are lovely walks to Rodmell, Southease and Plumpton... and if a long hike is your thing you can trek to Eastbourne or Seaford and return by train! Erawan Thai in town centre is a must visit!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd May 2021:

Such a beautiful little place, it's spacious, clean, the view upstairs is unbeatable. Ginny also very kindly provides breakfast, including homemade honey and marmalade. It's a great and quiet stay.

There's a walking path opposite the house that takes you to Lewes in about 20mn.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st May 2021:

A lovely apartment, set about a mile outside Lewes, facing open fields with fine views towards the sea especially from the upstairs living space. Beautifully prepared and presented by Ginny and Henry, who welcomed us warmly and provided generous quantities of delicious breakfast food (including meeting my dietary requirements). Slight traffic noise from the road during peak hours, but not intrusive.

Walk from the front door up onto the Downs and enjoy the peace and solitude for as far/long as you like. Walk the other way into Lewes, marvel at the Priory Ruins, and stroll up into town for coffee or food.

Would Recommend: Yes

Absolutely the very best we have stayed in. No complaints at all...in fact the opposite. I want to heap praise on this couple for their outstanding care and attention to detail. We totally loved our stay. There is nothing we can think of that would have made it better. Thank you so much. Your property and you both are a real tonic.

Ginny and Henry are great hosts. Their attention to detail is excellent and they have worked hard to secure a covid safe environment. The accommodation is very comfortable and warm, the breakfast provided is very generous. We have stayed with them twice now and look forward to another stay in the spring.

We enjoyed drinks and meals at The Swan pub in Lewes, their covered 'outdoor' space is great.Great walking in and around Lewes with easy access onto the Downs.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th October 2020:
