The Burrow - Lewes

We have lived here for 20 years and our house has grown around us. Our house is in a quiet cul-de-sac at the edge of the historic market town of Lewes. We enjoy views to the Downs on both sides of the house from upstairs windows and even a small glimpse of the sea on clear days! Very easy walk onto the South Downs from where you can walk for miles with stunning views of the countryside.

Well equipped open plan kitchen and dining room and snug front room with an open fire.

We have a large garden with outdoor seating, barbecue and designated firepit.

Dog and family-friendly (although stairs and banisters make it unsuitable for disabled visitors and very small children)

About the location

From the Lewes Tourist Board site:
At the heart of rural Sussex lies the beautiful county town of Lewes - a mixture of the unusual and intriguing and so typically Sussex.

Its medieval streets, old English churches and tiny twittens (a Sussex word for alleyway) allow visitors a glimpse into the true essence of bygone Lewes. Although surrounded by chalk cliffs, the townscape is dominated by the remains of a Norman castle and is also home to the handsome townhouse of Anne of Cleves (fourth wife of King Henry Vlll). Lewes also claims host to numerous contemporary art galleries and historic & special interest sites including the once mighty Priory of St. Pancras - a casualty of the dissolution of the monasteries.

Lewes is a market town of small, specialist, independent retailers and on certain days, the subtle aromas wafting from Harvey's Brewery will attract any visitor to Cliffe High Street. Bookshops, boutiques and antique centres sit alongside individual craft workshops, and the restaurants, cafes, and pubs offer delicious choices all year round with real emphasis on local produce.
