The Rodney House was so comfy, so welcoming, and perfectly located. There were also a number of "little things" that really added to the experience: snacks in kitchen, local beers in the fridge, and a carafe of cold water in the bedroom. We'd been to Lewes plenty of times before, but this is the first time we stayed in town, and the Rodney House provided a great home base. Highly Recommend!

Perfect location in the heart of historic Lewes. Restaurants, stores, the museum, and lovely St. Peter's church are all an easy stroll from your doorstep. The apartment was flawlessly renovated to provide luxurious, modern comfort without compromising the building's historic charms, such as the exposed original brickwork and rafters. Thoughtful, welcoming touches are everywhere, from the plentiful books and treats, to the towels folded to look like entwined swans, to the local beers in the fridge. It was a delight to stay at the Rodney House. We will definitely return!
