The Bull, Ditchling
Set at the foot of the South Down, the Bull has been welcoming travellers and locals for more than 500 years. Retaining its rustic charm, the gastropub and hotel has been given a modern, stylish twist.

Four, large, individually-themed rooms, all en-suite, have been luxuriously designed with huge beds, crisp Egyptian cotton and walk in rain-showers. The South Downs Way is minutes away, the historic, picturesque village of Ditchling is home to the Eric Gill museum.

Just five minutes from the train station (by taxi), 15 minutes from Brighton. Plumpton racecourse is up the road and Glyndebourne is a little beyond Lewes.

The Bull is the ideal location to base yourself for your Sussex Spring break.

The informal atmosphere of this country house hotel is the perfect ambiance in which to enjoy your Sussex Spring Break. Set in the midst of the bustling county town of Lewes, this hotel is well located for access to the other towns and villages of the Sussex South Downs.
