My grandson, my friend Alice and myself stayed at The Newmarket Inn for 3 nights as we thought it was only a short ride to Brighton.. On arriving looks a bit run down but realised that it had only been open for 4 weeks and was still trying to get the Garden sorted.

The rooms were tidy and the beds clean, bathrooms were clean and the showers 
were quite powerful, I chose to have a bath as i only have a shower at home.

On arriving we asked Chris the Manager if we could catch a bus into Brighton and the bus stop was outside .Myself and Alice had bus passes and my grandson was charged £3.30 that was great took us about 25 minutes. Had a lovely afternoon on the Beach and got the bus back. The down side is when you get off on the other side of the road we diced with death crossing the busy A27. It does not make sense 
the walking trail on the downs crosses you over there and it is very dangerous !!!!!

The  Newmarket do not do evening meals but we were going out anyway and on our third night we had a Take Away .We sat at our breakfast table and the manager was very helpful and provided us with plates and cutlery.

The breakfasts on the 3 mornings were very very good with cereals pastries and a full English ,toast,  tea and coffee...WHAT MORE DID WE NEED.

We enjoyed Brighton very busy even though it was mid week, loads of young people loved people watching .

What we did forget that we were not able to get the rooms serviced but just ask at reception and they will accomodate  you.

Good Stay

This hotel was booked for me due to working away, when I looked at the photos it didn’t look anything special but was half decent.  The rooms I was put in was room 2 and it is absolutely disgusting, the carpets are stained the bathroom is covered in black mould literally in every possible place. The windows constantly have condensation build up.  Even though my others were in the complete opposite side of the room when I went to get dressed in the morning my clothes were damp as well as the bedding when I got back on a night.  I didn’t complain to the staff due to me getting back from work at 23:00 every night but the fact anyone is put in a hotel room like that is absolutely beyond me.


Worst hotel I have ever stayed in 

Friendly service upon arrival and throughout my stay, very spacious en suite room cleaned to a high standard.

Good offering on evening food menu and very tasty. To finish the stay a filling full English

Will stay again 

Fantastic service 

I was confident about their Covid measures
The room was large and clean, although.they had left empty beer bottles in the bathroom. It was very quiet despite being on a main road.
I was disappointed that they weren't serving food on the Friday night and the bar closed at 8pm. But I realised that this isn't a pub but really a bed and breakfast. The breakfast was very good.
Ideal location for walking the South Downs Way.

Cheap and cheerful

I booked 3 rooms at this hotel in August 2020 but when I arrived it was locked up - no one there. Almost derelict. Sheets in the windows for curtains. Avoid at all costs. It bears no relation to the images and reviews on Booking.com.

This hotel is a dump - don’t book

Stopped over at the Newmarket Inn while walking the South Downs Way with friends.  We arrived late after long day hiking and unfortunately the kitchen had closed.  The lovely landlady said she couldn’t let us go to bed hungry so cooked us up some chips!  The room was older, but tidy and clean with a very comfy bed and good shower.

Excellent cooked breakfast in the morning. Would definitely recommend this hotel, particularly if hiking in the area.

The landlady’s (gentle giant) dog is very friendly and good natured.  Apparently he has been living there for all of his 11 years so is part of the furniture!

Great service and value!

I made a late booking here as a stopover from the Newhaven ferry. Having read some reviews both here and on another site, I wasn't expecting the pleasant surprise which I experienced. The staff were amazing - nothing was too much trouble for them. The room and bathroom were spacious, well equipped, and the bed very comfortable. Although it is situated next to a busy road, I did not hear the traffic noise at all. Breakfast was freshly cooked, and was one of the best "Full English" I've had anywhere! There was also an amazing choice of other food on offer, with as much fruit juice, tea and coffee that you could want. I would definitely stay here again, as the welcome I received, together with the standard of my room, and also the value for money made my experience a very positive one! 

Great value for money with exceptionally pleasant and helpful staff.

This place is situated on a busy dual carriageway, however surprisingly quite. The rooms are quite small and abit dated, but otherwise ok. Food was fine and the bar was quiet, but not an unpleasant place to stay. There is nothing nearby only a garage.

Not bad for overnight

Great place loverly food ,landlord is lovely go out there way to please .food and service is great proper cooked sunday dinner loads of choice to pick from .I go have been calling her a lot recently .Its a shame when there is all one customer who trys to cause problems .re your dogs madam . The land lords has a beautifully soft dog recommend this place .

Review last post 

The positives are the friendly, helpful staff. The cooked breakfast was tasty, even with basic ingredients. The room was comfortable and quiet. The location was perfect for visiting the Uni.

Unfortunately due to the prices charged our expectations were higher than the actual product provided. The premises is a bit shabby/tired. From some of the photos it looks like some rooms may have been recently decorated, however ours wasn't. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and the shower powerful. There was mould on the ceiling, however I have seen worse. The towels were small and threadbare/thin. The premises is next to a busy dual carriageway, which we didn't hear due to our windows being closed, however this could be an issue in the summer. 

The breakfast menu offered a continental breakfast including museli/pastries and yoghurt, however these were not on offer. Instead for £10 each, there was a basic selection of variety pack cereals, a plastic bottle of full fat milk and a bag of sliced white bread for you to toast. There were sachets of butter and marmalade/ jam. Coffee was available to help yourself and tea in a pot if you asked. The second day we did have a cooked breakfast and whilst tasty, it was presented in a basic manner, with basic ingredients.

Overall if the price had been lower it would have been good value. As it was, it was very over priced. You can get cheaper more luxurious rooms and breakfast at the Premiere Inn or even Travelodge.
