Thanks for your help, we have booked some near Cooksbridge, 3 miles outside Lewes. Cheers, Brian 🙂

Lewes – can anyone recommend a farmhouse B&B within 10 miles of Lewes where we could stay please ? 4 office dwellers in their 40's, looking to stay 9, 10 + 11 October. Suggestions please. Thanks. Brian ❓

Great, thanks Cooroo.
I've been chatting to the other 3 lads and they say we are going to base ourselves in or around Lewes (there's a great brewery in or near Lewes I believe) and do chunks of SDW from there. A hotel or B&B within reach of the brewery or good real ale pub would be good. Cheers, Brian

Thanks 'b r' we'll put that one on the option list. On past trips we've pushed the boat out a bit and gone for pub B&B or small hotel. At the right price we'd like to do same again. Thanks, B

Yes, following Stan’s recommendation 4 of us stayed at Wortley Hall for 3 nights at beginning of May. We all thought ‘top venue’. £22.50 each per night, with great breakfast included, very good indeed. On the 3rd night we were the only residents in the 49 room hotel. Made us feel like Lords of the Manor. Top location. Great beer and food in nearby Sheffield, and the food and beer at the hotel was very good too, along with snooker room, pol room, and more. Top recommendation Stan, thanks. Brian of Norwich

Just come back from 3 days at Wortley Hall (a few miles outside Sheffield) and had a great time. Thanks for recommendation. £22.50 for en-suite rooms with TV and a shower to shout about is great vale. Breakfast was top, just right for long days on trail. Fat Cat pub in Sheffield was good along with great Indian restaurant, name escapes me, unlicensed so take your own beer/wine place. Great. The trails were good too, though found we were going South alotfor the better ones. Thanks for recommending Wortley Hall, perfect timing as I was minutes away from booking the Hope Cafe. We rode the Hope trails as it happened and good they are too. Cheers, Brian from Norwich

Thanks Stan, will check ity out. I was just about to make a booking at Woodbine and thought I would check Forum first. Cheers, Brian

Thanks, I was just looking at their website a few minutes ago. I have taken their phone number and will ring tomorrow. The 3 lads on the May trip were based around Castleton last time they went to Peaks and are hoping to find something more North this time. Is there anything to the West or South of Holmfirth, for example ?
I have just realised this site has a ‘search Forum’ facility, so I will also continue looking for past comments and recommends regarding Peak accomodation. Thanks, B
