Piltdown Golf Club
Piltdown Golf Club in East Sussex is close to Uckfield, Hayward’s Heath and Lewes and was founded in 1904. The course was constructed on Piltdown Common near to the Piltdown Pond. It has no sand bunkers and is not particularly long, measuring just over 6000 yards from the medal tees. The terrain is fairly level but the narrow fairways; small greens and an abundance of heather and gorse make for challenging golf.
For guests staying at Pelham House, we are able to offer a fantastic green fee rate of £25.00 per round at Piltdown Golf Club. This is reduced from the usual £40.00. Please ask us to book your round in at the time of making your bedroom reservation. Subject to availability. Payments for green fees are to be made directly with the Pro Shop.
Lewes Golf Course
Lewes Golf Course has spectacular views. Golf has been played in Lewes’ downland course since 1896. Excellent drainage and professional maintenance of the course guarantee play all the year round, always on the main greens, and usually on grass tees.
The elevated location of the course provides panoramic view of the Sussex countryside in all compass directions. The challenge presented by the 6224 yards course is enhanced by the undulating fairways and greens and by the elements. Visitors have access to a five bay driving range and practice chipping and putting greens.
For guests staying at Pelham House, we are able to offer a fantastic green fee rate of £20.00 per round at Lewes Golf Club. This is reduced from the usual £30.00.

Recession over as hotel has bumper bank holiday
A leading Lewes hotel is celebrating after welcoming more than 1,000 people through its doors over its busiest Bank Holiday weekend ever.
The historic 16th century Pelham House Hotel is looking forward to a bumper summer after experiencing a surge in bookings as more and more people decide to stay in Britain for short-breaks and holidays.
Business Development Manager Abi Stevenson said: “We had a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend with an unprecedented number of guests.
“Flying abroad is becoming increasingly difficult what with disruptions caused by industrial disputes and the Icelandic volcano and people are rediscovering how beautiful England is.
“Lewes is a very attractive town with lots of amenities and is close to Brighton and the Downs so it makes an ideal escape destination which is great news for the town’s businesses and for the local economy in general.”
Pelham House which has 31 boutique style bedrooms is famous for its art exhibitions and varied collection of sculptures and paintings, as well as its stunning gardens and views over the Sussex Downs. Over the bank holiday weekend, nearly 600 diners ate in the hotel’s elegant restaurant, with 129 guests booking in to overnight accommodation, and almost 300 people attending events including two hotel weddings and a silver wedding anniversary.
The hotel is also renowned for its conference and meeting facilities. Mrs Stevenson added: “Like all businesses Pelham House was affected by the recession, but we are now experiencing a huge upturn in business which is very exciting.”

Jane and Janet's Civil Partnership
We chose Pelham House for a number of reasons. It is located in the beautiful town of Lewes with its historical interest and good transport links.
The prime function of Pelham House is a venue for Civil Partnerships and Weddings. It has been awarded 4 stars for its accommodation and provides en-suite facilities in all rooms.
It also has the space to match our needs for the day, both for those people who will be with us all day and for many more able to join us in the evening.
The real plus for this venue is that the Head Chef was previously employed at Terre a Terre; Brighton's award winning vegetarian restaurant!
We had our first get together at the potential venue on Saturday. We met the Wedding and Civil Partnership Planner (Liza). And as easy as pie, that was it……… we said yes we like this place, lets do it here.
Fairly easy really, no driving around to numerous places checking them out or scoring them, (as if I would!). Liza’s been very polite and offered us a ‘think it over’ period until early January. Probably worried we were seduced by all the fun and festivities of Winter-val or Christmas and just wanted to throw money away on this event.
Or maybe it was that she detected we’d had an argument before we left the house to get to the hotel!
We had a look around the rooms, the garden and bedrooms. They were preparing for a wedding (the traditional variety) when we were there so we could get a sense of what the place could look like and also what we wouldn’t want.

Pelham House hosts future of fishing debate
Diners in Lewes have been encouraged to develop a responsible attitude towards the seas after participating in a sustainable fishing event at Pelham House hotel and restaurant.
The 4-star 16th Century hotel, formerly Sussex Council’s headquarters, hosted a two course sustainable fish meal followed by a screening of ‘The End of the Line’ with an after dinner debate on the subject of environmentally responsible fishing on behalf of Slow Food Brighton and Lewes and the Transition Town Lewes Food Group.
Paul Morgan, General Manager at Pelham House said: “Our hotel is extremely supportive of any events that encourage local food in and around Lewes. Rather than just buying a product with a bottom line profit in mind, our idea is to try to source our food and drink sensibly. We use local beef, lamb, fish, as well as dairy products, sausages eggs, and English sparkling wine. The event encouraged people to think about where their food comes from and to make the most of tasty and environmentally-friendly food.”
Pelham House served a range of fish dishes originating from sustainable sources including smoked mackerel fillet and bouillabaisse.
Dr. Ursula Hudson, Chair of Slow Food Brighton and Lewes said: “The event was not about abstaining from eating fish, or indeed fishing, but encouraged a responsible attitude towards how people buy and consume fish. Both Slow Food Brighton and Lewes and Transition Town Lewes Food Group have similar principles in that food should taste good, be environmentally friendly and fair in terms of paying suppliers and workers. We have such fantastic food in our part of the world, which local residents can really make the most of it – if they want to.”

Wine expert gives top marks to Lewes variety at Pelham House
A local sparkling wine has passed the taste test after a leading expert gave it top marks during a recent visit to Pelham House hotel and restaurant in Lewes.
Author and journalist Jonathan Ray, who contributes regular articles to the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator, the Mail on Sunday, GQ and the Saturday Telegraph, sampled the award-winning Breaky Bottom at the hotel alongside general manager Paul Morgan and winemaker Peter Hall.
Mr. Ray, a regular visitor to the 4-star 16th Century hotel, said: “Breaky Bottom is a great example of English sparkling wine. It is important to support local wine as long as it tastes good – and the Seyval Blanc grape it as good as it gets.”
Breaky Bottom, which comes from a vineyard in the South Downs five miles from Lewes, was the chosen wine of the G8 summit at Gleneagles and its Seyval Blanc 1990 won a gold medal in the International Wine Challenge in 1993.
Paul Morgan, General Manager at Pelham House said: “Last year we re-launched our new bar and restaurant in order to focus on simple and delicious food, using locally-sourced produce at a fair price. It is a great to now have regular connoisseurs such as Jonathan Ray through our doors. Lewes has a fantastic offering in terms of quality food and drink and our commitment to supporting local produce such as Breaky Bottom has ensured people come back to the hotel time and time again.”
Pelham House hotel and restaurant invests in high-quality locally produced ingredients. It recently collaborated with Slow Food Brighton and Lewes and the Transition Town Lewes Food Group to host a sustainable fish event and uses local beef, lamb, fish, dairy products, sausages, eggs and English sparkling wine in its menus.
