Positive: Very comfortable rooms and excellent food. What really made it for us was the staff. Always greeted with a friendly smile and we were made to feel like nothing was too much trouble. There were lots of nice little touches like the welcome drink, goodies in the pantry and a huge supply of indoor and outdoor games. We travelled with our dog and they provided him with a super comfy bed and his own bag of treats. He was well catered for and was able to stay with us at meal times. We were able to walk the dog for miles along the river - which was just through the back gate. Alfriston is a really quaint and historic town with lots of artisan shops, restaurants and cafes. It is all on the doorstep which means our car stayed in the hotel car park for the duration of our stay! Without a doubt, we will be coming back!

Negative: Nothing to dislike!

Summary: Great hotel, great staff, great location - simply the best!

Positive: Everything was perfect, a great spot, the room was lovely and the beds were really comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful with good choices of cooked eggs, all the the staff very nice. The price for our dog was on the high side, the treats and dog bed a plus but he wasn't allowed in the restaurant which was a little disappointing. The Spa facilities were a bonus too, lunch was lovely and the hotel gardens beautiful.

Summary: Beautiful hotel in a lovely spot!
