Summary: It was lovely being at the Alfriston and getting to know its town. The pool outside was definitely the highlight and the sauna and steam room installations were excellent. The interiors were lovely and the breakfast was top notch!! Would highly recommend! Just be aware if you don’t have a car, it’s a bit of mission to get to Alfriston…there’s a bus but only runs at specific times.

Summary: Very poor service at dinner, staff were nice but seemed overworked and disjointed so lots of running around while you were kept waiting ages for anyone to come over. Quite a frustrating meal experience. Asked for 2 rooms close together which they confirmed, yet placed at opposite ends of the hotel with no explanation or even acknowledgement. Woken up at 645am on Saturday with fire alarms going off, which really ruined the weekend, so we all had breakfast and set off home to get some rest. Not a relaxing break it was meant to be.

Summary: Beautifully decorated hotel very individual n lovely touches like the pantry. Lots of staff n very friendly but not always efficient eg took drink/food orders then disappeared. Spa staff and treatment excellent.

Summary: The main building is nice. We booked a Heritage room but we were given a small hut in the carport. It seems it had been converted from a storage unit. The room was tiny, badly insulated, badly laid out and lacking in amenities. There are no fans or air conditioning and given the proximity to the car park, noise was loud and early.

Summary: We visited here on our honeymoon and had a lovely stay. No upgrades or special touches which was unfortunate, but it is a lovely hotel that had recently been upgraded. The food in the restaurant is great, but service was a bit slow. The pool was lovely but sadly no hot tub

Summary: Most I've used a hotel services in a while, and all was exactly what I needed for my stay. Very relaxing vibe.

Summary: Lovely property. The reception

Rachel May 11, 2025 07:35:05 PM

Summary: We had a fabulous night here, it is much improved since the recent renovations. The new decor is beautiful, even in the 'classic' room which was cosy but perfectly formed. Lots of lovely little touches like glass of wine on arrival, Madeira port in the room, snacks available on request. The spa was small but lovely. Breakfast was very good quality but a little chaotic at 9.30 on Sunday morning - suspect there are a few service glitches still to be ironed out since the reopening - but otherwise the service was top notch, they couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely be back.
