Overall Ratings & Reviews The Alfriston

Very cosy comfortable and friendly

This was my first visit to this hotel albeit in extreme weather conditions.It was a 1 night business stay. Staff friendly and helpful.Excellent value for money given the facilities in the room and the inclusion of breakfast in the room rate.Only 2 slight niggles - I had a pint og Long Man cask ale which was past its best(only fully realised this when I had a pint of the same beer at a pub in the village.Cost of the evening meal in the restaurant was quite high at ca. £46 (may be an expensive area?) - this was for a pint of beer, a large glass of wine, a starter and a main course at the cheaper end of the menu.However,apart from the aforementioned beer everything was very good.I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to stay in the area.

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location for the Downs and Cuckmere Valley, had a great stay

Need to sort out water supply not good draining an ocean to get hot water

The hotel was lovely the staff were super friendly Ideal location Fabulous food Lovely room

We had a lovely few nights at Deans Place, the grounds are immaculate with a pool also which was lovely to make use of. The food was very good and staff very friendly. The rooms are a bit tired in places and a few cobwebs here or there but a lovely hotel and all the communal areas and grounds are very nice

Just lovely slightly shabby chic country house hotel. Stayed many times. Just live it. Dog friendly great for Glyndebourne CHANGE NOTHING.

Wonderful pool, had a great stay.

Lovely grounds, public areas. Corridor to downstairs bedrooms needs decorating but bedroom itself very nice.

Lovely view from ground floor bedroom. Excellent breakfast. Helpful staff

Been going to Deans Place for years on our annual Glyndebourne visit. It’s just a great country house hotel in a beautiful village in the middle of the S Downs national park. It’s a bit tatty at the edges, the food is predictable and chic it isn’t. We just love it as it is and pray that it does not get boutiqued… for us 5 star

This place is beautiful on the outside, and the experience inside does not match the exterior. Rooms are dated and in need of refurb, and food pretty underwhelming. The price paid for the room is not good value, and they get away with charging this due to the amazing location and setting.

Helpful, friendly welcoming staff, lovely comfortable room, delicious dinner and most generous breakfast.

Very comfortable hotel in a beautiful location. The food was excellent, too, can’t fault it.

Another stay at Deans place, always an enjoyable place to stay with a warm welcome and excellent staff

friendly and accommodating staff

Staff were delightful, friendly and efficient, the hotel and grounds are lovely, breakfast was great (we did not dine) the village gorgeous and we look forward to another visit.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfast. Set in beautiful surroundings.

We stayed for one night. Room was clean and well furnished. Breakfast was good. Staff were nice and friendly. The only thing I would say is bathroom needs some repair and improvement.

Clean but rooms I had I had 2 were dated
