What Guests Say About Their Stay

Gemma

Our stay was fantastic. We didn’t want to leave. Of course the bank holiday weather helped, but we felt we were abroad, eating outside and sitting by the pool. We were also extremely fortunate to have air conditioning in our room. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful hotel. 2 small things that would have made it even better, they ran out of towels in the spa but were offered an extra robe instead. And around the pool it might be useful to have hooks for towels, rather than people placing them on the sun loungers that they then weren’t sitting on. But these are minor niggles to what was a perfect night away.

Overpriced...interiors need to be updated if they want to charge these prices. Quality of the rooms and the breakfast experience does not reflect the price you pay. Staff are friendly and nice.

My fiancée and I stayed at The Alfriston during the last weekend of half-term. The welcome was pleasant, and we appreciated the complimentary glass of wine. Unfortunately, almost every part of the stay had issues. Our room was small, overlooking the spa pool, with fairly standard amenities. Dinner was disappointing. The sole server was friendly but repeatedly forgot our order. Drinks took 20–30 minutes to arrive, the rosé was served warm despite which is quite bad when it costs £12–15 a glass. My salmon, broccoli and puffed rice dish (£25) arrived without the rice due to a delivery issue, leaving a very underwhelming meal. We were offered just £5 off the bill. Breakfast was no better. On the first morning, our eggs were overcooked and had to be remade (20 mins wait). On the second, it took around 40 minutes to prepare two sausages and scrambled eggs despite the restaurant being quiet. The spa was also disappointing, with no towels available and the outdoor pool full of children running and shouting. While it was half-term, don’t advertise it as a luxury experience if you allow it to be treated like a kids pool. At checkout, our concerns were initially met with little response, although a senior staff member stepped in and offered a resolution, which I appreciated. Perhaps we were unlucky, but the experience fell well below expectations. The highlight of the trip was the beautiful weather for the Seven Sisters walk.

We went to the Alfriston hotel to celebrate our anniversary The room was average not really up to our expectations Also the room was unbearably hot with windows wide open all night and the cheap pifco fan to try to keep the room cool which had little or no effect My wife had a swim in the pool and afterwards smelt like she had been swimming in a river We went to explore the village early evening had a very pleasant time in the quaint pubs Arrived back at the hotel at 2030 wanting to get something to eat to be told we could get a packet of crisps which was another disappointment The breakfast was ok could have been hotter But the staff were very pleasant But in all honesty for what we paid it was very disappointing and wouldn’t entertain paying to go back

We had a great stay. The family room was excellent and our kids loved the heated outdoor pool which we used when in February! The staff were lovely and we appreciated the little touches like snacks to take on our walks and home baked cookies. We will definitely be back.
