The hotel is a home from home with a luxury spa, Lovely staff and excellent food, it’s definitely worth the money. Lovely friendly atmosphere, gorgeous grounds and fabulous staff, I wish I could have stayed longer.

An excellent choice on our part!!

Great servers at restaurant and bar. Nice facilities (e.g. pool and lawn). Didn’t have a great experience with the room though as it was a room on the edge of the property just feet away from a busy road with lots of traffic. The blind in the bathroom was too short to cover the window which was a significant privacy issue due to window facing the toilet and the busy road outside window and constant stream of pedestrians. Room was also hot and opening windows due to proximity to the road, pedestrians and traffic wasn’t possible. Room didn’t come with a fan and woman at reception allegedly went to look for a fan at my request but never followed through. For this, I’d rate the check in staff as friendly but subpar. Be sure to request a quiet room if noise is an issue for you and not to be placed near the busy road. Restaurant food was well done. Shower top was dusty but room wa otherwise clean.

Helpful staff made this hotel stand out. Perfect location for Glyndebourne.

Lovely stay lovely pool. Good service. Will come back again

Relaxing stay staff were excellent

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.

Pleasant enough 80s? hotel with a new coat of paint in a good location by picturesque water meadows.

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.

Great!

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.

Really lovely hotel with personal touches, efficient check in and lovely amenities such as the pool and gardens

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

Friendly staff, room was clean and very comfortable with good amenities. Food was very good, both dinner and breakfast.

staff 10 out 10 breakfast nice outdoor pool cold could do with a hot tub

Amazing welcome, lovely staff, beautiful grounds ! Would definitely recommend.

The hotel was wonderful, lovely bedroom and the check in staff were so friendly and helpful.

Incredible location, lovely staff and cosy room. The staff really made this place that extra bit special, they were so attentive and chatty it was lovely to talk to all of them. They really made our stay so much better than just the hotel itself which was beautiful!

Lovely property. Nice additional touches like the 4pm pour (free wine for hotel guests). Easy walk into the village or out into the gorgeous countryside.

Staff all excellent - service fantastic throughout stay from dinner to breakfast, in the spa etc. Room was spotless and hotel in general also clean and tidy
