The night porter went out of his way to make mine and my husbands stay special as it was our 30th wedding anniversary well done for the excellent customer service shame the manager wouldn't help with what I had asked for.

The hostel is right on the South Downs Way, so is perfectly located after a long day’s walk. The cafe/kitchen had a good selection of drinks, snacks and meals. The lounge area was really nice too and a great place to relax with a good selection of board games. The staff were really friendly too.

A fine location on the Old Way pilgrim trail, which we were following, plus the numerous pathways on the South Downs. It was tucked away and quiet. The accommodation was pristine and new.

The Tiger Inn is based in the most quaint, beautiful village. The inn itself is cosy, welcoming & they have the loveliest of staff.
Alfriston is very old , historic and scenic. The George pub is from 1397 and there are other old buildings, churches and interesting places to explore. There is a fantastic bookstore, filled with great ideas as well as books. There are many walks in the valley or you can go down to the Downs of Seaford. It would be a good base for relaxing and walking but helpful if you had a car.

It is a brilliant slightly isolated location which if you live in London must be entirely refreshing.
Staff were helpful, hardworking and went beyond my expectations to ensure we had a pleasant stay.

Alfriston is a delightful village with several historic properties. The streets are very narrow, and it is not a good idea to try to drive through the village. There are two car parks to the north of the village, one on each side of the main approach road, and cars can be parked here, (£1.40 for two hours) provided there is sufficient space. Alfriston Clergy House (National Trust) is well worth a visit, and the very large parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, is known as the Cathedral of the Downs.

Alfriston is a delightful village with several pubs and a few small shops. Lovely walks by the river and on the Downs. National Trust Clergy House is worth a visit (the first property they bought). There is a vineyard (Rathfinney) on the edge of the village. We had good meals at The George Inn and at the Dean's Place Hotel and also at various country pubs in nearby villages.

Sadly the accommodation required urgent renovation, dirty carpets and cheap furniture. Bathroom was modern, clean and well presented although the water pressure in the shower was too low unlike the basin which was too high. We had one disappointing and revolting meal, which was poorly presented and served. The staff were generally helpful but the management failed to be ‘fully’ apologetic for their shortcomings. On the other hand breakfast met expectations. The mature gardens were in need urgent attention by an educated gardener. The general fabric of the hotel was tired in the public and general rooms. The hotel showed a lot of wear & tear, which was a ashame ! Overall the 2 night stay was marred by a poorly maintained room and one bad meal. A beautiful ‘manor’ hotel has been ruined by a ‘modernisation’ lacking in sympathy for historical fabric just for a ‘wedding’ venue; I found the rating of 4 Star was far too generous.

Needn't have worried.
We needed overnight accommodation in Alfriston while walking the South Downs Way and were pleased we chose The Smugglers. It's an old building with narrow, winding stairs and lots of nooks and crannies, lots of character. We had a twin room at the back of the building, nice and quiet. Dinner was exceptional, we chose from the "specials" - my husband had swordfish, I had an Indonesian banana flower curry, So tasty.
Comfortable bed. Spacious, modern bathroom with large walk-in shower. Large drawers/storage if staying long enough to unpack. Little porch with 2 chairs and table, nice to sit and briefly relax. Large outdoor terrace with tables for afternoon tea/drinks. Large indoor guest lounge space. Daily papers available. Lots of free parking on-site. Lots of nice walking from hotel. Close to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters.
There was a mix-up with the reservation between Booking.com and the hotel. I originally booked just the Saturday and later changes it to Friday and Saturday. However when we arrived there was no record of the Friday booking but the Saturday booking was in place. The hotel very kindly rang around and found us a room for the Friday. I can't speak too highly of the staff.
The secret cottage is beautifully decorated and perfectly equipped. It was really spacious, perfect for a group of four. It's right in the centre of Alfriston, which is a really good base for visiting the Rathfinney Wine estate, Brighton, Eastbourne, Seaford and the whole South downs area. Great communication from the owner in the run up to the holiday and during.
Well-cooked breakfast with the classic option and nice pastries.
The room is well decorated and very well clean with a pretty nice modern bathroom design
Love the launch area, lovely to relax and have a conversation.
To be such a small villages, is plenty of activities for walker and cyclist, and eating out
Really great staff, and facilities. We went to Rathfinny winery and Deans Place Hotel was the perfect location for this. It also had a swimming pool which was amazing during 30 degree heat this weekend! Breakfast was great, good variety and quality. Would highly recommend.
Cosy pub in attractive, if busy, Sussex village. Friendly helpful staff. Good bar meals. Well situated as a base for Glyndebourne Festival and only 4 miles to South Coast. Lisa, the owner and Barry, the lunchtime barman, were both very helpful and friendly.
Amazing building and friendly staff. Very much an old inn rather than a hotel and decoration and furnishings in keeping with that. Nice pub area. All clean and comfortable. Easy to go on walk through village or countryside without using a car.
Located in the heart of Alfriston, next to the village store. Beautifully converted one-bedroom cottage with all modern conveniences, whilst retaining its unique charm. The owner thoughtfully leaves her homemade chocolates as a welcome gift.
Hotel was elegant throughout, and nice to find Nespresso and macarons in room on arrival. Breakfast was a classy version of standard hotel breakfast (liked the menu options; could have had slightly wider range of cereal). Staff were polite.
the character of being in an old English Inn and Pub. the staff was great and the restaurant had a nice dinner menu. a great location in the heart of the small village with great hiking close by.
Lovely hotel. Relaxed and informal with superb comfort and attentive staff. Gorgeous location. Quiet village with great pubs to eat and drink and fantastic country walks.
This hotel has very attentive, helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the food is first class and reasonably priced.
