Ye Olde Smugglers Inne, hotel in Alfriston

A traditional East Sussex inn in the South Downs, Ye Olde Smugglers Inne dates back to the 14th century and retains plenty of its original character.

Lovely personal welcome to a really charming old English pub with rooms. The landlady couldn't do enough for us. The room was beautiful and very comfortable for 3 people. She was especially accommodating about our early start the following morning and left us out some breakfast to take away with us to eat later which we really appreciated

Good choice but my husband ordered the kipper was tiny. Only had 2 breakfasts so not much else to tell. Second day full English was good.

Chalk Farm LDC, hotel in Alfriston

Chalk Farm LDC is located in Willingdon in Eastbourne, 17 mi from Brighton & Hove. The hotel has a sun terrace and views of the garden, and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar.

What an absolutely lovely historic hotel, a hidden gem. The location, staff, and breakfast are all fabulous. The bed was comfy, the room (bigger than I expected!) was cosy and clean with tea, coffee, biscuits and bottled water on offer, the bath and shower were both good pressure and temp, and the staff were so incredibly attentive, welcoming, and happy to answer my (many) questions. It's quiet, rustic, homely, and very good value for money. I would definitely return here and stay for even longer next time.

    Alfriston is very old , historic and scenic.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.
