Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had a comfy bed and an extra single bedroom, but the bathroom was smaller than expected. The lovely view made up for it. The service was exceptional, with incredibly welcoming and helpful staff in all areas. The location, just on the outskirts of the charming Village of Alfriston in the Beautiful Sussex Countryside, was delightful. However, the dining experience lacked variety, with only freshly baked bread available. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
The hotel is located in the beautiful rolling hills, just on the outskirts of the charming Village of Alfriston in the Beautiful Sussex Countryside, making it a picturesque setting for a stay. The rooms are cozy, with a large double bed, but a very inferior smaller bathroom. The hotel provides an extra single bedroom and plays music from 5 till 10, which adds a lively touch to the atmosphere. The bed is indeed comfy, ensuring a good night's sleep.
