Beautiful place to stay. Views are amazing as well as the decor.
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.

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.
Located in the heart of Hailsham, The Crown Hotel offers a vibrant cafe, traditional bar and modern bedrooms, and is only a 20-minute drive from Eastbourne.

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 have visited Many times and will be returning.our room spotless and had been cleaned thoroughly as it's a dog friendly hotel we were concerned not being a dog owner. We
Needn't have worried.
The location at the edge of Alfriston is excellent. The building has an interesting history. The room was relatively well equipped, but had no safe or refrigerator or robes. We had a very good dinner in the restaurant one night. The breakfasts were excellent, with hot items chosen from a menu. There is a very nice outdoor terrace and and a very comfortable indoor lounge. One night we walked on a small path (marked close to the car park) to Deans Place Hotel next door for dessert and drinks, which was interesting.
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.
The best were:
1) The staff. The hotel felt like that the country hotel was our second home. Everyone was polite, helpful and efficient.
2)The Mushroom pie I ordered for my evening meal was exquisite, I have never tasted anything so good.As a vegetarian it is often difficult to get excellent vegetarian meals but this was wonderful
The staff were very friendly. Sarah was particularly helpful in guiding me to a FREE parking area. Alfriston is not particularly large and free overnight parking can be an issue. Our evening meal of local sausages and mash was very good and reasonably priced. The closeness of Alfriston to the Rathfinny Wine Estate.
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
It's a beautiful hotel right next to the historic Sussex village Alfriston. The hotel guided us to lovely walks in the area. We loved the swimming pool, dinner in the garden, comfortable room, quality breakfast and friendly staff. Recommend a visit to nearby Rathfinny vineyard
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.
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.
Alfriston is a beautiful village with plenty of pubs and cafes. The owner was lovely and very accommodating. Quaint room with a big comfy bed and everything you need. Breakfast is included. Would stay again thank you!
The accommodation was clean, the host was friendly and took time to explain house rules etc. A great location within the interesting village of Alfriston. Self checking out was very easy.
The hotel is in a great location near the river on the edge of the village. The grounds are beautiful, and there is a lovely terrace. The public rooms are spacious and comfortable.
This hotel is very convenient for the ferry in Newhaven, this was our third stay and we will use it again in the future.
Very good restaurant and friendly staff.
Private parking.
A very comfortable hotel with ample parking in the beautiful and historic village of Alfriston. The room was cosy and clean with good facilities. Would book again.
