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.

Good value for money. It's an old listed building which come with it's challenges for modernisation. You get what you paid for and it's fair. Service was good and breakfast was good. Shower issue in 1 room and we reported. Shower enclosure was small but we were only staying 1 night so we were not concerned.

Easy to get back to the South Downs Way from the property. The owners are lovely and went out of their way to help us when we arrived. There’s a lovely garden to watch the sunset.

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.
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.
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.
Beautifully appointed bedroom and bathroom, although a second chair would have been useful. Everywhere was spotless.
The staff were courteous, professional and helpful. Dinner was superb with very good choices. The meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Breakfast was, too. We chose this hotel at random and really hit the jackpot!
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
Friendly service by staff and enjoyable evening meals. Location of hotel very pleasant and refreshing cleanliness of room was a high standard as was decor - old metal window frames detracted from overall recent decor.
The variety of food at breakfast was excellent. Unusual items such as pancakes with several different toppings. All the food at the hotel was well cooked and generous helpings. Staff were all friendly and helpful.
The Olde Smugglers Inne was first class.
The hosts were very welcoming.
I could not fault the place. It was a brilliant place to recover and rest after a days walking over the Seven Sisters and Alfriston forest
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 English country hotel in a great location. Very good value. Comfortable bed in a good sized room, proper English breakfast. Nice grounds with outside seating. We would return.
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.
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.
Great location in the center of Alfriston, which is a lovely town. Charming pub below the rooms. Excellent food at the pub. Room is clean and bed comfortable.
Great little lodge in Alfriston, very central and quaint village. Small space but has everything you’d need for a couple of nights for a couple of people
