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. A cosy fireside bar and restaurant complement the bespoke rooms, which all benefit from free Wi-Fi.

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 Ram Inn features a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Lewes. Located around 13 km from AMEX Stadium, the inn with free WiFi is also 19 km away from Victoria Gardens. The property is non-smoking and is located 4.6 km from Glyndebourne Opera House.

The Ram Inn is a unique experience. Tucked away in a peaceful village in Sussex, it transports you into a serene and creative space surrounded by minimal but eclectic furnishings, a big desk to write at and a deep bath to restore oneself. Downstairs it the perfect picture-book English pub serving delicious local produce from the gin through to the venison. I even managed to walk someone else’s dog up through the church yard. The staff were kind and helpful.

    The location was great but no info given on the inn’s biggest draw card - it’s intriguing history. The owner was present but didn’t appear interested in acknowledging or greeting guests.

    Friendly staff and room was very comfortable. On one night we had dinner in the restaurant which was brilliant. Great service and fantastic food. The included breakfast was also great. They included a couple of macaroons in the room too each day which were so nice and a real unexpected treat. Alfriston is also a beautiful village, well worth a visit.

    Nice big room, available for very early check-in (which we appreciated since we were soaked after walking in from Lewes in the rain.) Very pleasant conservatory dining room, good dinner and breakfast. Excellent location - we were able to walk out the front door and catch the bus to our next stop.

    Loved the old feel of the pub and room, dinner was excellent and very well cooked and prepared, breakfast was good and just as described, location was superb right in the middle of the village which was so pretty. Whole vibe of the stay was very relaxed and not too formal which we very much liked. The bar had a great selection of beers

    This was recommended by the friend I went with and it didn't disappoint. A lovely country house hotel. Comfortable with a high level of service and accommodation but very friendly and inviting. We had dinner there on our second night and the manager of the restaurant was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely return.

    Location is excellent: on the footpath with great access to walks. Close to Rathfinny vineyard. Sharon (host) was wonderful - wine, tea, coffee, milk (and condiments) provided. Sharon was really friendly and even gave us a lift for our night out and collected us at 10 pm.

    Four poster bed was a dream and the bath was a welcome surprise. Gorgeous location and staff were friendly and accommodating. They were really dog friendly and being able to have dinner in the pub made our stay super easy. Very spacious rooms with tonnes of character, you real feel like you’ve stepped into another world.

    Beautiful hotel with great facilities in a stunning location! Everyone is really friendly and accommodating, the food is excellent (especially the roast dinner!) and the rooms are good quality. If you like old architecture, beautiful scenery and walking, it’s the perfect place to visit!! Was having so much fun that we spontaneously extended our stay.

    This was our second stay in the cosy double at Rathfinny Wine Estate. The room is cosy, but perfect for a nights stay. We woke up to a foggy vineyard, which was quite beautiful!
