The breakfast was delicious and served in a very relaxed manner. I loved that the menu told you where they sourced all their foods from
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.

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

The room we stayed in was beautiful and the setting of the Inn was absolutely beautiful. The hosts really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable - even jumpstarting my car on the morning I was leaving!! Really fantastic stay, and will definitely come back again

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.
For hikers arriving after a 25 km slog along the South Downs Way, the Inne is a veritable paradise. We started sitting down with a pint of good Sussex ale to refuel our weary legs before ascending the stairs to our room. The room
was spacious and clean and with good beds. Then we had a wonderful meal (with Sussex ale) in the charming pub. Alfriston is a beautiful and quiet town, and we slept like babies. We felt welcome and have no complaints!
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.
We quite often visit Alfriston from London and always visit Deans Place, either to stay for a night or two, or just to drink coffee. We always enjoy our visits as it is comfortable, with a variety of places to sit and the staff are very friendly. It has a great, relaxed atmosphere.
The hotel was a perfect base if you are visiting Rathfinny and want to stay in Alfriston village which can only be described as charming. The village has a couple of interesting independent shops and cafes and beautiful buildings typical of the area.
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.
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 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 hotel is set in a lovely location, the communal areas are extremely pleasant and delightful, the breakfast was excellent. The bar staff were attentive and their service was over and beyond what was expected.
The building itself that the hotel is in is beautiful and in a lovely town. We got a warm welcome on arrival from guy behind the bar and the room itself was nice.
