"We had a wonderful stay at The Alfriston Hotel. The room is lovely and the setting within beautiful Alfriston village is delightful. There is a relaxed vibe about the whole place, with people relaxing on the patio and children playing croquet. We had a lovely time. A bit of a shame that the place is let down by the Brasserie - we had lunch there and the food was not good. But the breakfast was great, and everyone was friendly and helpful."
