"Short, interesting and very chilled indeed!"

8.0

Central, friendly, historic, good food and drinks

Not given clear check in and check out times beforehand. Not informed that there is a continental breakfast. Slightly misleading on parking of car arrangements.

"I would stay here again and would heartily recommend it."

7.0

The location is superb. Right on the South Downs Way on the high street. Very attractive, medieval village high street, very well maintained. Next door to an excellent deli shop. We booked for dinner - I had local sausages in onion gravy, mash and selection of vegetables. Excellent service and the meal was cooked and presented very well at a reasonable price. Great after a days hiking. Shared a room with a friend who took the King size bed (looked super comfy and attractive) and I took the single - which was also very comfortable, proper mattress and lovely beds, pillows.

I liked the property very much. The shower was not working so efficiently - but the owner was on this immediately with the plumber. The breakfast was complementary - it was the basics and help yourself.

"Prima plek om te overnachten na en voor hike op de south down way."

De stijl: echt authentiek hotel

Doordat het authentiek is, is het natuurlijk ook oud. Maar niet storend.

Room is full of charcater as is the whole place (original buiding built in 1365). Great pub grub. Easy parking just down the road. Alfriston is THE quintessential English village.

"Brilliant!"

10.0

We needed an early getaway so couldn't stay for breakfast. However the breakfasts on offer were very appealing and if we ever ventured as far as Alfriston again we would definitely book ourselves into the Smugglers! Thankyou!
