The Alfriston  

In the storybook village of Alfriston, tucked under the rolling South Downs. A short drive from Brighton, Glyndebourne and the Seven Sisters Country Park, with Long Man of Wilmington, Drusillas Zoo and Newhaven Ferry Port all close by.

Set in a 14th‑century house on five acres of landscaped gardens, this recently refurbished hotel pairs historic features with cosy lounges and contemporary rooms. Many rooms have garden or terrace views, flat‑screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and private bathrooms; housekeeping is daily.

Dip in the outdoor heated pool (open May–September), wander croquet lawns, try the mini‑putting green or new boules court, and relax on garden terraces. Family‑friendly play areas, picnic spots and free on‑site parking add to the easygoing vibe. Pet‑friendly options are available.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, meeting and conference facilities and wedding services. A 24‑hour front desk and free self‑parking make arrivals and events simple.

An on‑site restaurant and lively bar/lounge serve up delicious food and interesting wines, with room service during limited hours. A complimentary English breakfast is offered on weekdays, and local Sussex markets are close for seasonal flavours.
