Cbh the Alfriston

Location: The hotel is situated in a stunningly beautiful countryside in Sussex, surrounded by woodland and a lovely medieval village. Guests frequently mention the delightful setting and atmospheric location as major highlights of their stay.

We’ve just spent a beautifully relaxing couple of days at The Alfriston. I can honestly say the service was the best I have received anywhere. The staff were incredible. Every interaction was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself is lovely and the grounds are beautiful. We upgraded to a larger room after we arrived - the classic rooms are nice but small, and for two people over six foot felt a bit cramped. But our new room was gorgeous, albeit there are still a couple of extra touches that would make it perfect, but nothing that took away from a great stay. The bar is very cosy and the restaurant - once again impeccable service - was nicely appointed and the food a decent standard and quickly served. The breakfast was particularly good and the Orangery was a stunning place to have your coffee in the morning. My only constructive feedback would be to provide larger robes, as neither of us felt comfortable in the ones provided as they hardly covered our waists (tall people problems) and face flannels in the rooms. I had a very good facial during my visit and the spa relaxation area was very peaceful. Would recommend for the incredibly service and beautiful surroundings.

Wow. What a treat. Used the ‘Whole Day Spa’ package and also had a back massage treatment (‘Emi’ gave me my massage and it was brilliant-such a lovely woman)… very relaxing experience with top notch staff who were so friendly and helpful and the lunch was to die for (managed to get pictures of the puddings before we demolished them!) Lovely atmosphere, no loud thumping music anywhere and a beautifully relaxing time was had - fully recommend it!
