No upgrades or special touches which was unfortunate, but it is a lovely hotel that had recently been upgraded. The food in the restaurant is great, but service was a bit slow. The pool was lovely but sadly no hot tub ##### Holly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick 23 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Alfriston stay at Deans Place hotel Very friendly and helpful staff, great location for the Downs and Cuckmere Valley, had a great stay ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maxine 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Make sure you visit The hotel was lovely the staff were super friendly Ideal location Fabulous food Lovely room ##### maxine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tania 17 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely and cosy Very cosy comfortable and friendly ##### Tania Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A lovely stay We had a lovely few nights at Deans Place, the grounds are immaculate with a pool also which was lovely to make use of. The food was very good and staff very friendly. The rooms are a bit tired in places and a few cobwebs here or there but a lovely hotel and all the communal areas and grounds are very nice ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb hotel, newly renovated We had a fabulous night here, it is much improved since the recent renovations. The new decor is beautiful, even in the 'classic' room which was cosy but perfectly formed. Lots of lovely little touches like glass of wine on arrival, Madeira port in the room, snacks available on request. The spa was small but lovely. Breakfast was very good quality but a little chaotic at 9.30 on Sunday morning - suspect there are a few service glitches still to be ironed out since the reopening - but otherwise the service was top notch, they couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely be back. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Isobel 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice, cosy hotel with friendly staff. It was a friends birthday and the hotel staff were great with helping decorate the room and wished her a happy birthday on arrival. Was a little disappointed with the spa as there is no jacuzzi and just the outdoor pool, it was also freezing in the room with the loungers so not very relaxing! I did ask for someone to adjust the temperature but this didn’t make a difference. The restaurant staff were friendly but the food was quite disappointing, the steak was really underdone despite us being asked how we wanted it cooked, also was not asked if we wanted more drinks or checked on throughout the meal. Good breakfast. The pantry was disappointing in comparison to other sister hotels as was just a small cupboard with a few bags of crisps and lollipops. Overall a nice stay but wouldn’t rush back. ##### Isobel Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 7 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was my first visit to this hotel albeit in extreme weather conditions.It was a 1 night business stay. Staff friendly and helpful.Excellent value for money given the facilities in the room and the inclusion of breakfast in the room rate.Only 2 slight niggles - I had a pint og Long Man cask ale which was past its best(only fully realised this when I had a pint of the same beer at a pub in the village.Cost of the evening meal in the restaurant was quite high at ca. £46 (may be an expensive area?) - this was for a pint of beer, a large glass of wine, a starter and a main course at the cheaper end of the menu.However,apart from the aforementioned beer everything was very good.I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to stay in the area. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 15 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay. The family room was excellent and our kids loved the heated outdoor pool which we used when in February! The staff were lovely and we appreciated the little touches like snacks to take on our walks and home baked cookies.

It was lovely being at the Alfriston and getting to know its town. The pool outside was definitely the highlight and the sauna and steam room installations were excellent. The interiors were lovely and the breakfast was top notch!! Would highly recommend! Just be aware if you don’t have a car, it’s a bit of mission to get to Alfriston…there’s a bus but only runs at specific times. ##### Cain Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I liked everything ##### Jenny Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### richard 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The only criticism would be the tiny bathroom that was difficult to get into as it was so small. ##### richard Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > - [Cherry Park Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Cherry-Park-Hall.h15952872.Hotel-Information) > - [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Pinewood Manchester Airport-Wilmslow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmslow-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pinewood-On-Wilmslow-Hotel-Cheshire.h22074.Hotel-Information) > - [Britannia Hotel Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Manchester-Airport.h2144.Hotel-Information) > - [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [Felbridge Gatwick Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Grinstead-Hotels-Elite-Venue-Selection-Felbridge-Gatwick.h16173617.Hotel-Information) > - [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > - [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [The Bowman by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Bowman.h46162199.Hotel-Information) > - [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > - [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > - [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
