Chalk Farm LDC, hotel in Alfriston

Chalk Farm LDC is situated in Willingdon in Eastbourne, 28 km from Brighton & Hove. The hotel has a sun terrace and views of the garden, and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar.

Upon booking breakfast was included and as it was only £100 for the night for 3, so I wasn't sure what the quality would be like. However, I was very impressed the cooked breakfast was lovely and the concierge at all times was very attentive and catered to our every need.

We were walking the South Downs way and the location was a long way off the path, but a lovely quiet location with a beautiful view of the sunset. Breakfast was lovely with friendly service. Cabin was small but comfortable and great value for money.

Saltmarsh Farmhouse, hotel in Alfriston

Set in West Dean and only 12 km from Eastbourne Pier, Saltmarsh Farmhouse offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The staff were all very welcoming, friendly and responsive. That is so important. Despite the cafe closing at 5pm on second night we were offered a light supper which meant we could stay in and relax rather than drive to a pub somewhere. The bed was very comfortable and the room relaxing. The breakfast was amazing. We could walk out the Farmhouse to stroll on the footpath to Cuckmere Haven or get on the South Downs way. The garden was a lovely place to relax in when the weather permitted.

    Alfriston is very old , historic and scenic.

    Alfriston is very old , historic and scenic. The George pub is from 1397 and there are other old buildings, churches and interesting places to explore. There is a fantastic bookstore, filled with great ideas as well as books. There are many walks in the valley or you can go down to the Downs of Seaford. It would be a good base for relaxing and walking but helpful if you had a car.

    It is a brilliant slightly isolated location which if you live in London must be entirely refreshing. Staff were helpful, hardworking and went beyond my expectations to ensure we had a pleasant stay.

    Alfriston is a delightful village with several historic properties. The streets are very narrow, and it is not a good idea to try to drive through the village. There are two car parks to the north of the village, one on each side of the main approach road, and cars can be parked here, (£1.40 for two hours) provided there is sufficient space. Alfriston Clergy House (National Trust) is well worth a visit, and the very large parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, is known as the Cathedral of the Downs.

    Alfriston is a delightful village with several pubs and a few small shops. Lovely walks by the river and on the Downs. National Trust Clergy House is worth a visit (the first property they bought). There is a vineyard (Rathfinney) on the edge of the village. We had good meals at The George Inn and at the Dean's Place Hotel and also at various country pubs in nearby villages.

    Sadly the accommodation required urgent renovation, dirty carpets and cheap furniture. Bathroom was modern, clean and well presented although the water pressure in the shower was too low unlike the basin which was too high. We had one disappointing and revolting meal, which was poorly presented and served. The staff were generally helpful but the management failed to be ‘fully’ apologetic for their shortcomings. On the other hand breakfast met expectations. The mature gardens were in need urgent attention by an educated gardener. The general fabric of the hotel was tired in the public and general rooms. The hotel showed a lot of wear & tear, which was a ashame ! Overall the 2 night stay was marred by a poorly maintained room and one bad meal. A beautiful ‘manor’ hotel has been ruined by a ‘modernisation’ lacking in sympathy for historical fabric just for a ‘wedding’ venue; I found the rating of 4 Star was far too generous.

    The location at the edge of Alfriston is excellent. The building has an interesting history. The room was relatively well equipped, but had no safe or refrigerator or robes. We had a very good dinner in the restaurant one night. The breakfasts were excellent, with hot items chosen from a menu. There is a very nice outdoor terrace and and a very comfortable indoor lounge. One night we walked on a small path (marked close to the car park) to Deans Place Hotel next door for dessert and drinks, which was interesting.

    Great location for centre of Alfriston village. Nice quaint area. Property fine for a couple of nights, squeezes in alot to this small space. A few more kitchen items than expected. Good WiFi, as phone signal limited. Deskfan was great to help in hot weather, mini hairdryer and mini iron also available, all useful. Good pub and village shop. Would stay again if visiting or travelling through the area. Worth reading other reviews too.

Large outdoor terrace with tables for afternoon tea/drinks. Large indoor guest lounge space. Daily papers available. Lots of free parking on-site. Lots of nice walking from hotel. Close to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters.

    There was a mix-up with the reservation between Booking.com and the hotel. I originally booked just the Saturday and later changes it to Friday and Saturday. However when we arrived there was no record of the Friday booking but the Saturday booking was in place. The hotel very kindly rang around and found us a room for the Friday. I can't speak too highly of the staff.

    The hotel is in a great location (Alfriston is a beautiful village) and has beautiful grounds. The outdoor pool was well-heated with plenty of towels and recliners available. Our room and bathroom were large and comfortable. The breakfast menu was good. We stayed for 2 nights. The hotel is excellent value for money and I would definitely return for a longer stay.

    The secret cottage is beautifully decorated and perfectly equipped. It was really spacious, perfect for a group of four. It's right in the centre of Alfriston, which is a really good base for visiting the Rathfinney Wine estate, Brighton, Eastbourne, Seaford and the whole South downs area. Great communication from the owner in the run up to the holiday and during.

    The hotel is ideally located for exploring the Seven Sisters, only a short drive away. The food at breakfast and dinner was of an excellent standard and nicely presented. The vegetarian/vegan options for dinner were inventive and delicious. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and the bed comfortable. There was a nice lounge area.

    We quite often visit Alfriston from London and always visit Deans Place, either to stay for a night or two, or just to drink coffee. We always enjoy our visits as it is comfortable, with a variety of places to sit and the staff are very friendly. It has a great, relaxed atmosphere.

    Located in the heart of Alfriston, next to the village store. Beautifully converted one-bedroom cottage with all modern conveniences, whilst retaining its unique charm. The owner thoughtfully leaves her homemade chocolates as a welcome gift.
