Reception was great: staff helpful and efficient. Parking was adequate. We were given a free upgrade and I’d recommend the room with access to the veranda. Bed was very comfortable. The evening meal was slightly disappointing. However, it didn’t warrant a fuss. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Alfriston is a small Town with several restaurants and bars. Also, a few shops. A short walk to the Church and Clergy house to visit.

Wingrove House is a welcoming small hotel in the heart of the historic village of Alfriston, just off the South Downs Way. It has been sympathetically restored to make it a comfortable, modern hotel. The staff are friendly and the rooms are spotless. There is a comfortable lounge and I enjoyed sitting there with a book in the evening. Breakfast was also delicious and the restaurante service was great.

Second time we’ve stayed at Wingrove House and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The room we booked was a premium king and had a large bathroom. We ate both nights in the hotel’s restaurant as we enjoyed the food there on our previous visit. The food was as good as we had before.

Almost perfect

Our room (4) was at the front with the use of a verandah which was a bonus. The room was very clean and the bed and bedding were excellent. The only minor issues were the bathroom vanity unit was very tatty with warped wood and slightly peeling paint and the tiles behind the toilet were lifting with grubby grouting. A very good shower both power and temperature but possibly a new shower tray overdue. The bi fold doors to the bathroom did not work well! Several times one of us got stuck in the bathroom or couldn’t get the door open to get in and really noisy to use it during the night. Design needs a rethink. Lovely staff and excellent food. Lounge area very welcoming and comfortable.

Great place for time away

Beautiful village setting and close to everything. A few minor things that could be improved, the bed was so hard that it was hard to sleep and the noise in the hall from doors slamming from the automatic door closers and then load beeping when the doors didn’t quite close. So the food was good and the staff were fine but a lot of noise when you’re in the room.

Wingrove House is a beautiful boutique hotel on the edge of Alfriston's high street. The property is charming with country character. Wonderful amenities including toiletries, fans in the rooms, on-site restaurant, plenty of storage, lounge areas for meeting/reading. It's a short walk to the middle of the village with great pubs, art, craft, book and souvenir shops.

Staff are helpful and well informed about local walking trails, restaurants, etc. Rooms and public areas are kept clean and there's plenty of parking in a private courtyard. The bed was comfy and they have built in USB charges for your devices. We would most definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Disappointed

Having stayed here several times before our expectations were high
Our room was a premium plus room
It wasn’t much different to the other rooms we’d booked before at much less cost
Although the bathroom was a good size
Later that evening around 10 jyst as we were settling down for the night we were stunned to hear extremely loud music coming from the room underneath us
After 5 minutes I rang reception who didn’t answer
I rang again 5 minutes later and I asked if someone could ask the people underneath us to turn down there music I was told it would be done straight away
It was a little while before the music was turned down slightly but it wasn’t fir another hour that it was turned off by which time it was after 11
We discovered the next day it was the kitchen underneath us and they’d been shouting and playing loud music I imagine whilst they were clearing up
Our room was also filled with cooking smells from the kitchen and there was a air conditioning unit outside the bedroom window
Not what we were expecting from a £230 a night room tbh
We’d stayed in a classic room before for a lot less and it was quieter didn’t smell of cooking and we weren’t disturbed by loud music late at night !
Slightly disappointed as it was a special occasion that had the Sheen taken off it

Overpriced but comfy bed.

Room 7 was very hot when we arrived due to being in the sun. No windows open to air the room. Room was £200 but was way overpriced. No fridge so bottled water was warm. No room to put anything. The lights in the bedroom didn’t match. Tiny mirror provided as a dressing mirror. Not very good for the ladies. Trying to be “something “ but not getting there. Temple spa products were nice with a nice bathroom but low quality towels. Carpets were ok but nothing of any standard. When we first arrived we were stood for too long checking in. No invite to take a seat, just no professionalism. Breakfast was nice but for the reheated bacon! Staff were friendly at breakfast. If I had paid £120 for the room my feedback would be OK but at the price we paid it was well overpriced. Alfriston is beautiful though!

Great location to be able to pop into town -if you don’t want to eat in the hotel lots of choice .
Room - small but clean, well appointed, lovely comfortable bed and tea and coffee making in room.
Breakfast- included in our rate basic cold selection but great range on the hot side and some more unusual options .

Noise of cars in road through the night also disturbed us.Difficult to get air into bedroom to cool it down when heating too hot.

The hotel is a beautiful property. My bedroom was well maintained and pleasant. The lounge area was very comfortable and inviting.

However my stay was spoilt by the staff insisting on wearing masks all the time, which I found very unfriendly, rude and intimidating. The rules that masks should be worn when walking around the hotel were thankfully ignored by most of the guests.

If you suffer from germaphobia, you will probably love this hotel. If not, then you may be better off somewhere else.
