After a long 20 mile walk on the South Downs Way we stumbled into The Star Inn, centrally located in picturesque Alfriston. We were greeted by the friendly and efficient owners and sat down to a refreshing ale in their bar dating back to 1260. Our rooms were spotlessly clean, bathrooms with heated towel racks (already turned on) and amenities,... more

The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful, the meals were excellent, as was the generous breakfast included in the tarriff. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable, with crisp sheets,... more

This was a group of 33 who have being doing this sort of thing all around the country for the last 15 years. As organisers this was our third visit to the hotel, but for the rest of the... more

The Star Inn is a wonderful and relaxing venue in Alfriston- a charming village. We have been staying at the Star every year for the last 7 years- we didn't stay in 2008 because it WAS a little shabby around the edges. Decided to come back this year and so glad we did. The hotel has been taken over by... more
