Welcome to Deans Place, Alfriston...

Originally a vast farming estate, Deans Place Country Hotel, Alfriston became a private hotel at the beginning of the 20th century.  Since then the estate has evolved into a highly regarded Sussex Hotel and Restaurant combining heritage charm with impeccable service and tranquillity.

Deans Place Hotel today occupies a particularly beautiful piece of the Sussex countryside – between the sea and the rolling hills of the South Downs - set on the banks of the Cuckmere River and surrounded by four acres of lush gardens.

Our idyllic position offers exhilarating contrasts: the bustle of a village high street, dinner alfresco on a Summer's evening, afternoon tea in a Victorian garden or supper before a crackling log fire.
We also pride ourselves on exquisite weddings, well organised conferences and a diary full of events.

At Deans Place Country Hotel, you are just steps away from the unspoilt 14th century village of Alfriston and a short ride from historic bustling Lewes with its grand castle, and the seaside resorts of Brighton and Eastbourne. For music lovers, we're just a few miles from Glyndebourne where in summer a season of world class opera can be enjoyed.

Ours is the perfect getaway spot to relax and refresh both body and soul, to lap up the ambience and culture of the area, to savour good food and drink, and to simply enjoy every moment of your stay with us.
