Ideal place to stay for special events
Guests who stayed at The Star Inn Alfriston due to a Valentines' treat were impressed because the staff supplied them with very useful information about the local attractions. The New Year's and Christmas Eve Parties were also fantastically organised. Moreover, for wedding, couples were glad because the parties turned out exactly the way they wanted.

Various modes of entertainment are offered
Many guests loved the live shows offered on-site because the vocalist was great in performing any song. The hotel also has a DJ who plays fantastic mixed music from the past and present. Even the older guests had fun and danced their hearts out.
positive:
A pet friendly establishment
Guests' dogs were treated well and were warmly welcomed as much as their owners. Moreover, the staff always checked the pets' condition and even gave treats and water at times.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Minor issues with the bed sheets and curtains
A few guests said that they noticed some holes on the quilt bed covers. However, they were not that big and the sheets were clean. Moreover, the net curtain in the bathroom was transparent, which guests did not appreciate that much.
negative:
Some in-room amenities are lacking
There are no trash cans in some of the rooms, but the staff can be easily requested for garbage bags. There were also no toilet paper or toilet brush at times, and the guests said they were not given anything until they complained.
negative:
Inadequate breakfast foods
Upon arriving at the breakfast area, guests noted that some items such as eggs and sausages are missing. Some foods are a bit cold too. Freshly cooked eggs are provided upon request, though. Thus, guests are encouraged to go to the breakfast room as early as possible.
