This is - in my opinion - one of those places you have to visit before you die. Preferably on a…read morenice sunny day in the warm months. The pub is steeped in history and that is reflected in the well kept but near un-touched interior. They have some great ales on tap and all are served with a friendly smile and, if not too busy, are happy to talk through some of the pub's history. The garden here in the summer is fantastic. The views are breath-taking and they run a barbecue every Sunday which of course, does attract a huge crowd so either get there early or have some extra bags of patience with you. We head there without fail once a year with a big group of friends and spend the whole afternoon eating and drinking beer, I highly advise you to do the same!

We arrived late on a Friday night and were warmly greeted and given a small tour of the house. Wendy brought us up some tea and home-made cake, served on fine china with silver cutlery. There are only 3 rooms in the house and all of them are decorated beautifully, as is the rest of the house. The breakfast (prepared by Wendy) is fabulous. There's a nice selection of fruit, cereals, tea & coffee, juice, and a warm breakfast including fantastic crispy bacon and fried mushrooms which are to die for. The breakfast is completed with home-made bread and jam, and most importantly, brilliant conversation at the breakfast table. The whole place is delightful, and if you're looking for a quiet romantic getaway on the south coast, I don't think you'll get better than this. Ocklynge Manor deserves far better than 5 stars. I'd give them 6 out of 5!

I had been out in Alfriston for the day with the new boy and after a visit to the local gallery and a glorious walk through the Sussex countryside, we popped in her for a quick glass of red before heading home. The pub, like everything in the picturesque village of Alfriston, is old (14th century) and quaint. Think open fires, low wooded beams and lots of character. Wanting to make the most of the early spring sunshine we sat in the garden which is also beautiful. The service was reasonably friendly if a little brisk and the wine was decidedly average, but the surrounding more than made up for this. We bumped into friends that were having the Sunday roast and they also commented that they had waited a long time for the food and there was nothing special about it, I would like to try this for myself though before making a judgment, maybe something from the al la carte menu which look pretty tasty. I will be back and will happily update my review when I can judge the food for myself!

Attention to cleanliness throughout the house is excellent. Room is welcoming, well furnished with a stylish, homely feel. Bathroom is a little dark being decorated in a mix of fawn and black slate tiles, but clean and functional all the same. Lovely finishing touches with welcome chocs on pillows, scented handwash in the en-suite (not too highly fragranced so boyfriend is happy to use too!) and hyacinth in a glass vase on the shelf above the sink (silk, but all the same, nice attention to detail). Breakfast in the morning will report back on quality there too. Big thumbs-up thus far!

They will answer your email quickly if you have any questions when booking your reservation, as well as send you a confirmation email a few days before you arrive. We came here for the 2017 AIMS Summer Music course in Eastbourne College and loved the convenience of having the Birley Centre directly across from the hotel and the rest of the classrooms one or two blocks away. The cleaning staff were friendly and helpful, although a little absent minded at times (they forgot to refill our toilet paper a few times during our one week stay). On the main floor, there is an electronic piano that saved my life on a few occasions when the practice rooms in the Birley Centre were locked. Overall, I would definitely return on my next trip to Eastbourne!

I visited here for 1 night with my husband and we found many great things about this B&B. The…read morehusband and wife team who owns it are very friendly. The location is great; very short walk into the center of town. There were a total of 3 heaters in the room (1 of which is in the bathroom). It was very chilly when I arrived, and it was so nice to thaw out in a warm space. My room - the Victoria - was quite spacious and had very lovely artwork along the walls. Cute little couch, too. There is a small "lounge" with a computer and mini fridge. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on the food. Wi-fi is available in the lounge, but the owner said it's availability in the rooms varied depending on location in the house. Our connection was pretty good on the ground floor. We had stayed 3 days at a neighboring B&B (Number One Guest House) and the difference was night & day. Churchill was superior in every way. Bit more expensive, but worth it. The reason for 3 stars is simply the bed. All I felt were the metal springs. So uncomfortable, creaky, and sloping toward the center. Whether an establishment is a hotel, B&B, guesthouse, etc. I feel the most important aspect is the bed. We're here to spend the night, yes? Then let's not keep using mattresses when they are years past their expiration date. Maybe the beds in the other rooms were better? I can only hope. Note on payment: Their website says Paypal is accepted, but upon arrival we were told cash only. Check out time is 10AM. Overall, I would recommend, but check the mattress before committing to a room. If they do upgrade the beds, I'd be happy to come back and update my rating to 5 stars :)
