We arranged our wedding at The Alfriston in just a few months after celebrating our engagement there in November 2025. It felt like the perfect place for a winter wedding weekend. Lots of our guests stayed with us at the hotel and the atmosphere was wonderful. The staff at The Alfriston went above and beyond to make our celebration so special. The service, food and drinks were great, the rooms so comfortable and it was great to have the bar area and spa to relax in over the weekend. Thank you again for the best experience, we will be back to visit soon, Emma and Josh
