Deans Place Hotel

There are 36 delightfully-appointed bedrooms with private bathrooms and plasma TVs with satellite, including a bridal suite with an elegant four-poster bed, and large executive rooms with views over the South Downs and river.

Deans Place has all the facilities for a perfect break - lounges, a bar, an outdoor heated swimming pool, croquet, boules, a putting green and a large terrace for alfresco dining during the summer months. The locally renowned Harcourts Restaurant serves a range of creatively-designed traditional English dishes, incorporating local produce and ingredients, while the four conference suites feature the latest audio/visual equipment and free wireless broadband, making the ideal setting for meetings and exhibitions.

The picturesque village of Alfriston offers a trip into history - St Andrews, 'The Cathedral of the Downs', and the medieval Clergy House should not be missed. Explore the idyllic rolling hills and tranquil woodlands of the South Downs, visit Drusillas Zoo Park, the Lewes Brewery or take a trip to Beachy Head with its dramatic white cliffs. Further afield, the buzzing seaside city of Brighton is only half an hour away.
