The Rose Cottage Inn

My partner and I booked a last minute night away but, because the welcome and the accommodation were so good, we extended our stay. David and Val are clearly a great team who know how to make people feel welcome with cotton bed linen/towels and excellent quality breakfast ingredients. The convenient but peaceful location with wonderful views was just what we needed! Many thanks and we hope to return another time.

Excellent accommodation after a long hike on the Downs. Great bath and shower, comfortable beds and warm rooms to greet us. Water, tea/coffee facilities. We walked to the Barleymow for a great dinner in the evening. Fantastic breakfast from very kind hosts in the morning to set us up for the hike to Eastbourne. Throughly recommend.

Good welcome nice room and bathroom In room tea and coffee fine Room had sofa and desk so comfortable Really nice breakfast with booked times Recommend particularly if going to Glynebourne as pretty close Has good parking and down a quiet road

Stayed here to go to Charleston festival. Fabulous location for that and close for other places like Lewes and the coast. Our hosts were charming and very knowledgeable about the area, so we visited other attractions while here. Excellent breakfast as well.

Came here after coming off the hills on the second day of walking along the South Downs Way. Not too far from the path and along a metalled road which is very pleasant after a hard day on rough ground. Room was the double cabin 'Hikers' Rest 1' which had an en-suite. Snug bordering on cramped but the bathroom was a good size. The accommodation itself is in a very old pub which is now a guesthouse. Breakfast is very nice and served in the pub's old dining room. Well worth £10. The two owners couldn't be more helpful and sent the instructions to get into the room in advance as well as recommending a nice pub. There are a couple a fair walk away, about 20-30 mins one way. Cricketer's was excellent and worth the extra mile or so. We were very kindly given a lift to the station the next day as well which saved a fortune on a cab. I will seriously consider coming again before walking along the final section to Eastbourne. Thanks!

We had such a lovely stay here whilst on a family weekend for my Birthday. The accommodation was spotlessly clean with views over the pretty garden. We stayed in Hikers Rest One which is a little self contained building in the garden. Just a bed and a bathroom but perfect for us for one night and very warm with a comfy bed. Alciston nestles under the South Downs and is a perfect location if you like to walk. The owners Dave and Val are very accommodating and cooked us a fantastic breakfast. Also dogfriendly, which is always important for us.
