Quintessential English Village
A charming village the highlights of which are:
Poco - Italian restaurant
Being extremely dog friendly
A vineyard within walking distance
The local shop with a lovely deli at the rear
A traditional shop in the centre of the village. There's a delicatessen offering cheese and meats alongside baked goods and local produce including wine.

Excellent village shop
There's a wide range of good food stocked, with a deli counter and mix of staples and treats. We've used it on a number of trips to the area and often attempt a walk to Alfriston when staying nearby if we need to pick up a few extras that we can carry back.

Lovely well stocked village store
This little village store was delightful. It had so many items on sale and the deli was superb. We bought items from there several times which we ate in the garden in the evening with a bottle of wine.
Centrally located on the high street, this traditional pub offers hearty food, warming log fires and real ales. Everyone is welcome here, including your four legged friends.

Delightful old country pub
We ate at The George Inn on several occasions and each time the food was delicious. The pub itself is cosy with a lovely ambience and the staff friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of our favourite places to eat.
Found next to the grand church in Alftriston, The Clergy House was the National Trusts first ever property. Built in the early 15th century this Wealden hall-house sits amidst rolling countryside and overlooks the Cuckmere river. The cottage garden and orchard are a delight.

Lovely old National Trust House
We visited The Clergy House and had a truly enjoyable experience. We took the guided tour on offer in the garden and the lady was very interesting and informative as was the guide inside the house. This made all the difference as we learnt so much. Such a lovely place to visit.
