The Star, Alfriston
We are looking forward to returning to Alex and Olga Polizzi’s hotel in the picturesque and historic village of Alfriston. The third and most recent addition to the Polizzi Collection of hotels, The Star is a superbly managed and welcoming hotel with elegant accommodation and delicious cuisine. Music is at the core of our stay at The Star, with three concerts in the Old Chapel just across the road and two talks in the lovely Pilgrim’s Room in the hotel. There will also be time to explore the stunning Sussex coastline and the South Downs, with maps for Alex Polizzi’s favourite walks available at the hotel. Duncan Grant’s murals at Berwick Church and the Towner Gallery at Eastbourne with its collection of works by Eric Ravilious are also within a short drive.
