"On arrival we were warmly and professionally greeted after a nearly three hour drive from London , due to heavy traffic and diversions Not having eaten since breakfast, and arriving mid afternoon. Instead of unpacking, we went straight to the lounge area to order drinks...and a snack On attempting to order a sandwich, latte and tea we were told that as the lunch service finished at 3pm only scones or cakes were available! The waiter then left to bring our drinks When he returned he confirmed that no sandwiches were available and repeated the offer of scones and cake We asked him to ask the Chef , he returned to say that the Chef had said no! We were shocked and asked for the Manager We told him that surely in a luxury 5Star hotel it must be possible to organise a sandwich.He also repeated what the waiter had said We asked if the kitchen had, bread, butter, cheese, eggs, smoked salmon and he said that it did We said in that case a sandwich could be made, He went away and a few minutes later the sandwich appeared The hotel, a refurbished inn , has been extensively modernised and extended in excellent taste and forms part of the POLIZZI COLLECTION Our suite was tastefully decorated , very bright, with windows on two sides No bedroom mirror was provided.Most unusual and badly thought out. The bath again was of a good size, but badly let down by the very poor quality EU made, hard towels.The bathroom accessories were made by Bramley , a Wiltshire based company The two sink units were functional with no drawers or storage space Housekeeping similarly seemed to lack direction or oversight, as after our room was cleaned , one hand towel was not replaced . For many guests the highlight of a visit is Dinner and Breakfast Our Dinner on our first night was almost like an episode from the Fawlty Towers television series. There was no evidence of any managerial oversight Whilst we were promptly shown to our table, the rest of the evening went downhill Sparkling water was ordered, after ten minutes tap water arrived and we said to the waitress that we had ordered sparkling water to which she replied “ oh , did you?” She then went away to fetch it Whilst other tables were served bread as soon as they were seated, we were not We had to ask a passing waiter and waited several minutes for it to arrive The Manager, Edward , who had organised the afternoon sandwich had shown us to table, but that was the last that we saw of him until we sought to query and pay our bill The menu was limited to say the least Four choices for each of the three courses! The choice of vegetables was even more limited , with only boiled Anya Potatoes, as a potato choice I had an excellent vegetable minestrone to start, followed by a totally inedible uncooked veal escalope and a green salad, comprising mainly radicchio and just a few lettuce leaves. I sent it back pointing out that under the cooked breadcrumb coating there was a layer of fat which did not permit the veal to be cooked. Instead of the escalope being flattened to allow cooking , it had not and when the replacement escalope arrived the waitress said that she had “ re-cooked it” On clarification we were told that what she had said was “ verbiage” and that she actually meant to have said “ replaced” Unfortunately, it was just as inedible as the first offering and left uneaten. The waiting staff were totally inattentive, and walked past without looking at the seated diners to notice if anyone required anything It was perhaps one of the worst main course meals I had ever eaten My wife’s fish dish was excellent On seeking to pay our bill the inedible veal dish was charged for .The Manager reappeared and being confronted , hastily removed the charge and presented another but reduced bill. Matters were made worse by the fact that we had booked eight months earlier and we were looking forward to a really super three night stay at what we thought would a 5 Star luxury hotel, we were mistaken The Breakfast was tasty , well presented and served with a good choice of hot dishes The self service buffet was mediocre to say the least Very poor selections No cheeses, no charcuterie, no breads, no butter, one pot of jam, a bowl of various mini croissants, several dishes of tinted fruits, a plate of fresh oranges, blood oranges and figs well presented. 5 STAR, NO WAY The serving staff, a different team from the night before, save for the lead waiter, were charming , attentive, helpful and smiled The lead Italian waiter who served at Dinner also served at the Breakfast sitting was superb! If only the others were trained like him. Edward , the Manager was not seen. This hotel is a prime example of style over substance The raison d’etre of the hospitality industry is to provide its guests with great experiences and above all, value for money This hotel with very poor management, insufficient staff training , and limited menu lacks in every case. A so called 5 Star hotel should have a more extensive Dinner menu or if seeking to save on costs with the current limited menu , at least offer one“ Daily Special “ for each course, especially with regard to locally grown seasonal vegetables Unfortunately, a very expensive forgettable experience NOT to repeated and certainly not to be recommended. I am sure that the Hotel Inspector would have written in her hotel report” room for improvement, could do much better “"

we were not hopeful of many vegan options when we parked the camper on the nearby camping site, but we were surprised to discover the very accommodating george inn! the veggie and vegan options are clearly marked on the menu and we have the delicious locally produced brot with olive oil and balsamico hut optional, as well as a delicious creamy glasses Visualizza piatti

for a drink 31. we had a glass of white wine and a tomato juice. we were calculated eighteen pfund 50p! what a demolition. it is just a small hotel in a pretty but small village - hardly the...center of mayfair. at an earlier occasion we had lunch there and my meat dish was £28 or there was. will never go back, even though we live in front of location.

fighting to convert the building and cope with the covid pandemic are known. we had lunch on the 3rd juli courtyard eating with a creative simple menu and excellent drinks options. what emphasizes is the attention to detail and friendly service that added to a great atmosphere for a birthday contract. not too expensive. cannot wait to return and one of the best bookshops we have visited is next door!

I must admit I was pretty impressed that our order was taken by The Hotel Inspector herself Alex Polizzi, who was buzzing about chatting to everyone. (unfortunate that the last reviewer missed out). This was our second visit for dinner. It was a Wednesday...and the place was packed. We find the Italian food, service and environment to be most excellent. A gastronomic oasis in these parts. We're looking forward to many more evenings and lunches here. Visualizza piatti

Anyone who owns an old property should visit The Star in Alfreston. It is a shining example of making the very best of a dilapidated listed building with the best possible taste. Alex Polizzi has achieved a stunning make-over with this rather difficult property. Unsurprisingly...her decor is amazing and her wonderful staff are of course a credit to her. We couldn't fault it and can't wait to return. We all love old buildings but very clever style is needed to bring them up to todays standards. Her inspiration work says it all.

The location and hotel/restaurant are extremely and tastefully done as one might expect. We had supper at The Star, in the Dining Room. The service was very good and we had an attentive, very polite waiter/waitress. The food was pretty good, well cooked and locally...sourced. Starter/main dishes are heavy on the garlic and a tad more seasoning is needed IMO. The local cheeses were surprisingly bland. Politzi was doing the FOH hosting when we ate that evening. If she is part of The Star show and this justifies the high ticket price, I want a discount as she didn't come to and greet us! Overall ok.
