Beautiful bed and breakfast with gorgeous views and superb hospitality. The owners, Richard and Judy, truly think of every detail. Our cozy room was furnished with tea facilities and delicious home made cookies, a very comfortable bed and a lovely view of the garden. Breakfast options are hearty and delicious (great coffee), a delightful way to start the day. The... More

My family stayed in the Litlington attic room and adjoining room (sharing a shower room between the two rooms). Perfect for a small group like ours. While the rooms will not win any major swanky design awards, we found them clean and comfortable and well stocked with delicious home baked biscuits (tracked down by my 5 year old within 0.001...

We stayed here following my husband's 60th birthday celebration. The owners are friendly and helpful. The room was cold when we arrived but this was soon rectified. The bed was extremely comfortable (one of the best of any hotel we have ever stayed in!) The plumbing was quite noisy in our room, we could hear it in some of the... More

Stayed here for one night, the room was comfortable and a of a good size. Very clean. It's very close to Alfriston, no need for a car. Very friendly hosts, however the views are unbeatable. Best in town.

Richard, the owner is so welcoming and really caters for every need, from recommending restaurants to giving extra helpings at breakfast, which was very tasty. Richard & Judy really go the extra mile; homemade cookies in the bedroom, bottled water replaced daily, Egyptian cotton sheets all made for a really comfortable and... More

Staying at Riverdale House was a wonderful treat! There was a two and a half year old in our party and he was well catered for, with toys and cot and at breakfast. Richard and Judy were more than helpful in suggesting child friendly places to eat in the evening. We stayed in the garden room and it was lovely,... More

We stayed here overnight on our way from Cheshire to Newhaven for a wedding in France. What an absolute delight in every respect - the welcome from Richard, the views, the accommodation, the breakfast and above all the service of which more later.

Officially, Riverdale House is a B&B, but it feels more like a small, elegant and friendly boutique hotel. Our room was beautifully appointed, with comfortable bed, crisp linens, small-but-fabulous bathroom. We had a gorgeous view of the downs. Richard and Judy were attentive hosts, providing evening fires in the sitting room, offering us the use of the conservatory for a... More
