Reviews of National Trust - Alfriston Clergy House
"This was the 1st ever National Trust site. It’s probably now one if smallest buildings in the NT but Alfriston itself is so lovely so it’s worth a visit. There is no real parking. So park in one of two public car parks and walk to the house. If you are are not a member of the NT consider joining if you are going to visit more than 2-3 NT sites in a year. This house is lovely but very small and quite expensive on its own to visit. But if you visit with NT membership it’s ‘free’. The gardens during the summer are lovely. If you visit the house go to the Church next door too - well worth a visit"
"Well we went to visit the clergy house but unfortunately NT had neglected to tell anyone ( there were many other disappointed people ) it was closed that day. However, that said, the village of Alfriston is a picture postcard little village with some lovely walks a beautiful village green and a small centre with interesting shops. TIP for parking: The first carpark you come to is a pay and display on the left, however venture 100 yards down the road and on the right is a FREE car park for 2 hours which is plenty of time to explore. Enjoy your visit and hopefully have more luck with the clergy house than me."
"The first ever property under National Trust. A really unique place with a beautiful tranquil back garden. Visited before, currently closed, but still deserves 5*!"
"Wow! Found this amazing gem while spending time at Birling Gap. The history of this place is fantastic, the knowledge and helpfulness of the volunteers is brilliant! The place is quite small so you will only need about an hour or maybe 2 to look around. Found the carved oak leaf being the inspiration for the NT logo particularly inspiring!"
"This place is an absolute gem. This is the first property the National Trust ever bought, and it contains an engraving that may have inspired their oak leaf logo. There's something really special about visiting a place that's seen c.700 years of history, and that's just the feeling you get at the Clergy House. The gardens are fantastic, with wonderful smells like mint, rosemary and lavender to enjoy."
