Only issue was the room temp. 27 degrees. But a fan was provided which we kept on full all night. A bit noisy, so pleased I remembered my ear plugs!

Setting is stunning. Lovely to be surrounded by the vineyard.

Room did smell a little musty due to the wetroom and no ventilation other than a window.

Beautiful barn rooms situated in a stunning area.

Room was small for a double

The location was quite remote, fine if you are driving less so when walking like I was. Breakfast was great, as was the evening meal. Room was a little small, OK for me travelling alone but would have been a squeeze for 2 people.

The room has some obvious design flaws. One issue is the lack of airflow in the building. This is a real shame as it is otherwise stunning. The lack of airflow causes the room to get very hot quite quickly, even for a relatively mild month like March. The bathroom also needs an extractor fan as the steam stayed in the room after a shower, trapping hot condensation in the room and making it even hotter. We did manage to cool the room somewhat by switching off the thermostat and opening the tiny window (apparently the heating in the building is set to warm up to 21 degrees when the temperature drops to 18 degrees, which is still too hot for a good night's sleep). The room was also very small - while this was manageable for a 2 night stay this would have been quite uncomfortable for a longer duration. The luggage we had barely fit in! I also thought it was a lost opportunity for the room to have such a tiny window - the views are lovely and it would been nice to appreciate it from the room. Finally, the road is very bumpy from the tasting room to the accommodation - maintenance is much needed! All that said for the shortcomings, we did have a lovely stay and the staff couldn't do anything about the building design flaws.

The accommodation is nestled in the Rathfinny wine estate. It has great views and the building looks very well kept. The breakfast was excellent and able to accommodate allergies. The staff were very attentive. The bed was super comfy too. If you have a chance, I would recommend tasting the wine from the shop cellar. There's no need to book the tour (unless you want to see more of the wine making facilities), and they didn't charge us for the tasting. We did buy a bottle of sparkling wine, but there was no pressure to buy. There are also walks you can do around the estate.

Room was lovely but i definitely think it was on the smaller side which i did not realise when booking. I wouldn't have wanted more than one person in there.

The staff, location, style of property and food was incredible. One of the best breakfast's I have had. Staff on check in were incredibly helpful. Make sure you order a glass of wine too as their wine is incredible!

Phone signal is patchy but wonderful if you want to escape from it all!

Beautiful location in the middle of the vineyard, so tranquil. Super cosy room, dinner and breakfast both excellent. Staff were wonderful throughout, at the barns and very knowledgeable for the wine tour and tasting. Will be back!

Being placed on a table next to the kitchen door. 25 minute wait for breakfast second course.

My single bed room was small, but excellently appointed. Very comfortable with all hotel facilities packed into the small space. A real coffee machine, tea matching facilities with fresh milk and modern shower. The spaceous lounge was furnished with comfortable armchairs and setees with pleasant aspects to the vineyard. The quality of food and presentation, both evening meal and breakfast was the best I've seen in an English country hotel and not bettered since I visited that home of French gastronomy, Toulouse. Prices reasonable considering the quality of the food. Am planning my next visit to include a tour of the winery.

The bedrooms are small- 8x5 is not much room with a double bed. It’s ok for 1 night but as one side of the bed is against the wall it would not be good for further nights.

Beautiful location, very quiet & peaceful. The lounge & dining area are comfortable & spacious.

The room was quite bijou but that was the only drawback. The room got quite hot but we didn't realise that there was a temperature panel until the morning.

The breakfast was really tasty. The space that was used as a 'snug' was nice to relax in. Overall, very quiet and enjoyable.

I stayed at The Flint Barns B&B for 1 night whilst I was travelling. I absolutely loved it! It's such a peaceful place to stay and unwind. There's some lovely walks to go on around the Rathfinny wine estate. My room was very cozy and the breakfast was delicious! Really enjoyed my stay and I will be back.

Just found the room a bit small and dark with a very small window!

I was walking on the South Downs Way and it was a very long walk at the end of a tiring day uphill! But it was a lovely view!

Nothing - room was very small but absolutely fine for 2 small people and worth it for the cheaper price

The last few 50/60 metres of the road that leads to the hotel are not well maintained and full of potholes and gravel. Might be an issue if you're travelling by motorcycle, like I did.

The place is located in a beautiful vineyard. Guests have the opportunity to take a walk in the estate, following the Rathfinny Trail. I did that just before dinner, very relaxing, beautiful views. Excellent breakfast a la carte.

The room was a bit on the small side but I kind of knew if would be and it was very cute so I was happy with it. The only thing I hadn't realised was that it did not have a TV and since there is not much to do there in the evening it would've been nice to have some entertainment for the evening and I missed having a TV. I managed to use my mobile to watch some things in the end. No view but I knew that would be case as well. My room was just above the entrance and near the outdoor entertainment area, so when I was trying to get a nap during the afternoon (after the tour and a little bit of tasting wine) I could hear the young people who had gathered outside and were socialising, so had to close the window (which I had opened to get some air in the room as it was warm and stuffy that day). With the window closed though I think the noise didn't bother me much thankfully. I didn't want to eat at the restaurant at the hotel as I didn't want to have a two course meal and they don't seem to have an a la carte option but unfortunately there were not many options nearby so ended up eating in Seaford, as the restaurants in Afriston seemed to be on the pricey side. One thing I have to add about the restaurant is that it was a bit claustrophobic and didn't have any windows anywhere, so to me it wasn't very inviting, which is one of the reasons I didn't want to eat there. It is a shame with such nice views outside, not to position the restaurant somewhere and somehow that there would be windows down onto the vineyard. The living room had a nice view though but because I was on my own I didn't use it that much.

Lovely location. Breakfast was very nice and staff attentive and helpful. The vineyard was beautiful and amazing. I recommend taking the tour which was very informative and fun. The room was nicely decorated and clean. Slept well.

Too far to walk to

Good breakfast

Only downside was noise of (very efficient) plumbing and I suspect I woke up neighbouring rooms when I got up and left early am due to hard floors and heavy oak doors.

Lovely feel, staff excellent, food very good .
