Team really friendly and helpful, liked the decor throughout the main areas, it was unique and pleasing to the eye. Hot water on demand and a good breakfast in the morning. Hotel situated close to eastbourne seafront and the town centre. An enjoyable experience for my mother and me, thank you.

Lovely place, clean and fresh room with heated blanket for those colder evenings, fresh and clean bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities in room well topped up and tv, free parking which is nice and private (although very tight if you have a large vehicle) and loads of choice at breakfast. Little gem of a place, and really good price, I only stayed one night but will definitely book again.

I enjoyed my one night stop here very much. From the smiles that met me upon arrival to the delicious cooked to order breakfast before departure. Located on a quiet street midway between the station and the seafront it is in a great spot. Room was very comfortable and had everything I needed including tea/coffee and kettle. I didn’t use but saw a cozy lounge with honesty type bar arrangement which would have been used had I stayed longer. Breakfast in the morning served in a bright airy room was excellent and plenty of choice. Would and will stay again.

I’ve stayed here several time when going to a board game event nearby. I think it’s the best place to stay in Eastbourne. The staff are super nice and the rooms have a lovely cosy feel to them. The main areas of the hotel are decorated beautifully and the breakfast is tasty with lots of options.

I had a very relaxing stay. The B&B is close to all amenities, including the beach, but is nevertheless quiet at night. I didn't have a chance to learn all the members of staff by name but I was made to feel welcome by all, especially by the staff over breakfast (the omelette and vegetarian cooked breakfasts on my first two mornings were especially delightful). The dining room is a work of art/gallery in itself. I also received an invitation for an in-house special event on my second night, which was very kind. The en-suite room, in which I slept very well, was clean and snug. Highly recommended.
