Booked at very short notice through the internet. Late arrival and early departure - the owner cooked us a lovely English breakfast at 7.30am on a Sunday morning! Would definitely recommend - beautifully decorated, large, clean bedroom and bathroom. Very comfortable bed with expensive bedding. Walking distance to what looked like good restaurants - they were all busy on a... More

Booked last minute for a weekend away - the welcome was lovely from the owner, and our room was spot on - clean comfy and warm. Big comfy bed! Bathroom a little small, but this didn't matter. Short walk to beach, front and restaurants. Car parking (free) a real bonus, so no worries about that. Breakfast was excellent, in lovely... More

I can only write funny reviews about bad hotels and as this hotel is a good hotel this review will be informative but dull. We stayed four nights, the room was clean and nicely decorated, the bed was very comfortable with good quality pillows,very important, I have a thing about hotel pillows, ask my wife, as usually they are cheap...

This is a lovely hotel, just up from the beach. The young owners are so helpful and friendly and will accommodate any request that is possible. The rooms were spotless and we stayed in a superior room downstairs, that was big, light and very comfortable with a large bathroom, bath and single shower. The breakfasts were excellent and the car... More

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. The welcome by the owner was very warming. It's so close ( actually a minutes walk) to the beach and lots of restaurants. There are two things I take with me on leaving a hotel ..... How well did I sleep and how was the breakfast !!! Both were just spot... More

We only stayed one night unfortunately but will certainly go back for a longer stay. The hotel was one of the cleanest we have stayed in. It is very central for everything in Eastbourne. The decor is very well done, the bed was extremely comfortable. The bonus of a car park is paramount in Eastbourne. The couple who run the... More

This hotel was an excellent place to stay, only walking distance to the town with a wide choice of shops from usual high street chains to some great little boutique type shops, and in the other direction the seafront and pier. Also close to a wide choice of good restaurants. Breakfast was really good served by friendly staff. I would... More

I was a lone visitor, a bit apprehensive about travelling on my own. The hotel is very nice, comfortable, enjoyed my breakfast, great location. The hosts are very caring and attentive. I had had a bad week at work and needed to go away for the weekend. She made me feel as is she really cared. Thank you very much.... More

A collegue and I stayed here for a single night and were made to feel extremely welcome by the excellent hosts, despite our late arrival and groggy appearances in the morning. We only had single rooms which were small but not oppressive. The whole place is spotlessly clean and only a short walk away from the sea front or town... More
