I have stayed at this hotel several times, which speaks for itself. This is a B&B so there's nothing grand or fancy about it, but most of the rooms are of a reasonable size, the bed is comfy and the shower works well. That's enough for me, but there's more. The hosts are very friendly and the breakfast is excellent... More

Rooms clean, breakfast has lots of choice and chef cooks fresh to order and makes a good poached egg. Quaint rooms with hot water for showers but not modern style. A good old traditional b and b friendly management and very close to theatres and tennis. You can park outside free of charge and some restaurants and cafes are only... More

My friend and I were extremely disappointed at the standard of the accommodation we were offered. Shabby, extremely dated and poorly furnished little garret rooms up in the roof. If only we hadn't stupidly booked and paid for them in advance, we would have walked away. Thank God we only had a 2 night stay. In my opinion the standard... More

Clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy but cozy and feel like home. Great breakfast. Free wifi. Close to downdown. Host is very nice and friendly. Sleep very well as you feel like staying home. Price is reasonable. Will stay again if travel again to Eastbourne.

Tiny bed, rain streaming into the room, toilet out of order, money withdrawn at reservation! When booking I had to give credit card details as usual. What was not usual is that the money was withdrawn from my account straight away! Without my knowledge! After having stayed at the hotel, it's pretty clear why! When we arrived I couldn't believe...

A friend booked this for a conference we were attending - great location for the Congress Theatre/Halls. We got the last two rooms available and you could see why. 3a (which he gallantly stayed in) was the tiniest, pokiest room I've seen, and 10 was a garret twin room on the top floor - small window, bit dark, but comfortable...

Helen and Alex are proprietors of lore and culture. The Parkview is a rustic spot on Wilmington Park grounds and 1 ½ blocks to Beachy head. Fine breakfasts, engaging conversations, and easy going social stylings are here. That and the young pianist made our stay memorable.

A nice hotel, the owners are very friendly and make you feel really very welcomed. The room was clean and breakfast is very good.Highly reccommended Only 10 minutes walk to the city centre, the sea is just around the corner and the Devonshihe Park is in front of the hotel. Perfect location. A very nice stay
