Spent two days (23rd ad 24th April) at this hotel. Excellent hotel, excellent breakfast and you could have absolutely anything the menu was vast, lovely host, nice warm rooms, we chose the top floor with a sea view, lovely bathroom, all nice and clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. We booked a deluxe sea view room and were not disappointed, the view was brilliant! The breakfast menu offered plenty of choice for anyone and the service was friendly. We would definitely stay again.

My wife and I recently won a breakfast for two at The Esplanade. It had been donated by The Esplanade in support of a local charity.

We spent 2 days here and loved it. Rob, the owner, was so helpful from the beginning of our stay right to the end. We asked for specific items and cooking methods and the food was lovely. We intend to return later in the year.

We only spent one night in this hotel with character, and we were sorry we had to leave so soon. The hotel owner clearly loves his house, his way of making a living and his town, and his enthousiasm definitely rubs off on his guests. The room was neat and the bathroom very clean. Breakfast was great, copious and tasty,... More

A group of friends descended on The Esplande and our host, Rob, was super accommodating. Even though we only made it down in time for one breakfast there was a full spread of fresh fruits, pastries, juices and the famous home made museli (topped with lashing of yoghurt!), plus a full a la carte breakfast menu. Delish... The room was... More

Rob the owner is a very well presented person, who also doubles as the breakfast chef in a very positive way. The breakfast is all you will need to set you up for a good day out and about in the local area, be it walking the South Downs Way or just wandering about the local town. Having stayed in... More

I stopped at the Esplanade following a recommendation from a colleague who thought this place was excellent both in terms of standards & service. Rob is an outstanding landlord who puts the customers needs at the forefront of his business. He has great local knowledge & a real passion for people, nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is clean,... More
