Had a great stay staff friendly and attentive breakfast choice was fantastic resident dog very cute nice peaceful and quiet place to stay which was just needed when next in eastbourne this will be a first choice thank you so much
This is a real gem, the owners and staff will do anything for you. The decoration/art work is beautiful And we loved having access to a lounge with the use of games. Would highly recommend, just be aware the parking is tight.
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.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Great staff and amenities..very welcoming..we enjoyed our stay..it was a quirky which we liked and it worked well having a lounge where we could have a cuppa and meet with friends and family..
A very warm welcome on arrival and throughout our stay.
The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Room 14 was very spacious, bright, clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was freshly cooked. A good menue to choose from. Fresh coffee, bread and lots of cereal to choose.
We came by train which was a 10 minute walk. There is plenty of parking at the back of the property .
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’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 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.
Absolutely wonderful. A really high standard for everything. Friendly, welcoming, with lot of little extras that make the stay really enjoyable. Highly recommended.
