Simple, clean guest house. Perfect for a short stay away. Central location right by the seaside and an ideal place to rest and freshen up after our 14 mile walk via the Seven Sisters from Seaford. Welcoming and helpful staff.

clean and safe

While the room was clean and comfortable, the furnishing and decor looked rather old. For breakfast you were given a table rather than being allowed to choose one yourself which was a bit odd. Breakfast was OK.

Tired but comfortable

The guest house was okay for one or maybe 2 nights but may not be somewhere I would stay for longer periods. The interior is quite dated and could do with a spruce up but to be honest it served us well for the one night that we stayed. A big plus is the close proximity to the theatres and only a five minutes walk to the town centre. The seafront is a minute walk away.

Rekommenderas

Trevligt hotell med bra läge nära piren. Eastbourne är en ren och underhållen stad med många planteringar, parker och utsiktspunkter. Bästa staden vi passerade på vår resa. Missa inte the Pilot in och deras ploughman's. Fin och genomtänkt inredning på hotellet, många bra artiklar i badrummet. Du kan tala svenska med ägaren.

We enjoyed our stay. It is very close to the seafront and 5-10 minute walk into town. Breakfast was also very nice. The hosts were very friendly and very accomodating.The room was very clean.The shower could have done with a bit more power . But on the whole very good . Thank you
