We were going to stay at one of the famous seafront hotels but having read good reviews we decided to stay at Ravilious. We are really pleased we did! Room was amazing, very spacious, clean, great facilities and beautifully designed. The hosts are really nice people, attentive to our needs and very welcoming. The breakfast was great, all cooked to order and to a very high standard. All in all, a great stay and would thoroughly recommend

We had a fantastic stay at Ravilious – Chris and Caroline are warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. It was the perfect base for exploring Eastbourne and the surrounding countryside. Our room was spotlessly clean, stylish, and very comfortable. Breakfasts were outstanding with so much choice, including vegetarian options, and all beautifully prepared and delicious. We also really appreciated the local restaurant recommendations, which were spot on. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to visit again soon.
