Superior B&B. Big airy room, quirky decor, comfy bed. Good location for seafront, local transport and National Park. Delicious breakfasts. Delightful staff: knowledgeable, helpful, always with a smile. Happy to recommend.

Welcomed by friendly staff, very comfortable room, ery good breakfast
Quirky decor but nice to be a formulaic look. Close to a superb Italian restaurant for dinner. Helpful staff and a great breakfast. Free on-site parking. A great stay
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
I stayed in a single room for two nights. The room was very cosy, clean, and comfortable. The shower runs hot, which they do warn you about, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash is provided. The shared areas (lounge and dining) were lovely, decorated and furnished beautifully. There were even board games provided. In the dining area, there's a shared fridge and microwave free for guests to use. Breakfast was food, providing a mix of hot food and cold (cereal). Staff were also friendly. Location was good, close to town on a quiet street. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
Friendly welcome from the staff and lovely communal lounge and reception areas. The B&B is in a great location, about 3 minutes walk from the beach, or 5 minutes into town or to the theatres. The available parking is also a huge bonus. The breakfast had a very good selection and was of high quality. Overall, a lovely B&B and we hope to return sometime.
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.

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..
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.
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.
