"Very nice B&B, in good location. Just a couple of points to mention which was why I have only 4/5. - Room and en-suite smaller than expected, but still nice and comfortable - Breakfast was lovely, but would prefer being able to self serve juice and tea/coffee. Also a full English breakfast should use real sausages, rather than tiny chipolatas - Biggest issues was noise with voices and bathrooms clearly audible from other rooms late and night and early morning."

Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful traditional hotel, full of character and history with incredible staff. Love the sea view, the indoor and outdoor pools and the full 5* service. Great food at the Garden restaurant, and excellent breakfast. There is a reason why this was my 10th stay! Only thing that slightly lets things down is the service in the evening at the bar, which (whilst being very friendly) is slow and always has been - so leave a bit of extra time for your cocktail!"

The Burlington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lift was a problem. Can’t fault staff, food or room."

The Lansdowne, Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, lovely people and everything nearby. Plenty of sea view rooms and handy affordable parking to the front."

The View Hotel

8/10 Good

"A single room with balcony and sea view. Rooms dated but everything works! Food was lovely in the bar and staff friendly and helpful. Parking rate excellent and able to park close by most of the time. Great location."

The Chatsworth Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rain shower and hand held shower inoperative. Cold water valve to both was broken."

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good

"It's a grand old building - and some of the public areas downstairs are nicely done, and look great. Big and spacious reception/foyer and bar area as well (Didn't use the restaurant). The room was a good size, and a decent price - but as wih many of these big, old properties, it's worn & tired. It was cleaned well, and plenty of space."

New Wilmington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean and tidy . Polite helpful staff and right by the seaside 😁"

Sea Shell Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great value for the price and right on the beach :)"

Stylish Victorian Style Seaside Apartment, close to national park

10/10 Excellent

"Für uns war es die perfekte Unterkunft! Am Ortsrand von Eastbourne gelegen war man in 5 Minuten am Strand und direkt in der Nähe gab es Möglichkeiten zum Einkaufen und Essen. In einer halben Stunde war man aber auch zu Fuß in der Innenstadt, am Pier oder am Bahnhof. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!"
