The Chatsworth Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Visiting a relative in Eastbourne, we booked the hotel based on its reviews, and we are so glad we did. With a great position, right on the sea front, with just a short walk to shops and restaurants. A beautiful building, built at the turn of the 20th century it had been completely refurbished, and re-opened in 2019. They have skilfully kept the best things, the 125 year old cage lift, the beautiful downstairs windows and other architectural details, whilst modernising the property in keeping with the original style. We loved the piano bar and the guest lounge. Our room on the top floor has a sea view, a very comfortable bed, coffee machine and tea-making facilities. The bathroom was ideal, with the walk-in shower we had requested. They provided a hairdryer although I had taken my own. The only slight irritation was that, like so many other hotels, there was no mirror anywhere near a plug to see how you were drying your hair. Parking was available across the road and the hotel provided the necessary parking permit at a very reasonable cost, Very friendly staff and spotlessly clean. A wonderful hotel that we will use again."
