"Historic premises in the cinque port town of Winchelsea where we stayed for two nights. Hosts and staff most accommodating and friendly. Good food and comfortable en suite room. Church opposite well worth a look.

"We wanted quiet, peaceful, beautiful, unique and considerate and that’s what we got. To be woken up by pheasants and lambs, dinner at The Plough, logs being burnt inside and out and amazing views and walks… it was all there."

"I cannot fault the room at all we had the family room. So clean and the furnishings were lovely. Bed was super comfortable. Communication from the premises was spot-on. Explained everything about checking in which was so easy. Didn’t sample the food in the pub downstairs however it smelt amazing. "

"The room was compact but very comfortable. It was spotless and very well appointed, with a hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, and even a standing fan. The location is perfect, close to everything you might need. The pub downstairs serves great food too. Even though it's above a pub, there was no noise at all, and I slept very well. Definitely a room for a solo traveller though! "

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne
10/10 Excellent
"This is an impressive grand old hotel with professional, friendly staff. We really enjoyed its position on the seafront and its two pools.
However, parts of the hotel are very dated and staff were overwhelmed at breakfast, which meant service was slow and detracted from overall experience.
The bed was too soft and pillows old and flat. The bathroom was a museum piece! For these reasons, we felt it was very overpriced.It needs alot of money spending on it to modernise it."
"The restaurant was lovely and they had a great chef with imaginative ideas. We loved our evening meal at a reasonable price. Several lounge areas and a bar to sit quietly with a drink and a book.very good value hotel. Thankyou. "
"I’ve got to say the service was 10/10 and I think it was the assistant manager who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and got everything they needed, will definitely be going back "
"We stayed here for two nights -- and I wish I was there for a week! Beautiful boutque resort right on the water.. incredibly friendly staff, good food options -- nothing beat the view or the patio overlooking the shore. Rooms were clean, beds were incredibly comfortable. "
"Situated in a good position within walking distance off all the Town's attractions.
Excellent Breakfasts, set you up for the day.
The room was clean and comfortable with good en-suite
bathroom, with shower.
Would use again on next visit."
"Very comfortable night at the Sheldon B&B. Single room on 2nd floor with en-suite shower. Tea and coffee available in the room.
Staff extremely helpful and friendly.
Excellent breakfast.
Easy walk to promenade. "
"Close to everything! Easy walking distance from the train station, minutes from the town centre and beach. My daughter and I have stayed here twice now and we had the same twin room, which is perfect to crash after crazy golf, fun in the sea, shopping and dining! The receptionist was nice and polite, and although we didn’t eat or drink at the hotel I could see a good selection of beverages behind the bar, and the breakfast room looked nice. For the price, this is a great option for a budget getaway. We will come to stay again, thank you!"
"5 star run hotel. Clean welcoming staff always happy to help.
Management have gone over and above to help me with any questions regarding my stay with them. Room is very clean modern and spacious. Good supply of tea etc. Great accessible location. I will definitely book again."
"I've had a very pleasant day the staff were very helpful and friendly.
Breakfast and evening meal in the hotel with just what I wanted great choice nothing was overdone cooking wise.
The location for the hotel with just what I needed short walk from the town.
Hotel does have entertainment in the evenings and it's great to hear a good singer.
Many times before and we'll definitely stay there again."
"A beautiful property with quaint gardens within the grounds. Room was for four of us, we had a double bed and a bunk. It was a small room but perfect for us. Bright, airy, and clean with an ensuite shower. Breakfast was included and was a great selection of hot, fresh fruit, cereals with coffee and juices. Would definitely come back and wholeheartedly recommended."
"A really lovely place to stay, a perfect quiet and very pretty little village. The pub owners and bar staff were very welcoming and made a wonderful breakfast, and we had dinner there one night too which was fab!"
"Fabulous location. Helpful staff. Very historic. Took dog who was allowed in room and terrace only. The lounges were empty and it would have been nice to access those. Breakfast was nice too. "
"Friendly, helpful staff, nicely decorated, clean and roomy bedroom, large comfortable bed and nice pillows, tea and coffee facilities. Easy access to Eastbourne seafront. "
"A wow as you walk through the front door !
Two spacious lounges full of antiques with an African touch.
An afternoon tea room so delightfully set out , gorgeous!
Bedroom clean with a very comfortable bed.
Internet access was great 👍

"Great place to spend a few days, the room was excellent, spacious and clean and the staff were always happy to help with any questions as we had 2 children with us. Would happily stay here again, thanks Osbourne Apartments."
"Really friendly welcome at reception and we quickly got our keys for two twin rooms. The rooms were fine, clean and comfortable.
We used the hotel to stay overnight before a Channel Tunnel crossing which was just 10 minutes away.
It was the cheapest hotel that I could find in the area and exceeded my expectations. The decor was improved from the hotel's appearance on Channel 4's "4 In A Bed" a few years previous.
Slightly disappointed that they don't offer breakfast, but Gingers in Hythe was excellent.
