“What stood out was the dedication to creating a welcoming environment, particularly for families, near Eastbourne's cultural heart and seafront; plus, the morning meal seems a highlight with homemade marmalade. The Victorian townhouse setting adds to the charm, placing it steps from theatres and dining. It's a thoughtfully managed spot.”

good and super clean stay
super clean bathroom comfortable bed friendly staff
my teenage daughter and i spent three nights. our room had a large, well-kept bed, a window sofa, and two armchairs. the bathroom was super clean (i am very ocd!). breakfast each morning was great and the staff, especially ben and the ladies preparing the food, were pleasant. i plan to return and recommended this place.
despite assurances, our room's location near the front door caused constant disturbances from guests. the inner front door key needed a wiggle to work (we learned this from the owner).
