“What stands out here is the blend of Victorian architecture and individually designed rooms, creating distinct, artistic spaces; the family-run atmosphere adds a personal touch, while the quiet location is still a short walk from Eastbourne's town center and beachfront. I especially appreciate the attention to breakfast, with its focus on locally sourced ingredients and varied options. It's a spot that impresses with its charm and thoughtful hospitality.”
