The New England

"Have stayed in 4 hotels and B&B’s in Eastbourne and this is by far and away the best one I’ve stayed in. Victorian features, stain glass windows combined with a modern style. Breakfast choices were eggcelent with proper sausages and bacon, the “house” scrambled eggs was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was a bonus as that area of Eastbourne can be tricky to find spaces to park at night. Would definitely stay at The New England again."

Top Observatory Science Centre Hotel Reviews

The Relais Cooden Beach

4/10 Poor

"We booked The Relais Cooden beach via Expedia particularly for its location and spa facilities. We had booked the "Cosy double room" because that was all that was left. On arrival we tried to book spa treatments but there were no available bookings during our three night stay. This was disappointing as there was no mention on the Expedia website that you needed to book in advance. Apparently, guests who booked directly with the hotel enjoyed free use of the spa whereas booking through Expedia there was an additional charge which we had to pay. Also, spa shower not working. If all this had been clear on the website we wouldn't have booked. No lifts and no help to carry luggage. Whilst I accept the sq ft of our room is on the website, it really is a shock how small it is. For a single traveller it might be Ok but for a couple with luggage in my opinion it's not up to the standard of a 4 star hotel. If you are a couple then I strongly suggest you avoid this room. While some rooms have air conditioning, this room does not and it's very uncomfortable at night in hot weather. It would make a good cupboard. The location of the hotel is excellent but it is a bit out the way with no restaurants or bars in the immediate vicinity. Inside the hotel there is no specific bar/lounge area, just a pool room that could be utilised better. There is a lovely outside bar/restaurant area with sea views but the service is abysmal. Expect long waits to be served or get your bill."

The Olde Forge Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Stayed there for 2 nights,solo female traveller and 11 yo son, he's autistic, however ,I didn't tell the staff about his diagnosis as we always have hotel stays without any problems,on second night he was noisy around shower time started to meltdown which can happen when he is exhausted,was 9:30 pm, I had terrible knocking on the floor,few minutes later,the manager lady came to my door and practically was shouting at me to stop the noise, I was trying my best anyway to calm him down aiming to get him out of shower straight to bed, I don't mind getting notices for this, but the very unfriendly gesture of her made me feel terrible which never happened in many hotels we stayed before, he finally went to bed minutes after she left and was calm . Myself I will never go there again and advise any Sen child parents to think before they book there."

The Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Registration was cursory. Certainly not rude, just “fill in your details and here’s your key.” No offer of assistance for two seniors to carry suitcases up narrow stairs. No further information offered. Room was adequate. Shower is traditional British style - in a very high narrow tub, very dangerous for seniors in my opinion. Notice in room that no outside food allowed, and may result in an additional charge. Overall good value for money, but more of a two star than a three star hotel. "

The Stables at Boreham House

10/10 Excellent

"The property is lovely and separate from the mail house which is nice. The hosts are great and helped us out when we had to stay longer. As described and a great and relaxing boot hole. Particularly nice was milk in the fridge when we arrived for the available tea and coffee. A really nice touch!"

Cleavers Lyng - Guest house

10/10 Excellent

"If you're looking for a peaceful stay in a period country house then Cleavers Ling is the perfect place for you. Our bedroom was comfortable. The breakfast room, with its oak beams and inglenook fireplace set the scene for our host, Sally, to bring us full English breakfasts, (my eggs were poached to perfection). Tea from a large silver service tea pot poured without dripping on the linen tablecloth and the toast from the toast-rack rounded off the meal and set us up for the morning. We were also offered home made banana bread wrapped up for a mid day snack. All this made our three night stay....perfect. Thank you Sally!"
