Book NowEndless blue skies, sweeping countryside, three miles of pristine palm-lined promenade, glorious seafront gardens, the elegant art-deco inspired bandstand and the iconic Victorian Pier combine to make Eastbourne the perfect seaside escape. Nestled between the historic 1066 Castle and the magnificent South Downs National Park there is so much more to explore. We'll visit Brighton, one of Britain's liveliest cities where you can soak up the bohemian and eccentric atmosphere of the narrow alleways of the Lanes or explore the extraordinary Royal Pavilion, King George IV's seaside fantasy Palace. Then step back in time at romantic Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn where two prayer books inscribed by the King Henry VIII's ill-fated second wife form part of a beautiful historic collection.
In a whitewashed 19th-century property, this lovely hotel opposite the beach is a 5 minute walk from Redoubt Fortress & Military Museum, and a 10 minute walk from Eastbourne Pier. The modern, airy rooms range from traditional to more contemporary in style and include en suite bathrooms, free WIFI, TV's and tea and coffee making facilities.
