Hotels near Beachy Head in East Dean and Friston

We recently stayed at this beautiful historic hotel on Eastbourne’s stunning seafront. I cannot fault the quality of our stay. The hotel has been beautifully refurbished and is an oasis of peace and calm. The dining experience is exquisite and the delicious breakfasts are hearty and plentiful. The staff go out of their way to help and the rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. The views out to see are breathtaking. We’ve stayed in several hotels in Eastbourne but this one is our absolute favourite by far. We will be returning again and again. Thank you to all the lovely staff for our fantastic weekend.

This hotel is located mere moments from the seafront which is perfect for that peaceful getaway and walks along the seafront. I booked this hotel very last minute and at a low cost thanks to it being last minute and being a high member on a booking site - this was remarked the moment I arrived which I don’t think was polite etiquette other than that, the welcome was quite nice There is a very old lift here if you require it - I asked kindly for a room with a view if possible and they provided a room at the front of the top floor with views over the garden which was kind of them The room was small but nice enough, a kettle was provided but no tea/coffee which were available at reception! My issue with the place is the cleanliness, I walked into the room to an extremely long hair laying on the bed followed by numerous places in the bathroom and even under one of the coffee cups which is a further reason for the drop in rating

Very hard to find as it's just named Hotel. Not Halcyon. Small unassuming frontage white house converted. Carpets in reception and up stairs abyssmal Staff pleasant. Room was good but cold. Lovely view. Not much good if you arrive and it's getting dark and have to be up early for marathon. Had to ask for central heating to be put on which went off later. No extra blanket in room. Clock in room was lovely but wasn't working. Extremely expensive for one night. £172 ??expecting full breakfast, was continental, cheap cereals, days old croissants that were microwaved, cheap yoghurt. Things you'd tally pay peanuts for. I asked why it was so expensive I was told that's the price for that room. But when I was booking they had another room and was told it was also £170. Today it's £70???

Reception staff most unhelpful and not forthcoming with giving information. When booking I sent an email asking where we could eat with our dog that was booked in and paid for. I have no problem paying extra to take the dog but I do expect a reply, I didn't get one. When we checked in I asked again to be told that we could not have an evening meal as dogs were not allowed but we could have a light lunch menu or snack. Not what we wanted after travelling for 3.5 hours. We went somewhere else to eat. We asked about breakfast to be told we could eat in our bedroom or in the library. We opted for the library but it is very difficult and bad for the digestion to eat a hot breakfast on a lounge table, just the right height for the dog. We really did feel like outsiders. Dogs may be welcome but the owners are not. Must say the restaurant staff were lovely and I think they felt embarrassed about the whole thing. It would make it slightly better if they had a table the right height to eat.

Upon reading past reviews, we wasn't expecting much, we arrived on the first day of the hotel reopening, well, partial reopening, and must say, compared to the images online, the hotel is on another level, smarter, clean, lovely furnishings. We was the first in the room, first to use the new furniture, first to use the new really big smart tv. When we arrived, we was greeted by the Manager, Ashley, who explained everything so clearly to us, from what's happening in the hotel, what we booked, what we can do, and the local area. A little slow to start with, but wasn't his fault, apparently a new system was implemented and he was training another staff member, we was happy to wait as we did arrive the moment they reopened their doors. Also, the team are lovely, friendly and very accommodating, nothing was too little or too big. Breakfast was amazing, pastries, yoghurt, cheese, beverages, fruit etc, again we was hosted on by Ashley, and guess what.....we was checked out by Ashley too, smooth checkout, he asked us how our stay was and wished us a good day, what an asset he is, and such a friendly and funny gentleman. We will definitely recommend and return. Do not worry about negative reviews, we really enjoyed our stay here.
