"We had a lovely stay in the Beacon View accommodation. It has a back deck with a superb view so we were disappointed it rained for the whole time lol. Perfect spot for exploring the South Downs National Park, or hopping to Lewes, or like us a day trip to Drusillas Zoo...."

"Some of the furniture in the room was slightly old fashioned but it was very clean and tidy and suited us perfectly as a family of 3.
We were provided with tea and coffee making products and there was cutlery and a table and chairs to eat in the room, if necessary.
The breakfast was nice and the host was friendly and kind.
We would stay here again ☺️"

"A very lovely B&B with great location, beautiful room, wonderful hosting from Karen and team and best breakfast I've had in years. Over three days, the breakfast was perfect. The bed too is probably the most comfortable bed i can remember ever
The Host gives great, heartfelt advice which is super helpful."

"Beautiful building. Needs updating. Room was big but the bathroom was not up to standard for a 5 star hotel eg water pressure was low, the shower units were dated, no separate shower. Perfect lication. Parking available on a first serve as basis unless you pay £25 for a guaranteed parking per night. Indoor pool was okay but the pressure in the jacuzzi was not strong. Only one steam room and no sauna. Breakfast time was bit hit and miss and had to wait anling time to receive our cooked breakfast. Food at the restaurants was good but pricey given the sane food is a fraction of the price outside. We had scaffolding outside our room as there were building works being carried out and we were not told about this at the time of booking. A bit disappointed about this. Beware, not all rooms have air conditioning. The superior rooms only have a/c and more expensive. Not much by way of activities at the hotel in the evenings. All in all I would say its a 4 star at best. Perhaps once the place is renovated to high standard then it will be a 5 star."
"This review isn’t a reflection of the staff, who were friendly and enthusiastic throughout. In fact, I wasn’t planning to leave one until the hotel’s dog policy completely changed my mind.
If you want a cheap stay and can tolerate the quirks of a tired 3-star hotel, this place is fine. But if you expect much more, you’ll be disappointed.
The biggest issue was the dog charge. When booking, it was advertised as £10 per night, but at check-in we were suddenly told it was £20 per dog, per night. One of our nights cost £68, meaning nearly a 30% surcharge just for bringing a dog. No bed, treats, bowls or extras were provided, and rooms aren’t even serviced daily unless requested, so it felt like pure “guest tax.” After some back and forth they honoured the original £10, but only after insisting it had always been £20. That alone is why this is a 1-star review.
Other issues:
Lift broken the entire stay on the 3rd floor
Champagne ordered for the room never arrived
Wonky floors and damaged walls left unattended
Broken ceiling light and blocked shower tray
The evening entertainment felt awkwardly empty, and while the afternoon tea was good value, the setting didn’t match the experience it was trying to create. The staff were lovely and doing their best.
Ultimately, this hotel needs investment and attention from ownership. The staff can only do so much. With the recent BHGroup acquisition, hopefully improvements come soon. But for now, I’d suggest spending that extra £20 elsewhere."
"Couldn’t fault the people. The bathroom will need a refurb soon.
The only hotel where I have stayed recently to find the soap dispenser doesn’t fall apart when depressed!"
"The hotel was stunning, with an antique elevator and wonderful staff who upgraded my room to a full sea view suite!
the bed was so comfy and ginormous, and the bath was incredible. The whole place was super clean and modern.
I will say, the room is showing signs of wear. Orange (tan?) stains on the marble, bubbling wallpaper under the mirror over the sink and marks on the paintwork, but none of this could take away from the immaculately clean room and gorgeous bed."
"I was very disappointed with my stay at the Best Western in Eastbourne. The hotel feels very outdated and poorly maintained. There was no air conditioning in the room, only a small fan, which was uncomfortable especially during warmer weather.
The room itself looked tired, with old carpets and paint peeling off in places. The bed was made from metal tubes and felt unstable and shaky every time I moved. The mattress was also very old and even stitched in some areas, which did not feel hygienic or comfortable.
Breakfast was very basic and not particularly enjoyable.
Overall, the hotel did not meet my expectations and certainly did not feel good value for money. I would not choose to stay there again."
"Lovely small, well-maintained hotel in the heart of medieval Rye. Comfy room, great bed. Nice staff. With shout out to Brendan who went the extra e to help return some valuable property we’d left in our room. Even walked the package to the postal office to send it on to us in London. Thanks! Great stay."
"The reception staff were helpful and very nice, we have stayed at this hotel many times and no to take bottles of water whilst in room, I do feel though that at least 2 bottles should be provided it’s not a budget price hotel, the bath plug was blocked which we did inform the reception at check out for future guests ."
