On Eastbourne seafront, Ebor Lodge offers well-appointed rooms and a full breakfast menu. This East Sussex guest house has free Wi-Fi and is within 15 minutes’ walk of the Royal Hippodrome Theatre and the town’s 1930s bandstand.

Wonderful location at the start of the Marine Parade. The owner was very helpful and gave us a restaurant recommendation. The fitting room was comfortable, as was the bed. I would definitely stay at Ebor Lodge again!

All rooms at Beach Front are en suite with a shower, and many enjoy beautiful sea views. In addition, all rooms have a flat-screen TV, free WiFi and tea and coffee making facilities.

The location is perfect! Rooms are clean. Staffs are kind and friendly. Breakfast is good. It was one of the best places we stayed so far. We did not stay in a room with sea view, but you can definitely consider a room with view. The view of hotel is remarkable!

Rooms are air-conditioned and many have stunning views across the English Channel. All have bathrooms with bath and shower. TVs, hairdryers and WiFi are also provided.

With stunning sea views, the View Hotel Restaurant serves tasty, traditional English food in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Parking was easy and cheap, only £2 for 24 hours. We liked the size of the room, the airco, coffee/tea facilities, the cleanliness, the big televisionscreen, the breakfast and the late check out time in the weekend. The location was nice, by the sea and nearby the towncentre.

    Lovely communal areas good interior design. Nicely decorated for Christmas. Staff friendly and helpful. Clearly had an up grade on my room as it was huge and had a sea view which I didn’t ask for or pay for. Can’t rate this hotel more highly.

    An Inn with a boutique hotel feel. A buzzy atmosphere in the bar and very welcoming, helpful staff. Bedroom quite small but brilliant design in bathroom of wardrobe and ironing board. Coffee and tea making facilities all excellent. Good position for walking by the sea. Very good restaurant and sensibly priced breakfast if required. Would definitely stay again.
