Room for improvement

Good room space, no signs of wear. Downstairs lounge and breakfast an added unexpected bonus. Lighting in room good. Chairs useful.

Freeview TV reception was awful. Nextdoor had to check us in as owner was called away. There were only 2 rooms occupied (us and another guest) and we both got put on the 2nd floor! No room servicing, no Xmas decorations, found a cake bar wrapper under the end of the bed, not enough hangers, mattress quite old/thin, no blackout on window, light in shower not working, shelf in shower useless, WiFi code in guest info in room wrong.

Great location and great base to explore

Great location, off street car parking

When we initially booked, the property was a bed & breakfast. It now no longer provides breakfast which is fine as we are used to self catering. However, sufficient breakfast bowls do need to be available each day. They were available for 2 out of 3 days. Otherwise, everything was great.

All in all a very disappointing break.

The people running the property were very friendly and helpful, and it was clean

The room was not serviced for the three days we were there, so tea bags and coffee werent replenished, although available in the lounge, but no English tea only speciality tea like Earl Grey or Camomile so landed up buying our own teabags more expense. Stairs were a bit dangerous as it is an old house, so the stairs are not straight up but with sharp bends so have to be very careful especially for elderly people. Didnt find out until too late to cancel that breakfasts werent provided anymore, were stopped a couple of weeks previously. Booked it as a B&B but ended up as just B !! so had to walk 20mins into Eastbourne to get breakfast which added more expense to our break.

Lovely stay

Great hosts Lovely breakfast Very clean Comfortable bed Great location

I understand that from August this G.H.eill be an express not serving breakfast , I think this would be a mistake the breakfast in the relaxed dining room was a great start to the day.

Very nice stay and hotel

Lovely location and a great view from the room. perfect for seeing Eastbourne and area. Breakfast was very nice, the scrambled eggs with tomato are excellent.

Pillows a bit flat and could do with refreshing, it would be well worth putting a fan in the room as if there is not a breeze it gets a bit hot

The breakfast was cold but a good variety . Just in the right location for me.

Very poor

Wouldnt recommend.

A few weeks before our stay we received an email explaining that the new owners had just taken over and they were unable to provide a cooked breakfast as the kitchen was being refurbed. We never heard any drilling or banging nor did we see any tradesmens vans. We had what we would loosely call a continental breakfast. The meat and cheese was not covered, which is basic hygiene. Not impressed.

We stayed for 4 nights. After the first night, our room had not been cleaned, we were told it was due to covid and no other places cleaned rooms which is rediculous. It was cleaned on subsequent days. The previous reviews were made when the previous owners were there. It states there is a car park, yes there is, but only 3 places are available.
