I was surprised with the twin room. The location was stunning and fantastic, not far from restaurant, the conservatory which had a very good menu and excellant proportions of food and the bay and the town. Particularly helpful folks in the traditional manner by the serving stuff.
The room had not very good views.

Everything was very good and met standards. Sincerely, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay at a wedding fair. The location was particularly good, not far from the christal restaurant, and the conservatory overlooking a lovely lawn and near an art gallery and a theatre. Furthermore, it was a 10-15 minute walking distance from an Eastbourne pier.

Possibly the best and very enjoyable short stay for three nights to take in our wedding anniversary plus a boost before stem cell replacement treatment for my husband. Nicely decorated unit with crisp bed linen. Handy and comfortable location, down to a very large Conservatory looking towards the sea. Also - short walk to The Conservatory restaurant overlooking the waterfront, and the receptions areas and the resting areas.
