“This Victorian hotel in Eastbourne offers a traditional seaside vacation, particularly for families drawn to its seafront location and proximity to attractions like the Eastbourne Pier. While some aspects of the hotel require updates, its historic character and organized social activities contribute to a pleasant stay. I think the value lies in its blend of affordability and prime location for enjoying the beach and local entertainment.”
