Did not have a clue as to what was available for breakfast with3 different prices at the reception desk£16 on the tv in the room £15 and at the restaurant £22. Extra charge to use the spa facilities @£30 per person. We enquired about the cost per kilo watt on the Ev charger in car park, which they had no idea having checked online it was .69p per unit so cheaper to run on petrol. No atmosphere to curl up with a book when wet or cold, and generally a sad lack of interest from staff within the hotel. The reception desk is very unwelcoming and in general I would rather have gone to a premier inn. Very expensive accommodation that lacks a lot of detail.

Clean and comfortable hotel near beach

This is a clean and comfortable hotel on the outskirts of Bexhill, with easy access to the beach. Friendly staff. Car parking (note that some of it is behind the hotel). Minor gripes? £4.20 for a mint tea is a tad expensive. The 'sea view' from our room was slightly disappointing - the view was partly obscured to the right by a wall. However, overall this was a pleasant stay, and we would return.

Lovely hotel with great position overlooking the sea. All staff were very helpful and friendly and service was good. Room was very clean, quiet and had everything we needed.

I'm sad I only stayed for one night. I stayed in a single room and it was such a peaceful night's sleep. The shower was great and the room was spacious and had everything I needed. Beautiful location on the seafront and the breakfast buffet was fab with plenty of healthy or classic choices.
