Highly Recommend

We had a lovely time at 17 Wilmington Square. The room was very comfortable with crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. There was a well appointed en suite and everything you could possible need for your stay, and more. Breakfasts were fresh, healthy and delicious, served by a friendly and helpful team. Highly recommended.

Excellent B&B run by lovely people

Lovely B&B, perfect location, 100 yards to beach, near restaurants, very dog friendly, Janine and Tony, the hosts, and their team, could not be more accommodating and friendly. Rooms were extremely comfortable,spacious and quiet. Breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked to order. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Eastbourne. Parking is on street but they sell you permits for £2 per day on arrival which allow you to park in street directly outside or anywhere along the sea front. We were here for Jubilee weekend so very busy but we were lucky with the parking.
