Lovely location on Eastbourne seafront. Parking is available but we parked on the road outside easily ( low season, probably impossible in high season). Staff were exceptional, we arrived early as we were attending a memorial afternoon tea for my deceased FIL. Allowed us access to our room early so we could change (drove from North London). Nice vibe in hotel bar albeit very pricey (even by our London standards!) Afternoon tea was superb, staff were attentive and respectful. Food was wonderful and plentiful, one of the best afternoon tea's I've been to. Room was clean but small, bathroom very small but it is an old seafront building so they can only work with what they have got. Breakfast was lovely. Good selection of food. Overall very happy.
