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.

Good hotel with a good location

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. Ate in the restaurant and the food was very good with a good choice . Overall the hotel ticked all our boxes and we would certainly stay there again on our next trip

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.

Lovely quiet spot by the beach, for a newly refurbished hotel it was a bit tired in places, having just one menu lunch and dinner was disappointing if you want more than two meals. Coronation chicken sandwich and fresh fish specials were excellent.

Mixed feelings Staff all seemed lovely… really liked the bathroom, view, and we were upgraded and thank god we were… its soooo noisy heard way more from next door than wanted and the extractor was uber loud and the doors.. extra loud. nothing would have been resolved by complaining…. and i feel we had a great room just a very noisy place. Breakfast team were sweet and the selection was plentiful.. what a location though…

Perfect escape to the sea highly recommend a visit

Lovely get away stunning views was so nice to sit outside on the Terrace having a cream tea whilst looking at the sea. Best ever vegan cream tea I highly recommend! Staff friendly and accommodating. Room had beautiful views over the sea. Could walk straight onto the beach from hotel. Nice quiet location. Perfect to get away from if all. We didn’t use the spa but would love to next time.
