Nothing to mention

Location was superb-residential but walkable to restaurants and on West side of Eastbourne which suited us. Lovely coastal walks within a few minutes drive and parking available. Lovely cotton bedding and towels, quality furnishings and all comforts in room -even sweets and biscuits! Hosts were wonderfully welcoming, informative and did everything they could to please. Superb breakfasts.

We love absolutely everything! This was the best B&B we've ever stayed in the UK. Breakfast is very good and delicious. John & Anne are incredible people, extremely kind and available for any information you need. Absolutely marvellous! We highly recommend this B&B.

Ann and John were exceptional hosts! We felt welcomed and we'll looked after our entire trip :) the room was beautiful with a very comfortable bed and everything we could have wanted. Honestly, we won't consider staying anywhere else when we're in Eastbourne again!

I had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to return. The room was beautiful and the bedroom and bathroom were sparkling clean. Everything you need and more - yummy biscuits, bottled water and fresh milk in the fridge (which I really appreciated as long life milk tastes awful in my opinion). The breakfast was delicious- a wide range of cereals including home made muesli and granola (yum), fruit and yoghurt, lots of choice for cooked breakfast also. And of course toast with John’s yummy homemade jam and marmalade. I was made to feel so welcome. Thank you!!

Nothing, except that the toilet in the room we stayed was difficult to flush at times, but Anne did say the bathroom is getting an upgrade very soon. This was a minor issue, nothing to complain about.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Manse! John and Anne were very welcoming, friendly and are happy to cater to your individual needs. Breakfast was lovely, with nice choices. Fruit available was delicious as was the cooked breakfasts. Anne and John are very accomodating with any dietary requirements. Very friendly atmosphere, with lots of tips on best places to visit etc. Lots of printed maps available to borrow, whether you decide to explore locally or further afield. Cant wait to return! Thank you John and Anne!

Nothing. But maybe not for you if you want hot tubs and a sea view.

Beautiful Edwardian house with period detail, quiet area, but only ten minutes on foot from restaurants and station. Lovely, helpful hosts, fresh fruit for breakfast, home-made muesli and granola, as well as varied cooked breakfasts. Comfortable bed in spacious bedroom, excellent shower--what's not to like?

John and Anne really did go out of their way to make us feel very welcome. Their attention to detail was faultless, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The house itself was beautiful and full of character.

The Art Deco features made it special. It was spacious and light. The bedroom had a little seating area with 2 armchairs as well as a four poster bed. There was nothing lacking in what was provided. The hosts were friendly, polite, kind and accommodating. The breakfasts were great with homemade granola, muesli, jams and marmalade. Cooked breakfast was also very good.

Beautiful house with lovely comfortable rooms and fantastic hosts. We were very well looked after and will definitely book again if we visit Eastbourne. Great quiet location, about 20 minute walk from the beach.

I booked the room for other family members who were coming over from Auzzie for my Daughter's wedding. This B&B was very close to the Gildredge Manor where the wedding was being held. So location was perfect. My Brother in law and his wife stayed here and were delighted with the B&B. My Brother in Law was a senior manager in a large hospitiality group and very fussy. He and his wife said that they would have no hesitation in staying at the Manse again when they re-visit - HIGH PRAISE !!

Nothing negative whatsoever.

The Manse is perfect in every way. Annie and John are fantastic hosts, ensuring you have the best stay possible. The superking room I stayed in with my partner was stunning, as was the rest of the house. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and all furnishings and furniture were top quality. Having fresh milk and bottled water in a fridge was a bonus, as were the yummy biscuits and chocolates, left each day. InkThe room itself was enormous, as was the bathroom. Everywhere was scrupulously clean, bright and delightful. There were lots of information leaflets and Annie and John were very knowledgeable about places to visit. The breakfasts were delicious, with lots of choice. As previously mentioned by other guests, both the homemade muesli and granola were particularly tasty; as were the homemade preserves. Parking was never a problem either, as there were always spaces directly outside, with no restrictions whatsoever. The town centre took about ten minutes to walk into and the seafront, fifteen. I could wax lyrical about this sumptuous bed and breakfast for a very long time but, suffice it to say, it was perfect in every way and Annie and John are two of the nicest, friendliest people we have ever met. I cannot recommend The Manse highly enough. 5 star accommodation, run by 5 star hosts. Thank you both so much.
