All of the cosy, traditionally furnished rooms at Beachy Rise Guest House include TVs and tea/coffee-making facilities. Rooms also feature free Wi-Fi access and hairdryers.

Our hotel's location opposite the seafront offers a delightful stroll up to Holywell, where you can savor tea and cake or marvel at the stunning views from Holywell to the top of Beachy Head. There are many other incredible nearby attractions, such as Seven Sisters, Cuckmere, Pevensey Castle, Bluebell Walk, and Abbots Wood, offering lengthy and picturesque walks for you and your furry companion. For those seeking shorter walks, we suggest visiting local parks such as Princes Park and Hampden Park, which are perfect for a leisurely stroll with your dog.

We had a great stay in this fabulous British hotel and with a great room with seaview. On our trip around the world we have came more times in Eastbourne, It's always great to come of course but romantic hotelroom adds value, that can't be denied. The bed was lovely, the choosen colors very warm and the balcony was spacious and the windows were just cleaned before our arrival so we had a great view on the boulevard. Breakfast was excellent. The bathroom was a place on it's own with all comfort that we needed and had super soft toiletpaper, something you don't see that often. Very nice. We highly recommend this hotel. Best regards, from Mr. and Mrs. C.U. Mings from Tightsqueeze, Virginia - USA

Attractively located in the centre of Eastbourne, The Majestic Hotel features Full English/Irish breakfast and free WiFi. This 3-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a business centre. Guests can have a drink at the bar.

From the start I had a lovely welcome at Reception. Got a better room which I appreciated a lot. Having had an accident that gave me more space. In the evening I got a heater to make the comfortable room even more cosy. And this morning,after a pleasant night,I was allowed to check out 1 hour later. I can highly recommend this Hotel to anyone. No doubt will I return. Many thanks for your kindness. Kind regards Martina

    Typical 2 star budget hotel, and rates reflected that. Lift was temperamental, but the room was fine. Shower very good, bed was comfortable TV worked, window opened, our room overlooked the sea Room 113. Nothing special, but suitable for our one nights stay. No breakfast in hotel but excellent cafe 5 minutes walk away to the left of hotel. Brilliant location opposite the pier. Parking in the street, but get voucher from hotel as its cheaper. Good budget stay.

    This is a budget Hotel , and for that reason it is very good. I booked 3 rooms and they were all clean, comfy, and had sea views. The twin had a Bath which was much appreciated. I would stay again for 1 or 2 nights ,with the Family, as it is easy ,and a good price. Breakfast is not fancy ,but adequate. Staff all very pleasant, especially the fellow on reception, who remembered me from our last one night stay.
