Great hotel right on the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful, and food at the restaurant was great (we had breakfast, lunch and dinner over 2 days). Small spa area which was a nice treat after a days cycling! Our room was on the small side but it was perfectly fine for a short stay (and the bathroom was big!) Would recommend!

I sent my Carer “Niki” (me, now with Parkinson’s), on a restful week’s break. She told me and I can confirm having stayed at the same, excellent ‘Relais Cooden Beach Hotel and Spa' (two years previously with my beloved late Wife, Pamela), this IS a really lovely and well-organised Hotel. With very easy access to beautiful Bexhill, Hastings, Eastbourne and Brighton by the ADJOINING Cooden Beach (Southern Railway) Station. There is a Spa (of course) and delicious food from the 'motor-racing’ inspired Restaurant. Very worthwhile visit.
