Excellent stay at the Sheldon B&B. Nice comfy bed, good room amenities, blisteringly fast WiFi superb choice for breakfast. Nice and quiet area, parking to rear of place (headroom permitting). Well run place with friendly staff and owners, nothing bad to say, and very reasonably priced. When working down Eastbourne again, will defiantly book again.

Highly recommend

So pleased we choose to stay here. A real advantage having parking and it was so central to walk anywhere. Staff were extremely friendly and there was a lovely lounge to chill in if you wanted. We stayed in Room 10 that had a great comfortable king size bed but quite a small on suite which might be a problem for anyone quite large. The hotel is on a side street away from the traffic noise along the sea front. Breakfast was amazing, great idea of making your own cafeteria of coffee and cooked menu to order.

If I could rate it higher stars I would!! This is a fantastic place. The owner Steve was great - very helpful and accommodating. There were many breakfast options and the food was good. The decor in the building is very artsy and gorgeous. I got a good vibe from the place as soon as I walked in - very welcoming. It’s a 5 minute walk to the Eastbourne boardwalk and 5-10 minute walk into town. Good location. I would stay here again when in Eastbourne.

The hosts were very welcoming and we had an enjoyable time. It was good to have an allocated parking area off the street, the breakfast was excellent and plentiful, and we were made to feel at home. My only slight criticism was that my second-floor room's shower pressure was rather feeble - perhaps affected by the altitude! I will certainly consider staying here again if I return to Eastbourne.
