Sheldon Hotel

Having stayed in a dozen or more hotels and B&B’s in Eastbourne over the years, I can happily confirm that they are a mixed bag and this small hotel is amongst the best. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, and the hotel has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. It is spotlessly clean and the rooms are all bright and very comfortable, decorated in neutral colours enlivened by attractive modern artwork. There are specious lounge areas for those who wish to meet with friends, take advantage of the free WiFi, or read in quiet, comfortable surroundings — but most of the bedrooms also have easy chairs and satellite TV. Onsite parking is provided for all guests, which is a real bonus in this part of Eastbourne. And the breakfast… well that is superb — and very generous!
The sea, the shops and the theatres are all just short stroll away so, although you won’t have a sea view at The Sheldon, the location is close to perfect. It will be a regular bolt hole for me in future.
