    Extremely helpful staff, particularly nice views of the ocean, everything is superb. The hotel serves a continental breakfast. The setting is perfect and excellent, very close to promenade, the gardens which were beautiful and tranquil and the beach and shopping centers. Also, it's 1 km from Lewes Priory Park.

    The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for my needs, with easy access to the beach for morning walks. I appreciated the continental breakfast provided, which was a great start to the day. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and I felt very well taken care of during my stay.

    The cleaning staff were a bit too eager to enter my room before check out time. I had only stepped out for a few minutes and they had already gone in and left the cleaning brook outside my door.

    We loved the cleanliness, convenient location to the seafront, and the delicious breakfast provided at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and we were able to easily walk to shopping and dining areas. Additionally, the outdoor pool and garden area were lovely for relaxing in the sun.

    Nothing not to love.

    I had a wonderful stay at a cozy beach-side retreat. The location was perfect, with stunning ocean views from my quiet and spotlessly clean room. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating, making sure that all my requests were taken care of. The continental breakfast nook was a delightful touch, and the bathtub with bubble bath and bath salts added a touch of luxury to my stay. The proximity to the beach allowed for relaxing walks in the morning and evenings, making my business trip feel like a mini vacation. I highly recommend this hotel for its beautiful setting and creature comforts.

    the location was perfect, with easy access to the beach, shopping, and dining. the accommodations were tastefully furnished and provided a stunning view of the ocean and garden. the friendly and welcoming hosts, Ina and her partner, ensured that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. the rooms were well-equipped with everything I needed and the continental breakfast and bath amenities were a nice touch. the house was always kept clean and the staff were friendly. The pool and garden area were also wonderful for unwinding and soaking up the sun. Cons: Everything was fantastic! 😊.

    We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, as it was just a short walk to the beach and to a highly recommended local restaurant. We felt safe and at ease walking around the area. The room itself was spacious, clean, and had a lovely sea view. The continental breakfast provided each day was a great way to start our mornings. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, providing us with useful information about the area and even recommending the use of Uber for transportation. We also appreciated the daily restocking of the fridge with breakfast items. a fantastic experience.

    We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient hotel.
