A 4-storey villa dating back to 1882, St Benedict - Victorian Bed and Breakfast embraces a 19th-century theme, with characterful period details and retaining its original Victorian layout. This St Leonards guest house offers free parking and Wi-Fi, and serves a country house-style full English breakfast.

With authentic furnishings of the era, guest rooms at St Benedict have a comfortable double bed and tea and coffee facilities. Each has a private external bathroom with a roll-top bath. We are great lovers of Arts & Crafts, William Morris in particular. The house and garden are incredible tributes to the late 19th century. It was like living in another time, a museum of sorts. It was a most magical stay. The decor! And the hosts are wonderful. Alexander is charming, warm and enthusiastic. We had great conversations. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. We will return to Hastings just for the privilege of staying in this house. Thank you!!

On Eastbourne seafront, Ebor Lodge offers well-appointed rooms and a full breakfast menu. This East Sussex guest house has free Wi-Fi and is within 15 minutes’ walk of the Royal Hippodrome Theatre and the town’s 1930s bandstand. What an incredible place to stay. The host was very welcoming and exceptionally helpful. There was a great choice of cooked breakfast options including scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. We had a front room, I think it was room three which was large with a bay window and a great view out the window. There were several free parking bays over the road which we used. You can't reserve them. The room was spotlessly clean and the whole lodge was beautifully decorated. Thanks for a great stay. I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

This boutique hotel is located in the village of Ticehurst in East Sussex. Bell In Ticehurst offers guests the choice between In-House Rooms, Garden Rooms, and Lodges within and around an old coaching inn. Charming hotel and a very cosy bar and dining area. Food excellent. We stayed in the Spa suite which is quirky and had the best biscuits ever. Will return when it’s warmer to use the tub outside. Staff super friendly and helpful.
