The perfect little place to stay in Bexhill
Pros:

The location was fantastic less than a minute’s walk from the seafront. The room decor was elegant and cosy and kept in immaculate condition. Owners very friendly and the full English breakfast in the morning very nicely done. Highly recommended.

Cons:

The view was not that good but didn’t matter as so close to the sea

It was a perfect stay and such a warm welcome!
Pros:

The interiors were beautiful and it was so clean! And the welcome was so lovely. The breakfast was fantastic. It honestly was a perfect stay!
The added bonus is that it is a stroll away from the sea front, what more can you need?

Cons:

Although it looks a little lost on the high street the interiors instantly take you away from the noise and you feel transported. It’s a perfect little address if you’re visiting the area or down for a Wedding/event.

Pros:

Couldn't fault it at all.. very clean, everything was as the pictures show, perfect position close to sea front, off road parking permit included, lovely breakfast..top marks

Cons:

Only that the stairs can be hard with suitcases (we where on top floor) but that is just the type of building & nothing the owners could do about it...only a very small point to be aware of..
