Perfect. Stayed before, would stay again.
Pros:

The room we stayed in was beautiful. Lots of lovely touches, including 3 fans, which was brilliant, given the heatwave. The room overlooked the garden, which was very pretty at night. Windows so sound proof the seagulls didn’t wake us, and the blind so blackout we didn’t know it was morning. Bathroom newly furnished. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, the breakfast delicious. Even cold beers in the fridge on our arrival.

Cons:

There is nothing I would change.

Wonderful hotel and I would definitely come again
Pros:

Sublime et intimiste hôtel, impeccable et paisible, jouit d'une situation idéale. Situé à seulement deux minutes du célèbre centre architectural De La Warr, et à dix minutes de la gare routière accessible. Les hôtes, chaleureux et attentionnés, proposent un choix généreux de petits-déjeuners savoureux. Bexhill-sur-Mer se révèle être une station balnéaire propre, calme et reposante, bordée de plages pittoresques et soignées.
