Exactlywhat we needed.
Pros:

It was a little oasis, beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and the location meant it was a short walk to the Del A Warr Pavilion for us.

Bexhill stay.
Pros:

Lovely hosts and exceptional room (number 2) with great facilities. The breakfast was of a high standard. The location is near the sea front and just a 5 - 10 mins walk from / to the station and local shops. Great base from where to explore other coastal places and historic locations.

Cons:

The window blinds did not work or were set to limit use.
