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.

This was our first time in Bexhill and the Driftwood hotel was a very pleasant surprise. Lee and Greg are fantastic hosts, very friendly and their breakfasts are amazing. Our bedroom was very clean and comfortable. Thank you very much to both of them.

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.

Exceptional, and the most delicious French toast
Pros:

Everything - exceptional quality throughout. Fixtures, fittings, accessories, food, linen.
Couldn’t find a speck of dust or cobweb anywhere.
I am very well travel but this is the best hotel I have stayed in.

Cons:

Stairs. I am wearing a leg brace and there is no lift.

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.
