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.

Pros:

Clean facilities, lovely shower, ,nice breakfast. Location just off the sea and main street.

Our room was at the back and it was quite noisy in the mornings. Not much to do around, high street like many others seems struggling.
