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.

Cons:

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.
