We enjoyed our stay at By the Sea. The owner Matthew was welcoming and friendly and helped us with our luggage to the top floor up two flights of stairs. The whole property was spotless and our room (no 6) was very comfortable with a sea view. The only inconvenience was that we had a bath with a handheld shower head for hair washing not for overall bathing. This was stated on the website, however, and I just hadn’t realised. Breakfast items had to be chosen the night before and there were hot and cold choices. Everything was nicely cooked on the day. I would have liked some preserves for the toast though as well as the butter on offer. Unfortunately there weren’t many restaurants in the vicinity but we did find one fairly near by along the prom which suited our purposes.

The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was excellent. The host, Matthew, was very accommodating.

This is a top level B&B. Only 6 rooms and Adult only. We stayed in room 3, which overlooked the street behind the hotel and was very quiet. The room was large enough for us and had a wardrobe with plenty of hangers, vanity unit with drawers and 2 bedside pedestals. The drinks tray was well stocked. Mattie was the perfect host, explaining everything on arrival. Breakfast was chosen the night before, and cooked fresh for your chosen time - delicious. 3 parking bays available behind the hotel, free street parking or paid car park a short walk £4 8am to 6pm (08/2024). Would definitely recommend. A great stay.

We had a fabulous stay. Matthew is a friendly and welcoming host. Room was a good size, as was the bathroom. Had everything we needed, was clean and comfy beds. Breakfast was 10/10, couldn't fault it! Good location, close to the beach, shops and public transport. Would love to stay again!

Terrific place with friendly hosts.

Excellent hospitality. Fantastic breakfast choices, great quality. Couldn’t be more happier with my stay.

Very good

We really enjoyed our stay at by the sea,room(4) with a view with a nice balcony,great breakfasts,would def recommend this place as service was 1st class from mathew and his mum,thanks again

Excellent place to stay. Property was clean fresh tidy and well looked after. Slept very well- bed was comfortable with little noise Location was ok with onsite parking which was good. Good Breakfast and personable owners, Would recommend.

Very clean traditional B&B, very friendly hosts, great choice of breakfast, parking on a first come basis but off street parking close by. Close to all amenities. would happily recommend By The Sea

Matthew was a great host. We had the balcony room at the front, which very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Great shower. Amazing breakfast options with a lovely cooked breakfast available.

Located on the sea front.close to the promenade.The room was good size with double bed wardrobe and ample storage for our stay. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was powerful. Due to social distancing restrictions breakfast was brought to your room you had a choice of 3 fillings plus hash browns and croissants and orange juice. There were ample supplies of tea/coffee in the room to cover out stay of 4 nights. Again, due to the social distancing restrictions we had limited interaction with the owner. But she was extremely helpful and pleasant. I would definitely stay here again

night away, great b and b... clean comfortable, and breakfast in the bag was brilliant

Nous étions contents de notre séjour. L’hôte est accueillant et chaleureux. La chambre est propre et spacieuse. Le petit-déjeuner copieux et très bon. Parfait !

Lovely room with window seat overlooking sea. Friendly host. Good cooked breakfast. Parking. The only negative was a bath instead if a shower but worth that sacrifice for the window seat.

The owners were extremely welcoming and accommodating . The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated . Breakfast was made to order ..... high quality & delicious . Actually . , their’s was the best breakfast I had during my 2 week stay in the UK. I would definitely use By The Sea again .

Great value b&b. Makes a change for a single room to be bigger than a broom cupboard! Recommended for a stay in Eastbourne!

Lovely property , exceptionly clean and tidy.Good selection at breakfast and tea and coffee board in room refilled daily. Free parking. Highly recommended

Very clean excellent breakfast and friendly owners.

Petite chambre, mais établissement propre, accueil sympathique et petit déjeuner soigné. A recommander pour un séjour court à proximité du front de mer et du Pier.
