The Seaview, East Preston

Attractive small hotel in a quiet location and very close to the beach. Rooms are small but well appointed with all that one needs. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Car park is tight so not for nervous drivers! Breakfast is freshly cooked but limited choice - more fruit would be nice! The dining area (outdoors in nice weather) gets very busy and lively - a good sign but can be a little noisy - but not late in the evening. Recommended.

This is a small hotel close to the beachfront in a quiet location - just a 3 minute stroll to the pebble beach with good swimming and sand at low tide. The rooms are well appointed but quite small. There is a lively outside restaurant which is well patronised. The breakfast is a la carte, varied and freshly cooked but with a limited range. The car park is tight but convenient. The staff were friendly and welcoming and helpful at all times. An enjoyable stay and recommended.

Very comfortable room above a very nice pub. Friendly, helpful staff and a delicious breakfast.

Really nice stay, nice place and the only real thing that spoilt it was the pastries available in the morning were clearly leftover from the night before. The standards elsewhere were so high it just took the edge off it

Great location. Inflexible menu on the day so had to eat elsewhere no accommodation La were made for us. Clean room But many hairs in the bedding inbetween mattress protector or bottom sheet. Attention to detail would be worthwhile and signs on other guests doors to ask them to be mind full not letting doors slam in the morning would be helpful.

The parking is limited. The food in the restaurant is outstanding and all the staff are lovely.

Great stay thanks

The room was small but the bed very comfortable. Decent breakfast and a busy bar. Car park is far too small and tight.

Food good bar had goog variety of drinks

For past 5 years we have visited my parents and now my mother only, 4 times a year from US. When the Lamb in Angmering has been unable to accommodate us they recommended Seaview. As a change up we tended to try to stay at other hotels in the area once a year away from the Lamb. The first time we found room 1 with a partial ( really partial) sea view to be very small and we were constantly moving around the bed. After a comment to the housekeeper they showed us Room 2. We booked room 2 online on a subsequent visit which is described as a courtyard view. We stayed in room 2 and found it was a touch noisy as it was above the main entrance and like room 1 overlooked the car park but not too disturbing. To our third visit we again booked online believe it to be Room 2 to find it was room 5 which also has courtyard description but in truth overlooks the yard that deliveries are made, the dumpsters, the kitchen and propane tanks. We obviously tried to change and that was not met with any success. Room 5 is extremely hot and very small. We listened to the kitchen staff banter from breakfast till late into the evening. We were woken by the prior night recycle being dumped at 6 am along with beer keg deliveries. We had a reservation for Seaview booked for January thinking it would be quiet but after this experience we have cancelled that. The staff we would say do the job but we found no recognition that we were current or returning guests to the establishment. No warmth

Absolutely ok location and room/pub. Room and area (Stable rooms, not main building) had a distinctive smell....a bit like a cheap aftershave!...otherwise ok. Breakfast was also ok, not outstanding, but very much what you'd expect from a "chain" establishment. Overall reasonable value for money.

Small hotel in a residential area close to the beach. Very modern, clean and spacious bar and outside seating area. The room was small but not cramped and was furnished in keeping with the hotels decor. There was a birthday party taking place in the evening but the staff were quietly efficient and spent an appropriate time to check us in. If there is a downside it has to be the car park. It’s small and very awkward to navigate when full - 7 spaces in two separate areas. Not however a reason to ignore this exceptional hotel.

Everyone was friendly lovely property.Had problem with shower fixed immediately. Just a bit worrying water was sclading hot, and left on that setting. It was easily sorted by staff. Very accommodating,lovely outside seating area. Would stay again

A lovely pub/reataurant with rooms. We stayed in ‘The Apartment’ that sleeps up to six people, with two bedrooms and fully equipped kitchen. Four of us stayed comfortably and we will definitely stay here again. We had dinner and breakfast there, the food was lovely, and service second to none. It’s a great location, literally on the beach and has parking. Really friemdly, attentive staff who couldn’t do enough to help. They have live music events and the vibe in the bar area is good. A great find, and would highly recommended.

First impression: very good. Off-street parking was available very close to the entrance. Check-in was at the bar in a modern bar/restaurant which was quiet and inviting, and I was soon shown to my room. The evening meal was excellent, with a couple of pints of a local ale. Food service ended at 8.30pm but that suited me fine. The bar/restaurant remained a quiet place, to be expected on a mid-week evening in November. My room had a good-sized double bed, but no other furniture apart from small bedside tables and the tea/coffee station. To watch the suspended TV therefore you had to sit on the bed; at least I found a use for the 4 cushions placed on the bed, in addition to the pillows. The room would not have been great if I had wanted to write, or use a laptop; a couple would easily get in each other's way. The ensuite shower-room was of very small dimensions. I am of medium build: the shower was just about large enough for me. The basin was really only OK for washing hands; its small size demanded you spit accurately when cleaning your teeth. However it also prevented sitting straight when using the toilet, which was raised up on a kind of step making it feel slightly awkward. During the night I was conscious of a persistent humming noise. I could not tell if this was from inside or outside the building, but I found it affected the quality of my sleep. In the morning, full English breakfast was superb, and checking out was quick and efficient with the friendly staff.

We had great fun at The Seaview. We were told new owners bought it several years ago and completely gutted and renewed it and it shows. Very tastefully done. And the staff were very friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Carlo who made us feel very welcome and had a great personality.

Charming property just steps from the beach in a very quiet and dog-loving seaside town. Our room (3) was wonderful (Hints for large switch outside bath to turn on shower, and use outlet switch to turn on TV, would be good) and the restaurant served a delicious dinner with great chats. This is a gem on the busy south coast and is walkable for the town.

The rooms are small but completely renovated and very clean. The rooms above the restaurants are a little noisy. Missing small things like tissues and face clothes ( face flannel). Parking is limited and an issue given the small road leading to hotel. The service is very friendly and very efficient.The food is good but for a change the villages has a great breakfast place and pub.

Lovely bright modern place to stay. Very close to beach. Friendly welcoming staff. Good food. Nothing negative to report.
