Lovely place, clean and fresh room with heated blanket for those colder evenings, fresh and clean bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities in room well topped up and tv, free parking which is nice and private (although very tight if you have a large vehicle) and loads of choice at breakfast. Little gem of a place, and really good price, I only stayed one night but will definitely book again.

I’ve stayed here several time when going to a board game event nearby. I think it’s the best place to stay in Eastbourne. The staff are super nice and the rooms have a lovely cosy feel to them. The main areas of the hotel are decorated beautifully and the breakfast is tasty with lots of options.

Excellent stay at the Sheldon B&B. Nice comfy bed, good room amenities, blisteringly fast WiFi superb choice for breakfast. Nice and quiet area, parking to rear of place (headroom permitting). Well run place with friendly staff and owners, nothing bad to say, and very reasonably priced. When working down Eastbourne again, will defiantly book again.

Highly recommend

So pleased we choose to stay here. A real advantage having parking and it was so central to walk anywhere. Staff were extremely friendly and there was a lovely lounge to chill in if you wanted. We stayed in Room 10 that had a great comfortable king size bed but quite a small on suite which might be a problem for anyone quite large. The hotel is on a side street away from the traffic noise along the sea front. Breakfast was amazing, great idea of making your own cafeteria of coffee and cooked menu to order.

If I could rate it higher stars I would!! This is a fantastic place. The owner Steve was great - very helpful and accommodating. There were many breakfast options and the food was good. The decor in the building is very artsy and gorgeous. I got a good vibe from the place as soon as I walked in - very welcoming. It’s a 5 minute walk to the Eastbourne boardwalk and 5-10 minute walk into town. Good location. I would stay here again when in Eastbourne.
