Beachfront guesthouse with sea views and complimentary homemade cakes
Location
Seaview Sanctuary is located directly on the beachfront in Eastbourne, 200 meters from Eastbourne Beach and 1 km from Eastbourne Pier. The guesthouse sits on a lively street opposite the seafront, providing expansive sea views from the property. Free street parking is available nearby, and a bus stop outside the door offers connections to Bexhill and Hastings via the 99 bus service.
Accommodation
Select rooms at Seaview Sanctuary include private balconies with sea views and bistro table seating. Each room features a private bathroom with free toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and an electric kettle with tea and coffee supplies. Rooms also contain a mini fridge with bottled water and fresh milk, and some units have external private shower rooms for added privacy.
Amenities
Every afternoon, the hosts provide complimentary homemade cakes, cookies, and pastries in the conservatory, available for guests to enjoy with tea or coffee. Outdoor furniture on the balcony and in the conservatory allows guests to take in the coastal breeze. Luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and bicycle parking are also offered on-site.
Nearby Attractions
Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway Adventure Park is 3.5 km from the guesthouse, and Glyndebourne Opera House is 26 km away. Brighton Marina lies within driving distance, and the Seven Sisters white cliffs are accessible by local bus. The property is a 10-15 minute walk along the promenade to Eastbourne town centre and the pier.
Dining
A continental breakfast basket is available on request, delivered to the room. The conservatory is stocked with tea, coffee, and hot chocolate for guests throughout the day. Local pubs and restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, and a Sainsbury's Local is a 5-minute walk for groceries.
“In my opinion, this is a beachfront guesthouse with balconies that capture Eastbourne's coastal charm; it's also near the pier and local attractions, perfect for seaside exploring. The hosts impress me with their warmth, and I noticed little details like homemade cakes for guests, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. A stay here suggests relaxation with genuine hospitality.”
