Families can expect a warm welcome at this funky B&B, set just back from
the seafront in increasingly cosmopolitan Eastbourne, not least because its
friendly owners have two tots themselves. Carl and Sarah moved to the
fabulously proportioned Regency terrace from London in 2009 and now have a young son and baby daughter.
Their insight into life with tots in tow is reflected in the handy list of baby
and toddler gear provided (see Fast facts) and in the design of the six
fabulously well-equipped guest suites, all of which have space for a
cot/toddler bed and several with double futons, as well as standard double
beds. Best of all, each suite has its own mini kitchen complete with fridge, hob, oven,
sink, microwave, kettle, toaster and pots and pans - perfect for making and storing bottle
feeds or cooking light meals. As most parents will testify, being able to knock
up your own breakfasts and avoiding an early morning rush to herd everyone into
getting up, washed and dressed before traipsing into a communal breakfast room,
is a huge boost to relaxation in itself. Although, early risers can take up the
option of continental breakfast served downstairs if they prefer.
Parents will also appreciate the little touches that make this award-wining B&B a cut
above the norm. The in-room TV/DVD players and free WiFi are handy for early
morning or pre-bed entertainment, whilst the hairdryer, fluffy white towels,
toiletries, selection of complimentaryt eas, coffees, biscuits, chocolates and
sweets in placed in each of the suites makes a stay feel a little more indulgent.
Plus, those who remember to bring their baby monitors can often enjoy a
bit of downtime, perhaps a takeaway and a bottle of wine, in the
communal dining room whilst little ones settle to sleep. However, its
worth noting that only monitors with good range will be likely to work
from suites on the top floors. The first floor suites should be fine.
Suite 6
Suite six is set on the top (third) floor and, stairs aside, is great for larger families since, with the king-sized double, futon and a fold-out bed, it can sleep 4-5. It is the biggest suite and well worth the climb upstairs to reach it! Spacious and airy
with a side sea view.
The kitchen is the largest of the six and has a table and
chairs with seating for four, so is great for self catering.
The bathroom has a large shower (baby bath provided). There's a TV/DVD player, hairdryer, iron, fluffy white towels,
toiletries and selection of complimentary teas, coffees, biscuits, chocolates
and sweets.

Eastbourne may once have been nicknamed 'Costa Geriatrica' but the growth and popularity of the university has seen the elegant south coast town undergo something of a renaissance with sophisticated nightlife, restaurants and shopping becoming an increasingly common feature. Added to that, the huge stretch of sand and shingle beach, Victorian pier with classic amusements and a modern indoor fun pool, makes it a great spot for a good old fashioned British break by the sea.
Guesthouse East has a prime location within a short stroll of the beach, promenade, pier and indoor fun pool, along with the tacky delights of Treasure Island - a must for would-be pirates! One of the town's best regarded fish and chip shops is just around the corner and, if babysitting has been pre-booked, a meal at the Mirabelle bistro within the Grand Hotel comes highly recommended. For those with the stamina, there are some fairly decent late night bars and clubs too; Guesthouse East's owners recommend The Loft, Hudsons and Bibendum.
Further
afield, a great family day out can be had at highly regarded Drusilla's
Wildlife Park, which recently won best attraction in the South of England. Or
for a long lazy lunch, try the picture perfect Tiger Inn at East Dean, which
has had praised heaped on its food, setting and atmosphere by the likes of The
Times and Observer. the thatched pub sits on a village green, so there's plenty
of space to let little ones burn off steam whilst enjoying the food.
Nearest Medical Services: Eastbourne Hospital with full range of hospital services, including A&E – 5 minute drive. Pharmacy / GP – Bolton Road – 3 minutes walk
