Second stay. I understand the property changed hands last year, so they are still in transition. I like the east of parking and it is a great location. Friendly hosts! But a few things looked broken and not as a clean as I would like.

Beachy Head Marathon weekend
We stayed last year in a similar room i.e. budget (which is very small!). Shower this year wasn't good (on the wall so couldn't take it off to wash properly). Also have to step up & in/out not ideal. Windows rattled along with door so would suggest windproofing/updating a bit. Tv socket very lose. Apart from carpets/rooms needing tlc & more room - the staff are amazing with excellent breakfast/choice/tea/coffee & very professional/friendly reception & staff. Location is very good! I also thought it was very pricey for 2 nights stay so will probably not return to this hotel again.

Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel, with friendly and helpful new owners. Great location, walking distance to the beach and local shops. Room in hotel was comfy, but in need of a refurb.Breakfast was plentiful,which was served between 8 and 9, a bit early we thought for a Sunday morning. Nice cooked breakfast, which was cooked to order. Would recommend this hotel and would come back again. The free car park was a bonus.

Staff were fantastic and friendly. Only issue was light in bathroom not working properly and not usable during stay - not fixed despite notifying and cleaning/breakfast staff checking each day if fixed. Room could have done with darker curtains too but appreciate that is more a personal preference

Welcoming hosts. CK probably adds to the rating somewhat ... : ) Excellent location. Easy to find, on site parking is easy enough to access. Quiet, comfortable, secure. Just what was needed for my short stay
CK wins this B & B extra points!

Nice place. Very clean. Free parking and close enough to everything. The only issues were that I booked a double bed room and it was 2 singles pushed together which didnt attatch in any way. So not a double bed. Also the shower trap wasn't cleaned out so the bottom of shower filled with water.

Great value for money and hosts highly accommodating. Clean, spacious and bright rooms. Close to tennis, theatre, shopping & sea-front. Just if there for more than 1 night, bring your own toiletries as only a tiny bar of soap provided.

Good stay at the Sheldon
I admit to initially being sorry I had booked the Sheldon after being told there was absolutely no chance of booking-in prior to 3pm and reading that the doors would be closed until then (I booked almost a year in advance and at that time a small charge could be paid for early check-in), especially as we had a limited amount of time to freshen up and travel to a wedding reception for 4pm! On arrival the doors were closed but were opened and happily we were allowed to check-in about 20 minutes early. Owner was kind enough to find needle and thread for me for which I was extremely grateful. Our room was clean and comfortable, wi-fi good. Almost useless tiny heart shaped soap was the only toiletry provided. Breakfast was fabulous and the free on-site parking and closeness to the pier a real bonus

The hotel is in good location for the beach and town centre. The room was quite small even for single it looked quite outdated. The shower could have been better in terms of power.
