Upon arrival we had a very warm welcome from Chris and Caroline. They took time to advise us about a few good restaurants in the area, things that we could do in the day. Chris kindly took our bag up to the first floor for us, something that doesn’t happen very often in other establishments we’ve stayed in. Our room (room 6) was spacious and immaculate. We both had a full English breakfast which was delicious. Thank you both for a lovely, relaxing stay. Kate and Stuart

Perfect couples getaway
Booked this with my girlfriend for an overnight stay near the coast. Cant reccomend highly enough. Chris and Christine were so friendly and helpful, and made our stay great. The room was a great size, came with all the necessary things for a stay, and a really comfortable bed! Breakfast was fantastic with a good selection, and the location meant we were within a 5 minute walk of the beach. Would really recommend to anyone wanting a stay in Eastbourne.

I had a warm welcome from the owners, who were very helpful in suggesting a choice of restaurants within a 5/10 min walk. The whole property is presented to a high standard. My room was spacious and very comfortable and had recently been tastefully decorated. Excellent choice of breakfast all freshly prepared and presented to a very high standard and very tasty too!

Excellent hosts who ensured that your stay was comfortable, professionally managed, but above all, friendly.

We would thoroughly recommend this venue for all the foregoing reasons and access to sea front, shops and railway station. Just excellent.

Eastbourne 2 night break
Very friendly place to stay. Car parking on the street at £2 per day, easy to arrange with owners. Hotel centrally located (for theatre, station, tennis, shops, pier, restaurants) so didn't have to move the car. Was able to leave our cases before check-in time. Hotel very clean and comfortable, we will definitely return. Cooked breakfast very good. Lots of good local information including money off map.

What a beautiful place Caroline and Chris were wonderful and very welcoming,they also gave us lots recommendation's for eating out ,playing golf etc .. ..We had room 10 with the free standing bath, it was an amazing room and worth walking up all the stairs to get to it .. The breakfast was so fresh (cooked to order) ,good quality ingredients with lots of choice .. There was nothing we didn't like about this place and could have happily stayed longer .. If your going to stay in Eastbourne choose Ravilious because you will not be disappointed. We can't wait to return ..
Really comfortable bed

Bathroom with a huge shower if you don't fancy the bath
Soap etc smelt beautiful with lots of little touches left in the bathroom . Shower caps,little sewing box and vanity box of needed
