This is a top level B&B. Only 6 rooms and Adult only. We stayed in room 3, which overlooked the street behind the hotel and was very quiet. The room was large enough for us and had a wardrobe with plenty of hangers, vanity unit with drawers and 2 bedside pedestals. The drinks tray was well stocked. Mattie was the perfect host, explaining everything on arrival. Breakfast was chosen the night before, and cooked fresh for your chosen time - delicious. 3 parking bays available behind the hotel, free street parking or paid car park a short walk £4 8am to 6pm (08/2024). Would definitely recommend. A great stay.

Clean and cosy

Our stay was perfect. Rooms were clean. The owner even recommended us places to go on our way back. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place to stay but easy access to places like Brighton, Seven Sister's cliff and many more. Parking space was easily available.

We enjoyed our stay at By the Sea. The owner Matthew was welcoming and friendly and helped us with our luggage to the top floor up two flights of stairs. The whole property was spotless and our room (no 6) was very comfortable with a sea view. The only inconvenience was that we had a bath with a handheld shower head for hair washing not for overall bathing. This was stated on the website, however, and I just hadn’t realised. Breakfast items had to be chosen the night before and there were hot and cold choices. Everything was nicely cooked on the day. I would have liked some preserves for the toast though as well as the butter on offer. Unfortunately there weren’t many restaurants in the vicinity but we did find one fairly near by along the prom which suited our purposes.

Located on the sea front.close to the promenade.The room was good size with double bed wardrobe and ample storage for our stay. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was powerful. Due to social distancing restrictions breakfast was brought to your room you had a choice of 3 fillings plus hash browns and croissants and orange juice. There were ample supplies of tea/coffee in the room to cover out stay of 4 nights. Again, due to the social distancing restrictions we had limited interaction with the owner. But she was extremely helpful and pleasant. I would definitely stay here again

Lovely room with window seat overlooking sea. Friendly host. Good cooked breakfast. Parking. The only negative was a bath instead if a shower but worth that sacrifice for the window seat.
