Great location on a quiet stretch of the seafront. Staff were very helpful and attentive, and offered a nice range of breakfast options. Room was clean and well designed on the second floor with views of the south downs.
Where to start? Adri and The New England were amazing! Such a welcoming and gracious host - always remembering our names and so helpful. Breakfasts were amazing and we felt so at home. Adri even volunteered to do some laundry for us!! It was the best stay of our 3 week Ireland dnd UK vacation.
Adri was the best host I’ve had, checking in and being attentive and friendly. The breakfast was top notch for a bed and breakfast. It felt like staying with friends but having enough privacy as a hotel. I would stay here again and again.
Hotel was spotless throughout, including my room. Super friendly staff. Check in was straightforward. Breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Really friendly staff, great breakfast, nice premises
Have stayed in 4 hotels and B&B’s in Eastbourne and this is by far and away the best one I’ve stayed in. Victorian features, stain glass windows combined with a modern style. Breakfast choices were eggcelent with proper sausages and bacon, the “house” scrambled eggs was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was a bonus as that area of Eastbourne can be tricky to find spaces to park at night. Would definitely stay at The New England again.
Friendly staff, very clean, wonderful breakfast, perfect location for beach and shops. Would recommend.

Very friendly staff. Bedroom and bathroom clean and comfortable. Breakfast choice very good and well cooked. Walking distance from town, pier and promenade.
Lovely friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble.Great room and breakfast.We travelled by train and there was no need for a car as could walk everywhere.Would definitely stay again.
Very clean friendly and well
Kept hotel/B&B. Mattress was soft for my taste but no complaints. Breakfast was excellent with great service.
Highly recommended and lovely place to stay and I will definitely stay again.
The property, hosts and location made for a idealic short getaway from the city. We felt welcomed in a neat and joyous atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious and the entire team were so knowledgeable
Incredible, hard working and very responsive staff. Adri and her team make this place feel like a family home. Location is also prime, yet tucked away behind the pier so you get the quaint ambiance of Eastbourne and it's a bit quieter.
We had a wonderful stay at The new England hotel. Room was lovely and clean and the bed was very comfortable.
The staff were just amazing and so helpful with everything.
Breakfast was also very delicious.
We look foward to staying again soon.
We had a lovely 3 night stay at this Hotel.
We were greeted and looked after by a very friendly and caring host and staff. Breakfast was freshly cooked and there was a good menu. We had room 3 with a big balcony overlooking the promenade with sunshine from early morning to late afternoon. Hotel is spotlessly clean throughout. Thoroughly recommend.
