"clean room and the staff was very polite"

The Lansdowne, Eastbourne

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely hotel! We loved the different lounge rooms to relax in and plenty of games for children. My parents and my family stayed here with three kids for a family reunion. The location is good. Service is impeccable in the bar. We ate in the restaurant and overall it was nice but Tomahawk Pork was dry and vegetables were very oily. Also Fish of the day was overcooked. However, we were a party of ten and the other meals were excellent. We also had seaside afternoon tea which was fabulous! Would I stay here again? Absolutely. The communal rooms were lovely and comfortable. Kevin was an amazing evening host. Bar staff were amazing and friendly. Cleaning staff were friendly and accommodating. Eastbourne as a destination highly recommend! Our fist time and loved all it has to offer. "

Which area of Eastbourne Seafront is best to stay in for beaches?

The best areas to stay in Eastbourne Seafront for beaches are the central stretch around the Pier and Grand Parade, and the quieter eastern end towards Holywell.

The central seafront, encompassing Grand Parade and the area immediately surrounding Eastbourne Pier, is ideal for those who want direct access to the main pebble beach and all the traditional seaside activities. You'll find plenty of hotels right on the promenade, offering sea views and easy access to the beach. This area is also very convenient for families, as it's close to attractions like the Bandstand and the leisure facilities near the pier, meaning everything's just a short stroll away.

For a more peaceful beach experience, the Holywell area at the eastern end of the seafront is a good choice. This part of the beach is often less crowded and features beautiful chalk cliffs. It's particularly well-suited for couples looking for a relaxing break, with scenic walks along the South Downs Way starting right from the beach.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Eastbourne Seafront?

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Eastbourne Seafront is during July and August. These are the warmest months, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C, making them ideal for enjoying the beach and seaside promenade.

During this period, the seafront is bustling with activity, as visitors take advantage of the pleasant weather for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. It's also when many of Eastbourne's outdoor events and festivals are in full swing, offering entertainment for families and couples alike. Securing reservations for prime sea-view rooms and popular dining spots well in advance is highly recommended due to the high demand.

As another option, June presents a wonderful alternative. The weather is still very pleasant, with temperatures often in the high teens to low 20s, great for leisurely strolls along the pier or exploring the nearby South Downs National Park.

What beach activities should we do in Eastbourne Seafront?

The best beach activities to do in Eastbourne Seafront revolve around enjoying the expansive pebble beach, the iconic pier, and the lively promenade.

The main draw is Eastbourne's long, clean pebble beach, which stretches for miles. You can spend your days relaxing on the pebbles, taking in the sea air, or strolling along the water's edge. Many visitors enjoy paddling in the English Channel when the tide is out. It's also a popular spot for sunbathing, especially on warmer days.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
