Top Winchelsea Hotel Reviews

Majestic Hotel Eastbourne by Belvilla

10/10 Excellent

"Really pleased with my stay at The Majestic. The room was spacious, clean and had everything I needed, including great WiFi, a smart TV and tea and coffee facilities. The bed was very comfortable and the sea views were beautiful. Check-in was simple and hassle-free, and the whole stay was relaxing and enjoyable. I'd be happy to return in the future."

The Lookout Rye

8/10 Good

"As there had been a number of poor reviews recently it was with trepidation that we arrived in Rye Check in was quick and straightforward with helpful smiling staff Car was parked in the Hotel car park at a cost of £10 via Ringo app which although more expensive than any other car park in Rye had the convenience of being at the hotel The Hotel is looking tired and would benefit with a complete external refurb (as are many hotels in present climate), however the Rooms were clean, excellent walk in shower in spacious bathroom with excellent daily maintenance service Bed was very comfortable and room included coffee, tea (various varieties) and biscuits all topped up daily along with the large bottle of water Situated at the top of the town, whilst not offering a restaurant there are plenty of eateries/bars within a 10 min walk Breakfast is excellent including a continental, fruit, cereals, pastries as well as cooked breakfast to order This is the sister hotel to the well known George Hotel, 400 yards down the road and having stayed in both I have to admit the Lookout gives much better value and the room I had was better than that given at the George Although staff kept to a minimum all are helpful and cheerful"

Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay , this time for 2 nights. A warm friendly welcome at reception,quickly booked in and up too our room's. Good well appointed room , clean and comfy. Good food and service in the Martello bar. A great base for visiting Port Lympne animal park and exploring the local area with the added bonus of being a short walk to the seafront and Hythe Town centre."

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"A beautiful and spacious hotel if a little faded in places given its age. Excellent welcoming staff and a perfect breakfast."

The Relais Cooden Beach

8/10 Good

"Fabulous sea front room. Excellent restaurant serving a very good dinner and breakfast. A very pleasant overnight stay."

Flackley Ash Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Country house hotel set in beautiful grounds at Peasmarsh near Rye. We enjoyed our stay despite heavy rain. Cosy room looking out on lawn with bath, kettle (tea and coffee etc). Good WiFi. TV with Freeview. Very nice Pool, sauna and Jacuzzi. We did not eat at the hotel but did enjoy drinks in the comfortable bar. Ample parking. A hotel set in the country - good for exploring Rye, walking in the country and visiting Vineyards (Tillingham vineyard is close)"

The Chatsworth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Visiting a relative in Eastbourne, we booked the hotel based on its reviews, and we are so glad we did. With a great position, right on the sea front, with just a short walk to shops and restaurants. A beautiful building, built at the turn of the 20th century it had been completely refurbished, and re-opened in 2019. They have skilfully kept the best things, the 125 year old cage lift, the beautiful downstairs windows and other architectural details, whilst modernising the property in keeping with the original style. We loved the piano bar and the guest lounge. Our room on the top floor has a sea view, a very comfortable bed, coffee machine and tea-making facilities. The bathroom was ideal, with the walk-in shower we had requested. They provided a hairdryer although I had taken my own. The only slight irritation was that, like so many other hotels, there was no mirror anywhere near a plug to see how you were drying your hair. Parking was available across the road and the hotel provided the necessary parking permit at a very reasonable cost, Very friendly staff and spotlessly clean. A wonderful hotel that we will use again."

"Old hotel, well maintained and attentive stagf"
