between your toes. Listen to the waves. Our elegant, unspoilt<br />
seafront has a quintessential Victorian charm and is featured in the<br />
Good Beach Guide. It will uplift your soul and makes for the perfect<br />
seaside getaway. Skim a pebble, build a sandcastle, soak up the sun<br />
in your own deckchair – it’s all about life’s coastal pleasures.<br />

spectacular colour of the bloomin’ marvellous floral displays of<br />
our famous Carpet Gardens wash over you.<br />

take in the pretty twinkling lights along the<br />
front. Slip into one of the many beach side<br />
cafés and restaurants for a glass of wine or a<br />
cuppa (whichever you like!) and enjoy a perfect<br />
alfresco meal, or snuggle under a blanket on the<br />
cool pebbles and enjoy fresh, traditional fish and<br />
chips as the sun sets on a perfect day. Bliss!<br />

exquisite landscapes that make up the South Downs National Park. Feel<br />
at one with nature. Be revived as you explore the quiet valleys, ancient<br />
woodland, rolling hills and enchanting forests. Follow the undulating<br />
South Downs Way, a route of old tracks and drove ways along the ridge<br />
of the chalk downs between <strong>Eastbourne</strong> and Winchester and be<br />
captivated by its breath-taking natural beauty.<br />

remains. Take in the wonder of Beachy Head with<br />
its iconic red and white striped lighthouse, stand<br />
and gaze at the blooming yellow gorse, rich<br />
flower meadows and the meandering river at<br />

Hospitality<br />
OUR<br />
HIGH STANDARDS<br />
Every hotel, guest accommodation and self catering provider<br />
featured in this Guide has agreed to meet the stringent standards laid<br />
down by the <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Hospitality Association or has been quality<br />
assessed by either Quality in Tourism for Visit England or the AA.<br />
Prices shown in advertisements<br />
Rates shown are generally within a ‘from and to’ price range<br />
and usually reflect seasonal variations.<br />
Hotels and guest accommodation<br />
Prices indicated are per person based on two people sharing<br />
a standard twin bedded room (unless otherwise stated).<br />
Self catering<br />
Prices indicated are per unit, per week (unless otherwise stated).<br />
The small print<br />
The information contained in all advertisements has been supplied<br />
by individual accommodation providers. We recommend you confirm<br />
all details, prices, facilities, services and any special requirements<br />
prior to booking to ensure they meet your requirements as changes<br />
can occur. <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Borough Council (EBC), as publishers of<br />
this Guide, cannot enter into any disputes concerning tariffs or<br />
contractual disputes. If you need to cancel your booking you must let<br />
the accommodation provider know. A booking forms an immediate<br />
contract and cancellation fees may apply. Your contract is with the<br />
accommodation provider even if you have used Visit<strong>Eastbourne</strong>.com<br />
to assist with your booking.<br />
The information on these pages has been provided by the proprietors<br />
concerned and as such <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Borough Council (EBC) cannot<br />
accept responsibility for any errors or omissions.<br />
Ratings<br />
For serviced accommodation there are two schemes to show<br />
the quality, comfort, cleanliness, services and facilities of an<br />
accommodation provider. Within both of the hotel and guest<br />
accommodation schemes, you may find ‘Star Ratings’ (1-5 stars)<br />
which have been awarded by either the AA or Quality in Tourism for<br />
Visit England (if the hotel or guest accommodation has elected to join<br />
either scheme).<br />
Or, on smaller advertisements,<br />
these symbols are displayed:<br />
These star ratings are awarded by applying the quality standards<br />
for each scheme, which are different for each of the hotel and<br />
guest accommodation schemes, and are rated from one to five<br />
stars, with the more stars indicating the higher the quality.<br />
Visit England Gold & Silver Awards<br />
Quality in Tourism for Visit England Gold<br />
& Silver awards are given in recognition<br />
of exceptional quality and the ‘best of the<br />
best’ within a star rating regardless of the<br />
range of facilities and services they offer.<br />
AA Gold Star Award<br />
Awarded to the very best of guest accommodation<br />
within the 3, 4 and 5 star ratings.<br />
HOTELS<br />
Hotels are larger properties and are managed on a<br />
formal and structured basis. They must offer evening<br />
meals and be licensed to serve alcohol. As a minimum<br />
standard all rooms must be en-suite or have a private<br />
bathroom. They will normally have a fully manned<br />
reception and offer a fuller range of food, beverage and<br />
leisure facilities. Some hotels also offer entertainment.<br />
GUEST ACCOMMODATION<br />
Guest accommodation properties are often smaller<br />
than hotels with perhaps more of a family home feel and<br />
approach with a less structured service. They will often have<br />
the owners on site. They range from one or two bedroomed<br />
bed and breakfasts or medium sized town houses to larger<br />
guest houses, which offer similar services to hotels.<br />
SELF CATERING<br />
These establishments have been either quality assessed by<br />
Quality in Tourism for Visit England or the AA, or meet the<br />
standards set out by the <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Hospitality Association.<br />
All ratings are correct at time of print (Dec 2016) but are<br />
subject to change. Please contact assessing body to confirm<br />
grading status.<br />

National Park in the other, it is ideally located for exploring East Sussex either by<br />
car, foot or cycle. Retail therapy and an array of restaurants and pubs are also<br />

Explore the mysterious Redoubt Fortress.<br />
With daily tours and regular re-enactments,<br />
immerse yourself in the lives of the historical<br />
figures who once made up the fabric of this<br />
Napoleonic fortress. The vintage café is the<br />
perfect spot to refuel before visiting the free<br />

further along the seafront, to uncover the<br />
stories of life along the Seven Sisters over<br />
the past 8,000 years.<br />
#2 TOWNER GALLERY<br />

their itineraries! Our award-winning gallery<br />
is home to some 4,500 works including<br />
the largest body of work from artist Eric<br />
Ravilious. Book a tour or take a look behind<br />
the scenes. With some exciting exhibitions<br />
in <strong>2017</strong> including Ravilious & Co: The Pattern<br />

our free Heritage Trail. With pop-up history<br />
corners, the trail will take your group on a<br />
journey of discovery at special interest sites<br />
to the East of the Pier including the Royal<br />
Hippodrome Theatre, where an extra trap<br />
door had to be installed in the 1920’s to<br />
accommodate Harry Houdini’s performance!<br />
#4 EASTBOURNE BANDSTAND<br />
With a huge range of concerts and an<br />
extended season in <strong>2017</strong>, our 1930’s<br />
Bandstand is an iconic live music location<br />
perfect for groups. From traditional Silver<br />
Band afternoon concerts, the much loved<br />
1812 firework concerts to toe-tapping<br />
tributes and themed music evenings, there<br />
is something for every group including<br />
great discounts.<br />

dramas, tea dances, laugh-out-loud comedy<br />
and some famous faces from the world of<br />
music and dance, <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Theatres and<br />
our busy line-up of entertainment should be<br />
part of any group itinerary.<br />

Get your group on board this cute land<br />
train from Holywell beach to Sovereign<br />

in-between. Stop for ice-cream on the Pier,<br />
head to the Redoubt Fortress or have a group<br />
picnic at the breath-taking Holywell retreat.<br />
#7 WATER SPORTS<br />
Water babies can try a range of water sports<br />
to capture this truly beautiful destination<br />
from the sea. With taster sessions in paddle<br />
boarding, canoeing, windsurfing, kayaking<br />

One of <strong>Eastbourne</strong>’s best kept secrets,<br />
Sovereign Harbour and the Waterfront<br />
development is truly cosmopolitan. Climb<br />
aboard and learn about the harbour’s history<br />
and secrets. Go on a fishing trip or a sightseeing<br />
tour to the spectacular chalk cliffs<br />
and Beachy Head lighthouse. It’s a great spot<br />
for lunch or an evening meal too.<br />
#9 LUNCH WESTERN VIEW<br />
There are so many great eateries for groups<br />
but we simply love Western View with its<br />
bewitching beachfront setting and views to<br />
the South Downs National Park.<br />
