The Devonia hotel is a lovely clean hotel , well run by Carolyn Jane and her husband , breakfast was lovely , rooms are well equipped , literally over the road from the beach , quiet area , would probably benefit from using a car if not a great walker as it is a fair distance from the town centre if walking , good bus network though aswell

Fabulous
What a little gem, the accommodation was perfect on the sea front and a number of rooms with sea views. Carolyn & Terry were wonderful hosts nothing was too much trouble and breakfast was amazing. We stayed 2 extra nights & although we changed rooms to a smaller room at the back it was still comfortable with excellent facilities. Would definitely stay again.

The bed and breakfast suited us very well as we had planned to do a lot of walking on the South Downs Way so the location was excellent. The breakfast was cooked to order and thus was very tasty. If one needed a bonus to make the stay more enjoyable we found a super Italian restaurant called “Rostick”. Great!!!

Very pleasantly surprised
Couldn't be more pleased. Friendly owners, good food and comfortable room and bed. My single room was on the 2nd floor with no lift, but it wasn't a problem for me. The walk into town is about a mile, but is mostly along the sea front with great views. Eastbourne is a lovely resort and has something for everyone.

The B&B is older like many of the houses on the street. The room had an old and musty odour that would not dissipate when the windows were opened. Parking was the large challenge. They have a small parking area that fills quickly. The surrounding streets, although offer free parking, is quite regularly full. Wifi is barely available in public areas and not at all in rooms. Location is great however. Right near the beach and walk-able to the local restaurants and pubs. Host was super friendly.

This b&b is a little way out of town about a twenty min walk, parking only for three vehicles, breakfast ok albeit a small piece of plastic was on the plate, top of coffee pots was dirty and salt and pepper pots could do with replacing. Host was nice and helpful, personally wouldn't stay there again

Was upgraded to king with balcony. Very comfortable bed. Lovely room with sea view. Tea coffee and biscuits. Cooked breakfast of your choice. Only negative Points I had was the towels very small (not bath sheets or robes ) also could smell stale cigarettes in hall way but not in room. My room was clean and pleasant . Would stay again.

Typisch englisches Guesthouse mit gutem Frühstück
Wir hatten Zimmer mit Meerblick gebucht. Die Zimmer waren mit einfachen Möbel ausgestattet. Dennoch angenehmes Ambiente. Das Meer ist ca. 80 m entfernt zu sehen. Ordentlicher Duschstrahl für englishe Verhältnisse. In unserem Bad waren -wie sehr oft in England- getrennte Hähne für kaltes und warmes Wasser eingebaut. Der Wasseraustritt beim Kaltwasserhahn war ca. 1,5 cm von der Waschbeckenrückwand entfernt. Hände waschen unter fließendem Wasser war somit nur eingschränkt möglich. Die Zimmerreinigung war zufriedenstellen. Bei Bedarf jeden Tag frische Handtücher. Ansonsten nette Wirtin, die sich beim Frühstück um die Gäste kümmert. Bei voller Auslastung ist manchmal etwas Geduld erforderlich.
