We booked a couple of rooms for a family wedding at a venue close by. Overall, it was excellent value for money and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Rooms were lovely and quiet and the breakfast was great. Very happy.
Very nice little hotel with very nice and friendly staff. Close walk to the beach. A little hot in the room but to be expected in the summer. There was a fan in the room to cool it down a little. Slept very well.
Absolutely loved our overnight stay at this lovely hotel. The service was excellent, great communication and as for the breakfast, well that was simply delicious. A perfect night away and much needed. Thank you both x
The young man who checked us in was very polite and friendly. Our room was clean and the bathroom looked newly decorated. Breakfast was great - would certainly stay here again.
Great older property with lots of charm. The gentleman working the front desk was very helpful and kind. It was a bit warm on the top level (seasonably hot weather). but otherwise it was amazing, also lots of stairs to be aware of.
The location was great and easily walkable to the sea!
Lovely, comfortable room in an amazing property! Absolutely spotless throughout, good breakfast, and Raj was brilliant. Amazing service, so helpful & kind. We will definitely be coming back.
Great location, gorgeous hotel, incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Brilliant breakfast, banana bread and brownies. Our thanks to Laura and Rakesh for a most excellent stay!

Over night stay
Room was great, clean and ready a bit earlier than expected. Breakfast was really good.
What a cracking little hotel. Highly recommend as super friendly & personal service. Far better service than the bigger international chains . Breakfast was superb .
Newly refurbished with home made cakes and good quality breakfast. Very warm welcome and close to the seafront.
Very expensive at £95 for a a tiny en-suite single bedroom, up 6 flights of steps. Plus parking is £4 a night.
The room was clean and the hotel a short walk from The Leas and the beach front, I found the countertop bathroom sink was too high for me to wash my face in comfortably.
Definitely recommend The Relish. The location is great. Very close to the harbour and beach. Also close to Battle of Britain memorial.
It's very clean and Julia was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. I really enjoyed my 2 night stay here. Would stay again for sure. There was £3.30 daily charge to park on the street out front, which was convenient for me. The weather although great did not hinder my stay thankfully. Thank you to all the staff at The Relish.
