Overlooking the beach and within easy walking distance of the town centre and pier, this AA 4-star character property has been welcoming guests to Eastbourne for over 170 years. One of Eastbourne’s original old ‘sea houses’, the dog-friendly Royal has recently undergone a complete renovation to provide comfortable, modern accommodation with free Wi-Fi throughout and flat-screen TVs. The building’s original features have been retained. Bathrooms feature heated towel rails, shaver points, fluffy white towels and complimentary Duck Island toiletries. Start each day with a healthy, fresh breakfast in the airy breakfast room. Choose from real ground coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, a selection of organic yoghurts, cereals, homemade breads and jams. No English breakfasts are served. Soya milk is available.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
