Gladwyn Hotel, Eastbourne

The Gladwyn Eastbourne offers ten comfortable ensuite rooms including a family room so that families are more than welcome. We are also pet friendly so well behaved pets are welcome to accompany their owners. As always, your comfort and safety are paramount to us and we remain proud of our achievements.

The rooms have all been recently refurbished and redecorated making use of a number of unique themes and imaginative colour schemes. You will also find some very nice original art work around the building. The public areas are all wi fi enabled (at no additional charge) so you can bring your laptop if you cannot be parted from your email facility.

On the ground floor is the resident's lounge (with full licensed facilities) and downstairs you will find a large breakfast room which comfortably seats twenty five people....but please don't all come down to breakfast at the same time. The Gladwyn is ideally situated opposite Devonshire Park and just around the corner from the Devonshire Theatre, the Congress Theatre and the Winter Gardens. We are a short walk to the town's shops and the beach.

DINING ROOM:

The dining room comfortably seats 28 people ...which is more than the number of bed spaces in the place - how many establishments can make that boast??? Breakfast is served between 8.00am and 9.30am although we are always grateful of some hint of when you night be coming down to eat!!!

THE LOUNGE:

The lounge is tastefully decorated with pictures collected from our travels around the world. The lounge also houses our own licensed bar which serves a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages at very reasonable prices. Central to the lounge is our latest acquisition - a 24 candle chandelier ..... which is now on a dimmer switch following complaints from the neighbouring lighthouse at Beachy Head.

ABOUT EASTBOURNE:

Eastbourne is known as the Sunshine Coast, and living here it is easy to understand why. We have a protected climate, as we are in a 10 mile bay from Beachy Head in the west, to Hastings in the east. On the landward side we have the South Downs, so snow is a rarity, a mild climate the norm, and wild winter seas with nature at its interesting.

Eastbourne is ideal for the short break, or for longer, and any time of the year. It is perfect for families, sporting visitors, theatregoers, golfers, walkers, and all ages. It also offers good dining choices with excellent local beers. For families, there is the Victorian pier, short boat trips to Beachy Head, two local adventure playgrounds, one of which is under cover, a good choice of fish and chip shops, a train that runs along the seafront to a timetable, and everything to make the youngsters tired but happy. Drusillas Family Zoo is only a 15 minute drive away, and a full day can be spent here.

For the sporting and golfing visitors, there are tennis championships, fishing trips, and excellent local golf courses. As a complimentary extra, when golfers stay with us we arrange their rounds at the Eastbourne Downs Golf Club, and provide them with transport to and from the Club, without charge. We have four theatres, three of which stay open throughout the year. Top touring productions can be seen, as well as performers who are known internationally and within the U.K. The prices are reasonable, and we can easily purchase tickets for Guests.

For walkers, Eastbourne is at the eastern end of the South Downs Way, starting with Beachy Head. The views are simply awesome, and there is a bus service to aid the stroller who does not want to undertake long walks. Seven Sisters, Birling Gap, all follow on from Beachy Head, and are not onerous walks. Here at Loriston we are very close to The Marine pub, which serves excellent home cooked food in their non-smoking restaurant. We are lucky that we also have the Dolphin fish and chip restaurant at the end of our road, and we also have Chinese, Thai, Indian and Tex/Mex restaurants within an easy stroll.
