Eastbourne B&Bs from £29

Mile after mile of stunning coastline remains the primary draw to Eastbourne, which deliver awe-inspiring panoramic views, a glimpse of the past at the Sovereign Harbour and a wonderful dose of modern culture at the city's countless theatres and galleries. Topped off with incredibly easy access to the stunning South Downs countryside surrounding the city, is your traditional English seaside town - and then some!

Those not so in love with standard British weather conditions can relax in the knowledge that Eastbourne is said to be the sunniest spot in the country - unofficially, of course, that makes it great for outdoor pursuits, including hiking along the trails that cross the spectacular South Downs. For something a little more high-octane, there's stock-car racing every Wednesday evening during the summer, and an extreme sports festival once a year, and championship dinghy sailing.

You'll find our best value deals at The Berkeley Guest House (B&B) from just £35 per night, or The Sheldon, which offers 20 rooms from just £41 to £160 a night with great reviews (average review score of 10.0/10). You could book The Mowbray (Bed and Breakfast), with rates from £41 per night, or how about The Ellesmere (Bed & Breakfast), with 15 rooms from £39!
