A huge hotel right near the pier. Wonderful views. No aircon so the rooms and hallways were hot and stuffy. They put a fan in the room for us though but as it was a big room it wasn't that effective. Delays on check in as rooms weren't ready. Glad there was a place to put our bags, we went for a walk while waiting to for the room to be cleaned. The room was very clean as was the bathroom. The finish in the bathroom was a bit messy but as I said, it was clean. Breakfast selection very good. Lots of guests so I'm pleased they regularly topped items up. Nice bar with great aircon to relax in. We also ate in there, the pie and vegetable curry were lovely. Staff are very busy and on the whole friendly apart from one incident where my husband was snapped at, but he received an apology and a complimentary drink. Dog friendly. Comfortable bed. Good selection of drinks and a kettle and coffee machine in the room. Hairdryer available. Nice room, furniture and decor. Table and chairs for sitting at the window at night looking out to sea. I would visit again.

Airbourne - as a resident, it is one of the defining moments of summer in the town. I know it’s not particularly ‘green’ but heritage is something we must salute and remember. I’d imagine it takes a fair amount of energy to build a new plane today, so making use of the old ones, and celebrating the current ones is far greener than showing new boats on the water every season… it’s something I’m happy to live with. I have a son and daughter in their twenties, he wasn’t able to make it this year and has regretted it, my daughter and her boyfriend attended two of the days and enjoyed it immensely! They used to watch as children and loved it (although the Harrier was a tad too scary for them when it dipped it’s nose to them on the beach, and yes, we miss the Harrier and Vulcan).
It really is a big part of Eastbourne and, in my view, should remain. Even in these trying times…

I was lucky enough to see part of Friday's display from the South Downs, and most of Saturday's displays from the sealant. What a fabulous show it was! I'm sure it provides a big boost to Eastbourne businesses as well as being a wonderful spectacle for those lucky enough to see it. I'm already looking forward to Airborne 2023.

I went to Airborne on the Saturday this year. I have never seen so many people on Eastbourne seafront in my time here living in Polegate. The atmosphere was tremendous , no trouble as far as I saw. Sat on the beach with a picnic. Talking to lots of people and generally having a terrific time. I enjoyed it this year more than any other.

My first year living in Eastbourne and first attending an airshow. Really enjoyed it including the red arrows flying over my house. Family stayed over to come to the show and we had a great day out. Marked down as I feel the provision for disabled people could be improved so people can book spaces in advance and limited to 1 or 2 days only so others can get spaces.

Airbourne gets better and better! What an amazing show! So well organised, with something for everyone. Despite the huge crowds, the atmosphere was friendly and enthusiastic. I was lucky enough to be in the Aviator Club enjoying the hospitality and being on the front line for the displays. Well done to all those involved!

It was so wonderful to see Eastbourne’s Airbourne return, following the pandemic. Thanks to The Rotarians, the local Charity I work with, Children With Cancer Fund, were lucky enough to be Sovereign Harbours’s Rotary Club “Charity of the Year”. This will be an enormous boost to our awareness and provide much needed funds for our families. We were based on the Western Lawns and saw for ourselves how joyous this event is for local residents and holiday makers alike. The air displays were awesome and no one tires of seeing The Red Arrows. It is huge event to put on, but brings much needed revenue to the Town. Thank you to the Eastbourne Council events team, Hoteliers, all the litter collectors and people who make this the Towns best annual event. Helen
