I came for two nights on my own just to walk and 'chill'. What better place than the Burlington. Well situated for buses up the coast and for an early trip round the pier before breakfast. I felt comfy, well fed, safe and very content. After a long days walking -away from family, washing gardening etc- to sit in bed watching TV with a glass of Prosecco was a delight. The sound of the waves and the gulls in the early morning was very relaxing too. Also amazing weather which is always a bonus. It is very good value for money.

6 family members booked this hotel throught Shearings...I was the one with a few reservations, having never done a "Coach Trip"...I was completely blown away with the level of service.
Boarded our coach in Preston, handed our luggage over, and was welcomed on board. Our cases were not seen again until we got to our room at the hotel, where they were waiting for us after check in. Excellent service.
The room had been recently refurbed, as all the rooms are, some are still having work done on them, but most have had clean contemporary furniture installed. Decent sized bathroom with bath and overhead shower, beautiful white fluffy towels, plus little soaps too.
Comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities, and the tea and coffee was replenished every morning too, the bed linen was crisp, clean and eye poppingly white.
The food in the hotel was of a good standard, especially the breakfast. Self service, but if any of the older guests needed assistance, the lovely staff were always around to carry plates and juices to your table.
The choice at breakfast was exceptional, cereals, porridge, juices, yoghurts, hash browns, sausage, bacon, eggs, (fried and scrambled) tomatoes, and the chef also would cook to order, kippers, poached eggs or ham...very impressed. Tea and coffee served by your waiter too. Toast, jams, marmalades and butter also.
Evening meals were waiter served, menu on tables, choice of 4 items per course, and a chef's special too.Iced water always on offer throughout your meal, and tea and coffee served to you at the coffee stop....so everything anyone could need. The food was of a good standard, the pate was scrummy, as was the cheesecake...yummy!
Bar.
One bar in the hotel, which opened at 17.00 hours until midnight, prices good compared to some prices charged in other hotels.
The staff were attentive, and very courteous, Florian, was a star, he remembered what we were drinking after one round, mind you, we do like a drink, and are no shrinking violets....service from bar staff was first class. Thanks guys.
Entertainment.
They has something on every night.
Bingo, quiz and a little music before 9.30, then either a Singer, comedienne or local act....then some excellent music played from 11 onwards, and everyone was up strutting their stuff...Pulp Fiction has nothing on us....Brilliant.
Mark the MC, and quiz master, is a welcoming man, who spoke with everyone, tried his best to please everyone's musical preferences, and had us all laughing. He was a good singer too,and he showed off his voice singing some Songs from the West End Musicals. A good night was had by all. Thanks Mark.
We had an excellent 4 day break, and I would recommend to anyone. We will certainly be coming back..( if they will have us)
Thank you to all the wonderful staff. Stand up and take a bow.
See you all agin soon.

Stayed here 4 April for 5 days. Reception were very welcoming and professional. Lovely room facing the sea, and not too noisy from the road. Staff were very friendly and our entertainment guy (Mark) was a joy. Food was good. Our coach drivers were funny and very courteous and helpful.

Stayed here for one night at short notice. £95.00 for one night B&B was a bit pricey as the breakfast was at best poor. Bacon that tasted of nothing much and fried eggs that would have bounced off the floor. Gave us a poor room but did change it with no fuss. Bed was very small and looked a bit ridiculous in what was a fairly large room with a lovely sea view. Entertainment was very good on the night we stayed. The guy doing the singing was called Billy Miller and the compare Mark did a fine job making everyone feel welcome. Bar staff were all very friendly . I really do think Shearings could do so much better with the hotels they own. They have to, in my opinion up the quality and stop doing everything to a price as they do appear very cheap for longer stays. Suppose you get what you pay for but I would like a bit more in the way of bed and meals.

This is one of two Shearings/Bay hotels in Eastbourne. It is well situated right by the Carpet Flower Gardens, and about 100 metres from the pier. Its grade 2 listed facade is one of Eastbourne's landmarks. Most rooms have been re-furbished recently, and are of a good standard. Their staff are friendly, and there was average entertainment each night we stayed. The meals served were of a good standard. Bar prices were fair, and the general amenities were OK. There are 2 lifts, but often one was not working.
Parking around Eastbourne can be difficult, but there is a small hotel car park for about 30 cars, which you have to book in advance for £5 a night. But you can also park outside the hotel for £1 a day, using a council parking permit available at reception on request. I would recommend for a short break. We stayed for 3 weekend nights on half board, booked directly with Bay Hotels for £35 pppn.

We had a brilliant stay at this hotel. Staff were brilliant. Didn't see the manager though the staff were taking charge. Pedro was absolutely brilliant and rally looked after everyone including maintenance. Food was great and the room was fine everything clean and tidy. A lovely sea view from our room which was brilliant. No entertainment the first night but we made our own up with our coach party. Entertainment the next 2 nights was fine. Arranged our own bingo and won every night.

Had a 4 night stay in this hotel. Enjoyed it, no problems. Staff all helpful. My single room looked fairly recently decorated, the bed felt like a new one. There was tea making facilities and a hair drier which I wasn't expecting.
