Travelled with Shearing's coach holidays to the Burlington hotel eastbourne for a party weekend 1st to 4th of February.We consider we had brilliant value for money.Our sea view bedroom was clean,warm,comfortable.and quiet (room 307 3rd floor) All the staff were helpful pleasant and efficient. The dining room and food was good as was entertainment and bar staff.and thank you to our coach drivers JOHN and STEVE for making our coach journey and interesting and enjoyable.i

My husband and I have just returned from 5 days in Eastbourne with National Holidays, the cost of the holiday was £99 which was good value as it included coach travel, dinner, bed and breakfast and two excursion. The hotel was situated on the sea front and was just a short walk to the shopping centre. The rooms were tired and old, every floor board creaked in the bedroom and the bathroom, I thought the people in the room above were going to come through the ceiling. The decor made the room look dirty, the ceiling looked as if it had a recent coat of paint. Traveling down in the coach took all day as, we left Bradford Interchange at 7-20 Monday morning and arrived at the hotel at 16-00, we picked up at Halifax then Huddersfield and Barnsley. We then went on to Woodhall Services where we all changed coaches one to Torquay, one to Newquay and ours to Eastbourne, that was 3 hours to just outside Sheffield!!!! And we did the same in reverse coming back!!! It just added hours onto the trip and I think National Holidays should get their act together and try and come up with something better than that. The driver of the coach was called Tony and he did a good job and was very pleasant.

We have just returned from 5 days 4 nights at the Burlington Hotel. The hotel is situated opposite the pier in a very good location to the shopping centre..The hotel its self is like a number of Shearing hotels where parts need to be refurbished but at the end of the day for what we paid you get value for money. The food was adequate the hotel clean and staff hardworking and helpful.If you are self drive there is a multi storey car park nearby or the hotel has its own at the rear wwhich there is a charge.The entertainment is good each night and Mark works hard to ensure you have a good time. All told very enjoyable holiday.

Yes we had a cheapie break at the seaside. Poor old hotel is showing its age and is cold in the Reception and Lounge areas. It was positively freezing in the bedrooms on the front. The wind was blowing a gale on Thursday but the windows are sash and don't fit well and ALL the guests were complaining about being cold. There is no heating at all in the bathrooms. There are only bath towels, not sheets which are very small and thin and we had blankets on the bed!!! The food was good though, the company fun and our waitress, Rebecca (daughter of the restaurant manager) was excellent. All the staff were good but the cold rooms put a bit of a damper on the break.

We knew what to expect when we visited the Burlington - lots of people (5 Coaches) and a slightly worn hotel - nothing wrong with that when you considered the price paid.We went in a bitterley cold few days in February - many hotels wern't even a quarter full. We prefered to stay somewhere with a little bit of life. Breakfasts were good, good choice and the standard was surprisingly high.We did not have evening meals there as they were so busy the couldn't fit us in - no problem dozens of places to eat.The bedroom was however not so good. Large room obviously refurbished not so long ago - but extremely cold,the bathroom was huge - no form of heating whatsoever.The wind whistled through the windows of the bathroom and the bedroom - no putty,ill-fitting and at the mercy of the bitterly cold wind.We asked for a heater and were given a small oil filled radiator - it made little impression.
I know the price is good but avoid the hotel in cold Winter months.

Just got back from eastbourne, a weekend break with shearings,always very good value,
Nice staff, adequate food,the only downside is they always play bingo at their hotels ,and if you don't want to play you have to sit silence as your afraid to talk,
Not the best entertainment,but ok.met a lovely couple from Wolverhampton who made our stay even better, will continue to use shearings as you get a great deal,

Booked independently through late rooms.com. For three night break. We opted for bed and breakfast but did book dinner on our last evening. The hotel is a little tired in places, but the hotel is exceptionally clean. The staff are hard working and all were cheery. The position of the hotel was very good. On sea front, near to town centre and opposite pier. I agree with previous comments that the wind whistles off the seafront and in through the sash windows, but living in a Victorian house with sash windows we find this rather healthy, rather than having a stuffy overheated room. The breakfasts were good and dinner on our last night was hot, tasty and plentiful. There was evening entertainment but we were not there to see the first two nights but on Sunday, the magician and all round entertainer was very good. The only negative for us was a lack of WiFi - we are silver surfers and believe all hotels should offer free WiFi. Some people found the parking rather expensive at £5 per day, but there is plenty of on street parking. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

we have just returned from a 5 day stay at the Burlington, it was a little ragged around the edges, but for what we paid great value, Kevin the driver was full of information about the area, and also told some wonderful little stories, we found the food very good as was the hard working staff at meal times,

Stayed at the Burlington hotel in room 350, on a 5 day holiday from National Holidays. The room was clean and tidy, the customer service desk was very helpful during the stay and the food was well served and presented. The menu was very varied so there was at least one dish each night that appealed too myself, all in all this is a great place to stay and was excellant value for money. I shall be going back to this hotel to see other sites in the areahich i didnt get to see on this occasion. Well Done Burlington staff.
