we have just spent 3 nights/4days at this hotel,its a Shearings Bay Hotel so you don't spend a fortune here but it is super value,just look them up and see for yourself. The Hotel is being gradually re-decorated, but just like at home it all takes time. We had a seaview room 411 and as the Hotels location is just east of the pier the view was spectacular a short walk into town (10 mins) an easy walk up to Beachy Head (2 /3hours depending if you go to the pub for lunch) and lovely gardens the whole length of the prom. The food here is nicely cooked, well presented and served up by caring and friendly staff, a special thank you to Miriam who looked after all in our party (11 of us ) for the 4 days 8 meals we had ,she worked really hard .Don't listen to anyone who tells you this is not a friendly place (a) you get what you pay for and (b)you get treated how you treat others.There is plenty of entertainment at the Burlington, if you are like me and prefer the quiet life ,the bar is substantial and there is loads of lounge space to be had without being bothered by bingo/quizzes/or singers if you like all that then you are in luck they really try to please everyone and generally i think they do. To sum up for us the food was good, the room was great, and All the staff were a credit to their manager. We will certainly return to The Burlington at Eastbourne.

We have just got back from a long weekend at the Burlington Hotel in Eastbourne. We had an nice time the staff are great and the foods not bad. Breakfast is a bit chaotic they seemed to run out bacon a lot ( at least you can still get bacon!!!!.) the place is really good value for money and you can't fault the bar prices compared to some hotels. Just a tip if anyone is thinking of going try and stay clear of room 444 your not actually in the lift but it feels like it!!.

Stayed at this hotel for a long weekend Fri/Mon with nine lady friends, we had a brilliant time, room was comfortable and warm when necessary, food was enjoyable and all the staff at were pleasant and helpful. entertainment was great Friday and Saturday night, not so good Sunday, although, that could have been because we had all crammed so much into the weekend we were all shattered and went to bed early. Mark was fantastic calling the bingo and compering the entertainment, we loved him.
Just one criticism for the management, being at the back of the hotel overlooking the car park, in room 138 it was really noisy most of the night, with people talking under my window in the early hours. Overall, a great weekend, would stay again,.xx

We came as part of a coach trip and were impressed with the service right from the start. The fact that they delivered your bags straight to you room form the coach was very appreciated. We only ate breakfast as we were meeting family in the evenings. The dining room was very busy at breakfast time but this meant that the food was always being replenished so it was hot and fresh. The room was clean and warm but only soap was provided which was disappointing. There are parts of the hotel that are needing tlc but overall it did not detract from a very comfortable stay

Lovely hotel situated on the seafront one concern was highlighted was the steps at the front entrance,two people fell during our stay and it maybe beneficial to have a ramp installed.

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.
