We booked a very good value 3 night half board ' party weekend ' here from the 15 - 17th of February,we knew in advance that this hotel caters for coach parties so to find that the Hotel was full was no suprise.
Our room was small but adequate for our needs, however the shower was inoperable for some reason & we couldn't open the sash windows so the room was stuffy even in February, after asking for the window to be opened someone crudely managed to do this & damage the frame in the process.
The food was also adequate & for the price we paid, sufficient in terms of quality & quantity.
Every night there was some kind of live entertainment ranging from a magician to singers to bingo - which we won on our second evening !
The staff were friendly & helpful too.

Well, better late than never! We organised a party of 48 from our local Church social club, St. Mary`s, Middleton, Leeds, to this hotel w/b 28th January 2013.
The holiday really started when the coach picked us up, nice trip down, very nice driver and arrived at the hotel in good time.
Can I say that if you`re looking for 5 star accommodation do not book this hotel, how-ever, if you want really REALLY good value for money this place is a must! All rooms were clean, tidy and well looked after. The food (apart from the rather thin tomato soup on the first evening) was first class. The entertainment, brilliant! excellent compere, with the best of the entertainment on the Thursday evening. Bingo. I DETEST it, but know that many many people like playing. They were well catered for every evening. All this plus 2 trips out AND 4 drinks vouchers per person every evening of our stay. I honestly don`t know how Shearings do it for £129-00 they charged per person, but I am glad they do!
All in all a HUGE "thank you" to ALL the Burlington staff including those who work "behind the scenes" Special thanks to the member of the bar staff who tried to juggle a glass (and failed!) He was a star in the making, and kept us entertained for the rest of the week!
Last comment to make, we have organised winter trips with Shearings now for many many years. This is the first one where we didn`t have one complaint about anything, and that`s a first!
Well done Shearings & well done Team Burlington, we all hope to be back in the near future.

Booked independently through late rooms.com for two night break with bed and breakfast.
The hotel is a little tired in places, but the hotel is exceptionally clean.
Our stay at this hotel was very nice!
The room we stayed in was very basic standard room, very clean, but in some need of re-decoration, and the windows desperately need maintaining,
The bed was fine and had a large bathroom and there was always plenty of hot water.
The room came with tea and coffee making items and the towels were changed every day.
There was a small television in the room and unfortunately the hotel does not have Wi Fi at the present time.
But overall it was a very pleasant stay very quiet in the room, no disturbance and we were on 4rd floor.
All the staff are all clearly hard working.
But I must point out “Ewa” our waitress, who served us our breakfasts on both days.
She always met us with a smile, and nothing was too much trouble for her,
It was clear she was a very hard worker and who took pride and fully enjoyed her job.
She is credit to the Hotel profession.
The food at breakfast was very good, a good variety of cereals and porridge followed by a full English.
There is parking at £5 per day, but there is plenty of on street parking.
Location almost opposite the pier on the front, fantastic views and plenty of shops just round the corner,
Just one minor complaint: Please can you remove the carpet tiles from the lifts and replace them with mirrors or something brighter, as it seems very claustrophobic and dark with them stuck to the walls
A very delightful place, thanks everyone, we enjoyed our stay and will return.

We have just got back from a Mon - Fri break with Shearings. Unfortunatly we got caught up in the snow on the way down. We had left the last service place at 3pm then every thing went wrong the snow was freezing as it came down and it was chaotic with traffic stood still every where. Tony the driver was great and got us their safely. The staff at the Burlington were fantastic to us as we arrived at 1-30 am tired and hungry. They had laid on a lovely buffet for us and they were all so friendly and welcoming even thought they must have been tired themselves. We had a lovely clean room with a sea view. The bed was really comfortable. Only thing was the creaky floor boards but as it is an old building, to be expected. Meals are very good especially the breakfasts, as we missed Mon entertainment can only comment on the 3 nights we saw. Tues was a comedian he was ok, Wed a girl singer who sang show tunes we enjoyed but did hear a few people say they hadnt liked her, then Thurs which was brilliant he was a comedian who hardly drew breath plus he played the keyboard which enabled the dancers to get up. Must also mention Mark the entertainment guy who kept the evenings flowing. Quite enjoy a game of Bingo ( didnt win) Great Hotel, loved our stay, Thank You all

We have just come back from 3 nights at the Burlington in Eastbourne & have to say that for the money we paid,it was good value. The hotel is right on the front, almost across the road from the pier & 15 minute walk from the station. We stayed in a standard room which although in need of updating,was ok for us. Plenty of cupboard space & the bathroom was adaquate, There is never enough light in these rooms & the windows are showing signs of mould & need replacing with double glased units. The public rooms were cold most of the time, esp. the bar looking over the front, guests had to keep coats on in there, this needs to be addressed. Meals them selves were good & always hot with a decent choice & you can upgrade if you fancy something different.
Entertainment was on every night & geared to older guests & was actually very good, Mark the compare was on top form. All the staff were plesant & helpfull which made the holiday.
Sherings do good offers like this & we will definatly go with them again, only when the weather gets better!!

Stayed for a 4 night break at end of March. Although the weather was extremely chilly the hotel was warm at all times, not easy when the hotel is right on sea front. The Burlington is ideally situated for easy access to the sea front, buses, and the shopping centre is only a five minute walk away. We stayed in a standard room which was clean, tidy and quite roomy. The en-suite was dated and a little shabby but there was constant hot water and the shower was good. The restaurant served a good choice of food and all the staff were friendly and helpful at all times.
The entertainment was very good on every night but a special mention should be made of Ray Campbell who did an almost 2 hour spot - excellent. Shearings offer a good value for money holiday and we will certainly go again.

Stayed over Easter at this hotel. Rooms very tired and need a refurb! A massive shame as the food
Is excellent the staff friendly and the drinks good value. Our first room we rejected as it was very dark and dingy and we ended up paying for a sea view room. It was a little better but the shower didn't work very well. The entertainment was average as at least 60% of the audience could not see the act due to the layout of the room. So if you do not mind a well below average room with good food then this is for you. No sky sports even in the main hotel which forced me to go elsewhere to watch football.
