Hotels near Beachy Head, East Dean and Friston

We were really pleased with the rooms. Really happy with our decision to stay after the Seven Sisters hike rather than going back to London right away. Highly recommended.

特意開車過去看白崖，酒店樓下是户外餐廳，大家都在餐廳喝啤酒，很愜意啊，微風吹佛，真是度假的好地方，下次可以住兩天

ONE OF THE BEST PUB ACCOMMODATIONS ON THE SOUTH DOWNS. This place has everything a hiker or tourist could want in pub accommodations. The rooms are charming, pin-neat and adequately sized (remember, this is a country inn, not a Marriott). The staff is friendly, helpful and absolutely delightful. The setting is idyllic….right in the village green of East Dean. The food in the pub is excellent, and then you can grab a pint and sit out on the green as night descends, enjoying conversation and a sky that gradually deepens into a deep blue, sparking with stars. The location is great….about 3/4th of a mile hike to the beach and the hike up seven sisters or beachy head. Frequent bus service goes east and west to Eastbourne or Brighton. Infrequent bus service to the south takes you to the waterfront and Beachy Head (plan carefully)

This is a super village pub with real ale and great food used to be our local 25 years ago so pleased to call in and get great food on a Friday night. Super menu selection and great prices fresh tuna with crushed potatoes and broccoli, mushroom burger with chips and salad vegan choices great. Cosy atmosphere excellent bar staff very welcoming great to see busy as ever. Wish we lived closer always worth a visit.

Reception staff most unhelpful and not forthcoming with giving information. When booking I sent an email asking where we could eat with our dog that was booked in and paid for. I have no problem paying extra to take the dog but I do expect a reply, I didn't get one. When we checked in I asked again to be told that we could not have an evening meal as dogs were not allowed but we could have a light lunch menu or snack. Not what we wanted after travelling for 3.5 hours. We went somewhere else to eat. We asked about breakfast to be told we could eat in our bedroom or in the library. We opted for the library but it is very difficult and bad for the digestion to eat a hot breakfast on a lounge table, just the right height for the dog. We really did feel like outsiders. Dogs may be welcome but the owners are not. Must say the restaurant staff were lovely and I think they felt embarrassed about the whole thing. It would make it slightly better if they had a table the right height to eat.

Fantastic stay! Highly recommend. My partner and I stayed for a night. Arrived rather late and the staff were still up waiting for us. Acknowledged us by name and showed us up to our sea-facing room. Clean, well furnished, minimalist modern and spacious feel. Woke up to a fantastic unblocked sea view in our large window. Breakfast was available to all in the kitchen/ pantry from 7.30-10 with a more than decadent spread of your staples, hot fresh brewed tea and coffee. Minor drawback was the slightly longer walking distance from the city (about 15mins), no toothbrush available, and had I not read up online ahead of time, I’d never be able to find the place as there is (as many others have also mentioned) no clear sign that says “The Halcyon”. So to anyone to follow in our steps, this is honestly a beautiful place to stay. Excellent value for money away from the noise of the town centre, wonderful hospitable staff for a lovely guest experience, delightful & scrumptious brekkie, cosy and clean modernistic rooms & gorgeous views to wake up to. No hassle checking in or out. Just be mindful to look out for the big words that says “HOTEL” and you’re very likely at the right spot. (Checkout photos 1&2) Walk in without fear and be greeted by warm smiles and a fantastic experience all around.

The location of the hotel is very good, the service is also warm, the room environment is similar!
