“Great”
+Lovely room and matches photos on internet. If you are not too good with stairs it would be worth checking which floor your room is on, although the owners are happy to assist with luggage. Very clean throughout. Owners friendly and helpful. Shops and a good selection of restaurants are close by and the promenade / beach is only 5/8 mins away. I will return :-)
−A sign indicating the hotel close to the road would be really helpful for those arriving in the dark.

“Truly fabulous stay as always”
+Everything. The accommodation is superb and Chris and Caroline are such brilliant and caring hosts who are so diligent. The rooms are so comfortable with such lovely bedding and furnishings and quality toiletries - brilliant attention to detail. The breakfast is so good too with so many options. There is a lovely bar here too with reasonably priced drinks and the hotel is in the heart of Eastbourne and close to lots of restaurants and bars and 5 minutes to the train station. I’ve stayed here 4 times and really look forward to coming back - fantastic place and so homely.

“Above and beyond”
+A very well presented and maintained B&B in a tastefully renovated Victorian building provided an excellent base from which to explore the Seven Sisters and surrounds, and Eastbourne itself. Caroline and Chris could not have been more welcoming nor more practical in their advice how to use our limited time. Although 'location' might be measured, in Eastbourne, by proximity to the beach, Ravilious is only five minutes' walk from there, plus very close to both an international lawn tennis venue and one of the best small contemporary art galleries, the Towner, I have experienced in the UK. Ravilious is also an easy, 10- min walk from the train and bus stations. The breakfast was outstansing. Highly recommended.
−Overall we were more than satisfied on all fronts.We were on the top of four floors, requiring a bit of a hike - there is no lift. Chris kindly carried our bags up, and the stairs proved no problem for us. Anyone with mobility limits or particularly heavy luggage, however, would be advised to factor that in to a booking request, as lower floors would be preferrable.

“A lovely place to stay, I'd recommend it.”
+The room was spacious, clean, modern and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was lovely with a fine choice of offerings with good service and well prepared/cooked food. Nice to have a hotel with a well stocked bar, and the central location was ideal for the coastline, the train station and the South Downs Way footpath. Happily recommend this to anyone wanting such a hotel and will actively seek to use it again if we're in the area.
−Not much. I suspect that in very hot weather the room would benefit from air con, but in Sept it was fine.
