The Pilot Inn Eastbourne

Review by hotel critic

During our recent family vacation at the Pilot Inn, we found it to be quite convenient for our adventures in Eastbourne. Situated above a friendly pub, the rooms were clean and equipped with essential amenities like a fridge, bottled water, and coffee supplies. Our children appreciated the thoughtful extras, like cookies and extra blankets. The highlight was undoubtedly the food - the belly pork was a major hit around the table! The kids enjoyed the outdoor seating, elegantly lit at night, where we could unwind together after a busy day exploring. Speaking of exploration, Eastbourne's town centre was a short bus ride away and kept us entertained with its theatres, art galleries, and, of course, the iconic pier. We lucked out with a room featuring a large bath, ideal for post-adventure relaxation. Most importantly, the staff were exceptionally accommodating, making it simple for us to store our bags early in the day. The Pilot Inn ticks all the boxes for families looking for a comfortable stay with plenty of activities nearby. I’d recommend it to anyone planning a family trip to this charming seaside town.
