What a gem of a boutique hotel! Perfectly located in a charming part of Eastbourne, it’s just a short stroll from a fantastic selection of quality restaurants. Caroline and Chris are truly exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and full of great local knowledge. The rooms are beautifully appointed with top-notch quality and attention to detail. And the breakfast? Absolutely outstanding. There’s something for everyone: from fresh fruit, cereals, and yogurts to overnight oats and a full English breakfast—all delicious and thoughtfully prepared. During our stay, Caroline and Chris shared great tips for exploring the area, including the best hiking routes along the Seven Sisters and must-visit spots around town. This boutique hotel is an absolute must-stay—you won’t be disappointed!

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our short stay at Ravilious in early April, 2025. Chris and Caroline make all their guests feel so welcome and were so helpful with local knowledge and dining recommendations. The Hotel is superb….a lovely traditional Eastbourne property but with all the modern accessories you could need. Breakfast was delicious freshly cooked food and with so much choice. Parking near the hotel is so easy - either in the free parking or if needs be using a daily permit. Thank you Chris and Caroline….we can’t wait to return.

Perfect Stay

Absolutely wonderful stay. Room was beautiful, with added bonus of sofa and reclining chair making the room a home from home. Excellent position 5 mins from seafront and Congress Theatre.

A gem of a hotel

Another lovely stay at this charming hotel. Chris & Caroline are the perfect hosts, and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious, and beautifully presented. The location is perfect for access to the seafront, shops, theatres, restaurants/cafes and walks up to Beachy Head and beyond. Definitely recommended.

This is our second stay at The Ravilious and we were not disappointed.This gorgeous B & B stands out from all the rest. The owners Chris and Caroline were extremely welcoming and informative. The rooms and communal areas are tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. The breakfast is tasty and freshly cooked, two of our party had full breakfast which they enjoyed , someone else had scrambled egg which they raved about, and I myself had omelette both mornings and it was delicious. The property is in a fantastic location for a flat walk to the beach & pier & town centre. Please do not hesitate to book your stay, you will not be disappointed.,

Superb friendly hotel.

What a lovely hotel run by a really lovely couple. We have never felt so welcome in a hotel. The rooms were to a high standard and the breakfasts were exceptionally tasty. The beds were very comfortable. The hotel is a very quiet area of Eastbourne from where you can access a number of excellent restaurants.
