Our stay was absolutely wonderful—truly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The hotel is in the perfect spot, just a short walk from both the city center and the coastline, so everything we needed was close by. Our room was beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully prepared, with lovely little touches like desserts and a bath bomb. The breakfast was delicious and made with care. But what made our stay really memorable were the people. Chris and Caroline were so warm and helpful, sharing great tips on hiking trails and fun things to do around town. You can feel the love and attention to detail they put into every part of the place.

Excellent b&b with evident attention to detail, which is crucial in any customer service environment. A warm welcome, fantastic, central location, nice big bedroom, chocolate marshmallows in addition to biscuits is a nice, noticeable touch. Bed & pillows comfortable, as was the bathroom & shower, with nice high end soap, shower gel & shampoo. Remarkably good breakfast with a selection of delicious home made yogurt with blueberries & chia seeds, plus cereals. I had scrambled eggs smoked salmon on toast which was perfectly cooked & presented. Can I highly recommend the Ravilious? Absolutely, of course! (PS - I have in the recent past stayed at several B&B's & hotels in Eastbourne)

Nothing - And I am openly critical whenever I need to be

It had a boutique yet homely and welcoming feel, the room was incredibly clean and even though it was a single was very spacious and quiet. The front and back garden space were both lovely areas to relax in, all of the interior decor and artefacts added to the overall ambience of the property. Both Chris and Caroline were amazing, really friendly and interested in your stay, giving tips on where to go and visit and local restaurants etc. the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a B&B with wide options and excellent service. The hotel was really close to everything and the free or cheap parking was a bonus, I’d definitely return thank you!

Nothing

The Ravilious is a stunning building, in an amazing location. So central, everything is a short walk away. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. We loved our room, it was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was lovely every morning, a lot of choice on the menu even for someone like myself who is dairy and egg free. The highlight of the stay were the fabulous hosts, Chris and Caroline. They were so friendly and attentive. Very helpful in recommending restaurants, giving directions, and so much more. Would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Eastbourne.

Not much to dislike! Everything was pretty great! My only negative was that I found the mattress a little too hard but that's just personal preference. There are a lot of stairs if you're staying in one of the rooms at the top of the house, this wasn't an issue for us but might be something to consider if you have mobility issues.

Chris and Caroline were perfect hosts — naturally helpful, friendly and attentive to just the right degree. The property is centrally located and in easy walking distance of the station. The room was pleasant, well-appointed and spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable, and everything worked well. Breakfast was delicious with a full range of options to please any taste. Our reason for being in Eastbourne wasn’t a happy one, but our stay at Ravilious at least was something to remember for all the right reasons.

Nothing.

We had an amazing stay at the Ravilious for three nights in the spacious and lovely decorated attic room. And we couldn't be more satisfied, treated in the most friendly and charming way by Chris and Caroline, who flexibly accommodated us prior to standard check-in time and stored our luggage for a few hours after check-out. The hosts were utterly helpful and welcoming, leaving detailed suggestions for hiking trips, walking strolls and not the least, restaurant recommendations. We also savoured Chris' cooking abilities - his eggs Benedict was superb:)! We are happy to warmly recommend the Ravilious for stays in Eastbourne.

This was my second stay with Chris & Caroline; they are my 'go-to' hotel when I stay in Eastbourne. The rooms are gorgeous, all decorated in a different colour with tv, hairdryer and coffee/tea making facilities with a great selection of biscuits! The bathrooms are modern, well laid out and there are complimentary toiletries. Breakfast each day is a feast, beautifully presented with so much on offer. Chris' scrambled eggs are the best I've ever tasted😋 This was a poignant trip for me as it was the first to the hotel without my late husband. Chris and Caroline were so welcoming and supportive throughout my stay - they are the best! I would always highly recommend the Ravilious to anyone☺️

Nothing!

I had a very warm welcome which included some useful knowledge of the local area. The bedroom was large, quiet and comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed a long, hot bath. A continental breakfast was provided before breakfast time so that i could catch an early train. The train station was a short walk from the property. My suitcase was kindly stored during the day for me to collect later.

I was very happy with the accommodation and have no complaints.

Absolutely everything! The room was exactly as described. The hosts were WONDERFUL! The made to order breakfast was a fantastic way to start the day and the food was so good. Little touches like a helpful booklet in the room describing amenities/services, to stilled water and biscuits. Lots of helpful tips from the hosts. The location was easy walking distance to train, restaurants, and the pier.

Nothing to improve!!! Loved everything!!!

The room I stayed in (the attic room) was very clean and conveniently laid out with thoughtful design touches like a self-locking door and main light switches by both door and bed. There were thoughtful touches such as complimentary toiletries and as selection of biscuits to have with your tea including Tunnocks marshmallow teacakes. The en-suite bathroom was similarly well laid out with modern and stylish fixtures and fittings. The rainfall showerhead was just the thing the morning after a walk across the Seven Sisters. The breakfast selection was excellent with all the staples you might expect and also some surprising alternatives, freshly cooked to order.

There was nothing I did not like about the Ravilous. Chris and Caroline were perfect hosts: responsive to individual needs and being genuinely interested in making your stay as comfortable and leisurely as possible.
