We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay at the Ravilious more. The hosts were very welcoming and a wealth of helpful information for hikes and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

We had a fantastic stay at Ravilious – Chris and Caroline are warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. It was the perfect base for exploring Eastbourne and the surrounding countryside. Our room was spotlessly clean, stylish, and very comfortable. Breakfasts were outstanding with so much choice, including vegetarian options, and all beautifully prepared and delicious. We also really appreciated the local restaurant recommendations, which were spot on. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to visit again soon.

Chris and Caroline are the best hosts. We stayed the wonderful room 10 which was so relaxing from beginning to end… especially with a morning soak in the huge bath with the sun pouring in! Thank you for such a lovely 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. Wonderful breakfast, lovely bar area for a night cap if needed, Chris & Caroline are perfect hosts, warm and friendly. Can not recommend highly enough.

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.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this charming, family-owned hotel in Eastbourne. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel incredibly welcome — they are warm, kind, and absolute masters of hospitality. It's clear they truly belong in this industry. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and their passion for providing a great guest experience shines through. The highlight of each day was the breakfast — it was nothing short of professional-level quality. Beautifully prepared, delicious, and served with care. You can tell they take great pride in what they do. If you're looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, with top-tier service and genuine heart, this is it. Highly recommend! P.s. don’t forget to check out the dome at the backyard

Had a great stay here! Chris and Caroline were very well informed about the area, Chris' tip about the bus for the seven sisters really helped out! The place is clean, breakfast has something for everyone and they're willing to make changes if needed. Everything was great, no faults!
