The Sheldon B&B - Free Private Parking: Family-friendly guest house 100m from Eastbourne Beach

Amenities & Services

The Sheldon offers free private parking for each room, a rarity among area hotels, along with secure bike storage for cyclists. An honesty bar stocks locally brewed beer, cider, wine, and snacks in the lounge, and guests can use a shared fridge, microwave, and crockery in the dining area. On-site laundry and ironing facilities, a lift to upper floors, and express check-in/check-out add convenience for all visitors.

Rooms & Atmosphere

The 20-room Victorian property displays original murals and local art throughout its colourful lounge and breakfast room. Each room provides hypoallergenic Yorkshire-made toiletries, a choice of firm and soft pillows, and tea and coffee making facilities. Guests can relax in the sunny new gardens with outdoor seating or in the cosy lounge with single-origin coffee and organic Clipper teas.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The Sheldon sits on a quiet street just 100m from Eastbourne's seafront and a short stroll from the Devonshire Quarter, which houses theatres and galleries. Eastbourne Pier and the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs are within walking distance, with hiking and cycling routes accessible directly from the hotel. The Towner Gallery, numerous pubs, and restaurants are also within a five-minute walk.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast includes hot dishes made to order, with dietary adjustments available on request, plus a buffet of cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, and juices. The hotel uses high-quality ingredients and offers vegetarian options alongside a full English breakfast. An early departure arrangement provides toast and coffee at 7am for guests leaving before breakfast service.

Family & Pet-Friendly

The Sheldon is dog-friendly and provides special amenities for pets, including a resident Cavapoo named CK who greets guests. Families with children can use toys and books provided in common areas, and the hotel offers family rooms with spacious layouts. A children's playground and a side entrance for buggies make stays easier for those travelling with young children.
