3-Star Hotels in Bexhill-on-Sea

Lipstick and rouge. On initial checkin, it looked ok. But we first noticed a spider, then lots of spider webs on one light. After removing the spider, we figured the bed was a little lumpy but nothing major. First night was initially quiet until the flat above came back. You can hear everything above. Walking around like you were in the basement of a farm house, voices… everything. So second night came back, found two very large spiders on the walls (talking full grown half a baseball sized spiders) killed them. Then put in ear plugs to sleep for the night. Several times woken by the loud banging of what i think was the opening and closing of doors. Though im not sure, then, after being unable to get back to sleep, removed the ear plugs to hear snoring from the room above. For the price paid, expected far more from this property. If those are not issues for you, then your good. Otherwise, you might want to go elsewhere. It was located in the heart of the town…

This is a delightful venue for a relaxed lunch. There is an extensive and attractive outdoor terrace but we thought we would be pushing it a bit on a late October day, despite the sunshine, so ventured indoors. We were warmly welcomed by a cheerful lady called Barbra who, together with a pretty young waitress, looked after us extremely well. The food was fresh and delicious; the accompanying chips were the best I have had in a very long time. It is unusual to find such efficient and professional service these days and we left with a warm glow for a stroll along the adjoining beach. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you Barbra, you are a great ambassador for the Relais, Cooden Beach.

The outside of the hotel is very scruffy, but this is because it is in the process of being refurbished. The rooms themselves were excellent, clean , modern (although the see through toilet door is a bit kinky in room 4.) Although being warned of the step inside the passageway to room 4 my wife tripped up it and the light needs improving or warning tape put on the step. We had to bring the date forward of our visit due to the impending death of a near relative and was very disappointed in having to pay a surcharge of £48.00 per room for the convenience of doing this although we believe the hotel did not have any reservations for these rooms, so could have waived the surcharge. We did not have occasion to eat at the hotel excepting for breakfast which was excellent.
