Wonderful stay!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ravilious. The hotel is lovely, well located, the room was expertly decorated, very comfortable, and very clean. Breakfast was excellent as well and the hosts gracious. I would highly recommend this hotel.

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.

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!

Raving about Ravilious!

Ravilious was a great find! Fabulously well appointed, spacious room with excellent service from Chris (sorry we didn't get to meet Caroline!). It was conveniently located close to the centre of town, restaurants and the promenade. Breakfast was well prepared and tasty. We will be back!

Eastbourne 2 night break

Very friendly place to stay. Car parking on the street at £2 per day, easy to arrange with owners. Hotel centrally located (for theatre, station, tennis, shops, pier, restaurants) so didn't have to move the car. Was able to leave our cases before check-in time. Hotel very clean and comfortable, we will definitely return. Cooked breakfast very good. Lots of good local information including money off map.
