The Sheldon B&B - Eastbourne

Welcome to The Sheldon — a unique, independent B&Bhospitality meets heart. Located on a quiet street just 100m from Eastbourne’s seafront and a short stroll from the theatre district, Towner Gallery, and dozens of great pubs and restaurants, we offer a truly memorable stay.

We’re not a chain, and we’re proud of it. Our 20-room Victorian property blends comfort, creativity, and community. Expect original murals and local art throughout, a colourful lounge and breakfast room, and a kaleidoscope of thoughtful details.

Start your day with a generous breakfast — including hot dishes made to order — and unwind in our honesty bar with locally brewed beer, cider, wine, and snacks. Enjoy our sunny new gardens with outdoor seating, or sip single-origin coffee and organic Clipper teas in our cosy lounge.

We offer free private parking forguests, hypoallergenic Yorkshire-made toiletries, and a certified plastic-free commitment. You’ll also meet CK, our resident Cavapoo, who’s as charming as he is cuddly.

With vintage flair, sustainability at its core, and a mission to make everyone feel at home in the world, The Sheldon is a spaceart, purpose, and people come together. Whether you’re here to hike the Seven Sisters, catch a show, or simply rest well by the sea — we’d love to welcome you.
