“The Cumberland in Eastbourne retains echoes of Victorian seaside elegance, offering a change from more generic modern hotels. Its location puts guests within a short walk of the pier, with sea views from many rooms, even on the side of the building. I think the attentive staff and the hotel's character make it a worthwhile base for exploring the coast.”
