Kent, Sussex (Brighton, Eastbourne)
Head south this winter for a vibrant Christmas getaway by the sea! We stay in the relaxed coastal town of Eastbourne (think fun-filled celebrations at our hotel paired with refreshing strolls along the seafront). We also discover pretty Hastings and Battle on this not-to-be-missed breakaway and also have the chance to visit Brighton.
The Cavendish Hotel faces the coast on Eastbourne’s Grand Parade. The en-suite rooms offer TV and tea and coffee-making facilities. Other hotel facilities include a bar and restaurant which overlook the beach, a library and guest lounges.
