The Mowbray

About

Nestled on the bustling seafront of Eastbourne, The Mowbray is a charming 13‑room boutique guesthouse that proudly holds the AA 4‑Star Guest Accommodation award. The historic Edwardian townhouse, originally built by the Duke of Devonshire, has been welcoming travellers for over 90 years, offering lush rooms ranging from cosy singles to spacious family suites complete with en‑suite showers and lift access. With 13 bedrooms, the property delivers a homely feel while providing modern comforts such as complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi, a fully renovated lounge, and a fresh digital‑lock system that allows self‑check‑in from noon to midnight. Guests are treated to an award‑winning breakfast each morning, served in a stylish, airy breakfast room that has consistently earned the AA Breakfast Award since 2011. The menu, priced at just £11 per adult and £7 per child (subject to pre‑booking and availability), blends classic English favorites with lighter options and a generous assortment of freshly baked pastries, cereals, and fruit. The Mowbray’s dedication to quality extends to the boutique kitchenette where guests can prepare their own meals, as well as to the small but well‑equipped lounge that features a fridge and a range of games. Beyond comfort and culinary delights, The Mowbray offers convenient amenities such as free street parking, an affordable daily parking permit (£3), and a friendly local team that prides itself on personalised service. Located less than 100 yards from the beach and just across the road from the Devonshire Theatre and Winter Garden, the property’s prime position makes it an ideal base for exploring Eastbourne’s cultural attractions, tennis courts and seaside leisure. The combination of historic character, award‑grade hospitality, and a prime seaside location makes The Mowbray a standout choice for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
