We can't wait to return and we only live a few miles away! I took my husband there as a surprise treat for his 50th birthday and stayed in 'old england'. The place is spotless, very comfortable and the best breakfasts ever. The staf (Ian and Shirley) are the nicest you will meet,they thoughtfully presented my husband with a birthday... More

From approaching the Belle Tout to entering the B&B what a fabulous experience. Ian the Manager is superb, as are all the staff, nothing too much trouble. The accomodation is second to non, attention to detail in a league of it's own. The Bell Tower is fantastic, the views over the Downs and Sea are superb, the room has 360... More

We arrived mid afternoon and was greeted by Ian the manager who immediately made us feel so welcome, we stayed in Shiraz room which was delightful and even had a... More

Delayed review but proposed to my fiance in the Belle Tout back in June 2011 and stayed in the Old England room, what a view. Service and food was faultless and a very big thanks to Ian the assistant manager who carefully helped me organise the special moment in the latern room together with music and champagne while watching the...

My partner & I stayed here at the weekend for one night in the Beach Hut Room & we wished we could have stayed longer! It was such an incredible place and Ian made us feel very welcome as soon as we walked through the door. The little touches added so much to our experience, from complimentary drinks in the... More

Better late than never. My partner and I stayed at the lighthouse in June 2011. What an amazing place. We stayed for one night and it was fantastic. The manager bent over backwards to make us feel welcome. The views are fantastic and the room we stayed in was clean and had an amazing view. I have been raving to... More

The lighthouse effectively speaks for it's self, it's very nicely laid out with spectacular views perched high up on Beachy Head. Rooms are comfortable, but the actual tower is the selling point, has to be seen. You won't stay in many places like this. What really makes this place so special is the Manager, an ex-head chef from Cornwall who... More

This is just one of those places you must try. The experience alone staying in "The Keeper's Loft" was awesome....very small, but true to form with the old style of living in a light house, viewing the 'other' lighthouse in the water out your window. I absolutely loved everything from the 15 miles of day hiking on the coast, to... More

High quality B&B in spectacular location with a dramatic history. Heaven for walkers/cyclists with plenty of public paths inland as well as on the jaw dropping coastline. Excellent pub (Tiger Inn) down the road for the evenings although there is a good communal sitting area with a log fire in the lighthouse! Great hospitality/chemistry from Ian and his crew. I...
