This was our second stay in the New Wilmington hotel and, once again, it didn't disappoint. The staff were excellent, no job too big or small and you get the feeling that they really enjoy working there. The check-in was quick and easy and the rooms were ready for us even though we got there far earlier than we planned,... More

We are a large group of friends who have just stayed at the New Wilmington Hotel on a Turkey and Tinsel weekend. We have been on many of these weekends but usually go to Warners or large hotels/venues but my husband and I had stayed at The Wilmington earlier in the year for the tennis tournament (its just across the...

Although this hotel prides itself on "The best rated hotel in Eastbourne as rated by Tripadvisor", take that with a pinch of salt. It is NOT the best hotel in Eastbourne. The hotel was ok, interior is quite dated and it seems to cater for coach parties of the over 60's. On checkout you are encouraged to make a good... More

Have just returned from a lovely break at the New Wilmington and it certainly lived up to the reviews. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. There was a lovely atmosphere and we really felt like Christmas and New Year had come early because everywhere was so nicely decorated. When it was "New... More

Having taken advantage of a one night offer to stay on a Saturday night in Sussex we were expecting a very pleasant stay. The review of the hotel and images looked pleasing enough on their excellent web site but like all these things it would turn out to be different in reality. The hotel staff were friendly and accomodating when... More
