Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had a very enjoyable short break in this lovely B & B which has a quiet seafront location with free on street parking and Catherine and Howard, the owners, were very friendly and helpful. Eastbourne is a lovely seaside town with beautiful countryside and walks nearby. Will stay here again.

we have stayed at Eastbourne a number of times but this is the nicest place we stayed. The rooms are modern, clean tidy. Breakfast is delicious and plenty of it cooked to order. The owners are so friendly always asking if you are ok and if you need anything. We will be booking there again. Thank you ps free wifi in rooms :)

The Bassets House is a wonderfull place for a stay in Eastbourne. Beach is only 100m away and city center can be reached within 10-15min. Rooms are cosy and clean. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic. The owners Christine and Howard are very welcoming and made it a wonderfull stay. We will definitely come back. Cheers Anne & Tobi

The room was quite small, but clean. Bathroom massive and lovely shower. Our experience was not good with the owner regarding the breakfast. Just an lack of their communication to us. They need to stipulate on booking their B&B that they only provide cooked breakfast from certain times. We would not have booked if we had known this.

Response from Howard&Catherin... S, Owner at Bassets House
Responded 1 Aug 2015
We are disappointed that you found it necessary to post this comment, given that we refunded you £20 for your missed breakfast without question. Our website clearly states that our cooked breakfast is served between 0800 and 0930. Guests who need to leave much earlier are always provided with a cold buffet ( fresh fruit salad, croissants, yoghurts, cereals, juices, and tea and coffee, as were you at 0630. Our website also states our latest check-in time is 2100, but as you arrived later than this we were left with no option to do more than provide this early cold buffet.

We stopped in Eastbourne for one night and stayed at Bassets. Beautiful well presented property with a stunning coastal feel to it. Comfortable rooms however the breakfast was outstanding, better than we have had in a long while. Hosts were absolutely lovely and catered for whatever you needed. Both were very friendly and remembered your name throughout the stay. Highly recommend staying here while in Eastbourne and would definately stay again if down that way!

We returned here having enjoyed it last summer. It was a second outstanding experience with superb breakfasts, clean,well appointed room and very friendly,helpful hosts. Ideally located on the main parade with views of the sea but just away from the very busy promenade. Free on street parking opposite the house . You should stay here if you are visiting Eastbourne

Spending two nights on the Basset House during a weekly roundtrip in Southern England. My wife celebrated her 50th birthday and wanted to re-visit some places where she visited as a student. Basst House where choosen upon the reviews on TripAdvisor, and we were'nt dissapointed.The hosts were a very friendly couple and they supported me during the morning celebration of my wife, putting candles in the cake and, not at least, gave a strong vocal support on "happy birthday" :) Breakfast impeccable, spacious room, nice and clean bathroom. A bit pricey though.

Amazing breakfast, very clean, tradizional English and 'princess' room with a great terrace. The hospitality was nothing less than superb thanks for the wonderful welcome of the lovely owners Catherine and Howard. Thanks a lot from Elena and Graeme.
