The Seaview, East Preston0

Reburbished throughout, very stylish, very clean, in a nice area. Superb breakfasts, excellent restaurant for lunch and dinner. Nice places to sit and relax, both indoors and out, all-day service from the bar. Lovely friendly staff. A few seconds stroll to (pebble) beach with beach shack or, less than a minute in opposite direction, little parade of restaurants, cafes, seaside shops. We will very likely return.

Our seaview room was small so a tight fit with our luggage. Daughter's street-view room much bigger. But I had wanted a sea view (even though a small house and a little touring caravan park in the foreground) so we managed. Parking only just big enough so we always wondered if we would find a space, but we always did (and kind owner put out a beer barrel to reserve another space for our daughter).

Exceptionally friendly staff. We stayed in the 2 bed apartment, which was perfect for our needs. The Seaview offered to change one of the bedrooms to twin beds (for adult brother & sister who didn't want to share a double bed) & this saved us using the sofa bed in the lounge area. The pub had a great atmosphere & seemed very well supported by both locals & visitors.

Parking was very limited, although we knew this before booking as been to East Preston (to visit family) many times before. Saying that, we did manage to park in seaview car park later in the evening.

Modern, clean, comfortable and in a great location. Each room had plenty of fluffy white bath towels and the bathroom was stocked with plenty of toiletries. The pub was really nice and had a lovely garden. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, even allowing us to access the property early as we were attending a family wedding

Just one very minor niggle is that the last sitting for breakfast on the Sunday morning was 9.30pm. Having attended a wedding the day before a slightly later time would have been appreciated. That said the breakfast itself was excellent

The location was excellent and the quality of decor brilliant. Staff were extremely professional, polite and helpful. Despite being closed on Mon, the team provided us with an excellent breakfast before we left. The garden area was lovely and the blankets and outdoor heaters were a great touch. The late lunch we had was lovely and really well presented. Being in hospitality and catering myself, I know what high standards look like and this was right up there. My wife and I were really pleased with our overnight stay.

The room we stayed in could have been a little bigger but it was well organised.

Amazing conversion from the old pub it used to be. Really lovely spaces to sit and relax inside and outside. Very close to the beach. The room had everything we needed for one night.,the bed was very comfortable. Shower was good. Breakfast was delicious…cooked and presented very well. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Nothing especially. It was a little tricky parking but we managed to get a space on arrival and later in the evening. There was also the option of parking on a nearby road.

Close to the Beach and an Apartment with private outside space

We weren’t informed until we got there that you couldn’t have a dog in the Hotel rooms - only the Apartment. We had booked the Apartment for my husband and I and and American friend who was visiting. Our friends with the Dog had book a Hotel room. We had to swap around when they told us that our friends could not have a dog in their room. Luckily our American friend offered to swap.

wonderful staff, spotlessly clean, kettle in the room & tea, coffee, bottled water etc). Food is exceptional and bar and garden have a lovely ambiance. Dog friendly.

white slatted shutters looked lovely but early morning sun shone through them - additional blackout blinds would be useful; toilet seat kept slipping off pan; hard to fathom shower controls; hard to find a spot for the ‘army’ of cushions on the bed ;-)

Very comfortable, small hotel within a few steps of the beach. Lovely, clean room with a good bathroom with walk-in shower. Large, modern bar and restaurant area that serves a delicious breakfast - although it doesn't say so on the site, breakfast is included in the room rate. Staff friendly and welcoming and could not be more helpful.

Difficult to find although the satnav takes you direct to the address. Restaurant appears to be closed on Tuesdays.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all beautifully prepared, well priced and delicious. Whole place has been refurbished with taste and a good quality. Staff could not have been more helpful, and cheerful. Relaxing courtyard. Cannot fault our stay.

Sweltering summer days - aircon in the bedroom would have been great but not a complaint.

Great location near beach, brilliant staff, rooms are modern with all facilities, good breakfast, garden area is 5 star and bar/ restaurant is very good too.

Very limited parking & wasn't advised that I could reserve a space but I did find a space. I would have been happier to pay to reserve a space.
