The Cumberland Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Eastbourne

The Cumberland Hotel sits directly on Eastbourne seafront, a 2-minute walk from the pebble beach. Eastbourne Pier is 400 metres from the property, and the Eastbourne Bandstand is across the road. Bus stops outside the hotel serve routes to Hastings and Brighton, and London Gatwick Airport is 73 km away.

Sea view rooms with private balconies are available, many of which have been refurbished with king beds and crisp white bedding. Family rooms and single rooms with sea views are offered, all with private bathrooms, TV, and tea and coffee facilities. The hotel provides 71 rooms across multiple floors, served by a lift.

The Wordsworth Restaurant serves British cuisine with sea views, offering full English and Irish breakfast buffets. Sunday carvery is available from 12:00 to 14:00 with lamb, gammon, and turkey. Afternoon tea and bar food are served throughout the day in the lounge or sun lounge.

The hotel offers daily organized social activities for guests, including line dancing weekends and live entertainment on select evenings. Opposite the Bandstand, guests can watch free shows from their sea view rooms. A ballroom on the lower level is available for private events and parties.

Pets are welcome for a £10 daily charge, and the hotel has accessible entrances with a lift to all floors. On-street parking permits are available from reception for £2.30 per day. The 24-hour front desk offers luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and wake-up calls.
