The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne is a five-star hotel located on the seaside, and I booked a romantic getaway to have a much-needed break. A bottle of champagne, chocolates, and strawberries awaited us in the room along with a gift of Molton Brown products. There is an outdoor pool, although I forgot to pack my beach-wear. I enjoyed a tasty three-course dinner and breakfast and drinks outdoors on the terrace.
The Great Hall was used to host concerts and broadcast on the radio in the 1920s and 1930s. It was regarded as one of the best venues for acoustics.
The bedroom had a side view of the sea, which was lovely with a beautiful breeze coming off the sea. This was so lovely.
Two swans made out of towels and flower petals greeted us.
Various mocktails and cocktails were enjoyed with a book.
Dinner consisted of tomato soup and rolls to start. I ordered the chicken risotto, and the bloke had steak, which was a Sunday roast option. I had lemon dessert, and the bloke had a chilled chocolate dessert. The food was very good. The restaurant was very hot, however, and I was feeling too hot.
For breakfast, I had pancakes with a side of bacon. The bloke had the English breakfast.
Overall, it was an amazing stay but over too quickly. I would love to visit it again, especially as the check-in is 4:00pm, so you really need to use extra time to take the full advantage of the facilities.
