About
Welcome to The Sheldon — a unique, independent B&B where hospitality meets heart. Located on a quiet street just 328 ft from Eastbourne’s seafront and a short stroll from the theater district, Towner Gallery, and dozens of great pubs and restaurants, we offer a truly memorable stay. We’re not a chain, and we’re proud of it. Our 20-room Victorian property blends comfort, creativity, and community. Expect original murals and local art throughout, a colorful lounge and breakfast room, and a kaleidoscope of thoughtful details. Start your day with a generous breakfast — including hot dishes made to order — and unwind in our honesty bar with locally brewed beer, cider, wine, and snacks. Enjoy our sunny new gardens with outdoor seating, or sip single-origin coffee and organic Clipper teas in our cozy lounge. We offer free private parking for all guests, hypoallergenic Yorkshire-made toiletries, and a certified plastic-free commitment. You’ll also meet CK, our resident Cavapoo, who’s as charming as he is cuddly. With vintage flair, sustainability at its core, and a mission to make everyone feel at home in the world, The Sheldon is a space where art, purpose, and people come together. Whether you’re here to hike the Seven Sisters, catch a show, or simply rest well by the sea — we’d love to welcome you.
