Historic 12th-century inn in Eastbourne's Old Town
Amenities & Services
The Lamb Inn offers an on-site tennis court for active guests and hosts live music events several nights each week. Guests can request a guided tour of the medieval crypt beneath the inn, which dates from the 12th century. The property is pet-friendly and provides free parking on site for guests arriving by car.
Accommodations
Rooms include Family Room with Bath, Deluxe Double Room with Shower, and Standard Double Room, all with air-conditioning and private bathrooms. Each room comes with tea and coffee-making facilities and a small fridge stocked with fresh milk and water. Family suites offer two separate bedrooms and a seating area on a small landing.
Location & Surroundings
The inn is located 2.2 km from Eastbourne Beach and 2.3 km from Eastbourne Pier, placing it within walking distance of the seafront. A bus stop directly outside the property provides easy access to Eastbourne town centre, and the Seven Sisters walking trails. The South Downs National Park entrance is minutes away, and a Waitrose supermarket operates next door.
Dining & Breakfast
A full English or Irish breakfast is included in every stay, with locally sourced bacon and fresh ingredients. Evening menus feature dishes like the homemade Sussex Smokie pie and locally brewed Harvey's Best Bitter and Southdown Harvest ale. Breakfast and dinner both receive consistently high marks from guests for quality and value.
Entertainment & Activities
