Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Room was clean and well equipped.
We enjoyed our stay. Staff were exceptional and couldn’t be more obliging and helpful. We were even able to grab a shower before we left for the long journey home. 5 stars!
The stay was very good. The room was nice. I like the fact there are codes on the doors rather than having to worry about a key. Only minor issue is that the WiFi didn’t work.
This was an attempt to put a modern air bnb approach to an old hotel industry.
Reception was manned only when you called, entry was by digital number pads and the rooms were quiet.
Centrally located and walking distance to the seafront. Will definitively use again.

A fab property in a fantastic location, beach front 2 mins walk, town centre 5 mins walk,
Thank you for a lovely weekend 🤗
Great b&b option in Eastbourne. Roy was absolutely fantastic with the communication and the room was perfect for a weekend stay.
Close to the seafront and very quiet.
I think they have made a great job of providing comfortable conditions for the clients of Mowbury court hotel.....Really good breakfast with a variety of cereal ..pastries ..cooked breakfast and extras...warm friendly staff making sure your stay is home to home
I stayed at the Mowbray to see the Sussex Coast and Kent. The hotel proved to be a great choice. My room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. I had an easy walk to Eastbourne’s board walk, great local places to eat and a nice building btw.
A lovely two night stay. In a great location, close to restaurants, pier and beach. Parking is great too. Breakfast is lovely as are the staff. Arrival instructions are very
clear. Room was compact, although fine for us.
King size bed was 2 old singles pushed together with a wafer thin double quilt which was smaller than the bed. Old flat pillows. Room was freezing cold. No towels. Cold showers with mould all over the tile grout. Won’t book again

Ideally located for eating out and sea front strolls.
Basic hotel , easy parking, good breakfast however the housekeeping in the rooms could be improved especially in the bathrooms, toilet brush disgraceful !! . Blinds also thick in dust and tv unwatchable as signal kept going.

Didn’t get what we booked
Booked a superior triple room which should have had a separate sofa bed and partial sea view, was given a standard double room with a view of the theatre inland. The bathroom is so tiny you cannot comfortably dry yourself after showering without leaving the bathroom. Stayed two nights, no clean towels after first night, quilt had a urine stain, blinds dirty. We regularly visit Eastbourne, first and last stay here
It was my 2nd stay in Mowbray. Very friendly and lovely hotel. I think I booked last available room, small single bed one. Even though it was very small, it was furnished in a way it was very convenient and comfortable for my short stay. Large windows give a spacey feeling. Small en-suite bathroom could use a little bit of renovation but everything was in working order so no issues there. Staff was super nice and accommodating.
Great location, 3 minutes from the sea, 10 minutes walk from the train station

It’s very old fashion hotel, which I have prepared for that. The condition of the property is worst than I expect. The size of room is just like London. You probably could find something better if you book advance somewhere else in Eastbourne.
Everything in the room was very old and not very clean. The towels had holes in them. The bathroom and shower were very narrow and difficult to move around in for two petite women. The shower pressure was very low, the toilet was poorly designed and set up. There was noone at reception whenever we were at the property. One of the windows could not be opened, which made our top level room very hot and stuffy! It was not a 4 star experience as labeled in Expedia.
