Hospitality<br />
HIGH STANDARDS<br />
Every hotel, guest accommodation and self-catering provider<br />
featured in this Guide has agreed to meet the stringent<br />
standards laid down by <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Hospitality Association or<br />
has been quality assessed by either VisitEngland Assessment<br />
Services or the AA.<br />
PRICES SHOWN IN ADVERTISEMENTS:<br />
Rates shown are generally within a ‘from and to’ price range<br />
and usually reflect seasonal variations.<br />
HOTELS AND GUEST ACCOMMODATION<br />
Prices indicated are per room per night based on two people<br />
sharing a standard double room (unless otherwise stated).<br />
SELF-CATERING<br />
Prices indicated are per unit, per week (unless otherwise stated).<br />
THE SMALL PRINT<br />
The information contained in all advertisements has been<br />
supplied by advertisers and as such <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Borough Council<br />
(EBC) cannot accept responsibility for any errors or omissions.<br />
We recommend you confirm all details, prices, facilities, services<br />
and any special requirements prior to booking to ensure they<br />
meet your requirements as changes can occur. <strong>Eastbourne</strong><br />
Borough Council (EBC), as publishers of this Guide, cannot<br />
enter into any disputes concerning tariffs or contractual<br />
disputes. If you need to cancel your booking you must let the<br />
accommodation provider know. A booking forms an immediate<br />
contract and cancellation fees may apply. Your contract is<br />
with the accommodation provider even if you have used<br />
Visit<strong>Eastbourne</strong>.com to assist with your booking.<br />
RATINGS<br />
For serviced accommodation there are two schemes to show<br />
the quality, comfort, cleanliness, services and facilities of an<br />
accommodation provider. Within both of the hotel and guest<br />
accommodation schemes, you may find ‘Star Ratings’ (1-5 stars)<br />
which have been awarded by either the AA or VisitEngland<br />
Assessment Services (if the hotel or guest accommodation has<br />
elected to join either scheme). These ratings are awarded by<br />
applying the quality standards for each scheme with different<br />
schemes for hotels and guest accommodation and with the<br />
more stars indicating the higher the quality.<br />
HOTELS<br />
Hotels are larger properties and are managed on a formal<br />
and structured basis. They must offer evening meals and be<br />
licensed to serve alcohol. As a minimum standard all rooms must<br />
be en-suite or have a private bathroom. They will normally have a<br />
fully manned reception and offer a fuller range of food, beverage<br />
and leisure facilities. Some hotels also offer entertainment.<br />
GUEST ACCOMMODATION<br />
Guest accommodation properties are often smaller<br />
than hotels with perhaps more of a family home feel and<br />
approach with a less structured service. They will often have<br />
the owners on site. They range from one or two bedroomed<br />
bed and breakfasts or medium sized town houses to larger<br />
guest houses, which offer similar services to hotels.<br />
SELF CATERING<br />
These establishments have been either quality assessed by<br />
VisitEngland Assessment Services or the AA, or meet the<br />
standards set out by <strong>Eastbourne</strong> Hospitality Association.<br />
All ratings are correct at time of print (Nov 2017) but are subject to<br />
change. Please contact assessing body to confirm grading status.<br />
