Make Eastbourne your winter wonderland

20th November 2009 Print

This winter visitors to Eastbourne can put their skates on and step into a wonderland of rejuvenating breaks, spectacular countryside and discounted stays for a New Year getaway with a difference.

With a fantastic range of accommodation offering themed breaks this winter, visitors can opt to make the most of the outdoors with a personalised fitness break, take in the wildlife on Eastbourne’s doorstep with a birdwatching weekend, or enjoy some sporting action with an afternoon game at Priory Lane and an overnight stop in the UK resort that boasts year round sunshine.

This winter Eastbourne offers many inspiring ways to spend a break on the south coast with its attractions and hotels and guesthouses teaming up to make sure visitors have a packed stay from start to finish.

Eastbourne Borough Council Cabinet Member for Tourism, Cllr Susan Morris said “Eastbourne makes a wonderful place for a winter holiday with plenty of ways to kick start New Year’s resolutions, unwind after the frantic run up to Christmas, or simply enjoy the quieter months of the year. Whether visitors just want to relax next to a log fire and be waited on all day long, or get on their feet and explore the new South Downs National Park, Eastbourne makes the perfect winter destination for everyone. With our official tourism website VisitEastbourne.com providing details of several package stays as well as information on all of the town’s attractions, it’s the ideal place to start planning your winter getaway!”

Eastbourne’s 4-star silver-rated guest accommodation, the Guesthouse East, is tempting visitors with a 20% discount when they stay for 2 nights or more this winter from Sunday – Thursday. Offering guests the option to go self-catering or enjoy bed and breakfast, visitors can choose from six modern suites with the guesthouse also hosting a range of themed weekends this winter.

Book a fitness weekend with the Running Inn and shed those extra pounds with a vigorous workout over the South Downs before cooling down at the Guesthouse East, or opt for a wine-tasting break and explore some of Sussex’ best vineyards with an escorted day out courtesy of English Vine Tours.

Visitors after a break where they get to watch some sporting action rather than have a go themselves can book now for the football breaks offered by Eastbourne Borough FC and Premier Inn Eastbourne. With a ticket to a Blue Square Premier match and overnight stay on offer at just £38 per person, book online at VisitEastbourne.com to watch the nation’s favourite game.

Those wanting to make the most of the new South Downs National Park on Eastbourne’s doorstep can take in some of the resort’s wildlife too with new birdwatching weekends offered by the 4-star guest accommodation, the Cherry Tree. Visited by world renowned travel writer Bill Bryson last year, the Guest House is offering visitors the chance to head out to some of the best twittering spots in and around Eastbourne.

And if visitors simply want to chill out and unwind in the New Year then Eastbourne’s 5-star Grand Hotel, fondly regarded as the White Palace, provides the perfect antidote. Book their Grand Winter Getaway from just £99 per person per night and look forward to cosying up by the roaring fire in the Great Hall, dining in the Garden Restaurant and enjoying a pampering treatment in the renowned health club or a dip in the heated indoor pool.
