Company info

We’re Steve and Renee — global citizens turned B&B hosts with a passion for people, art, and social good. After careers in international aid with the UN, sustainability, and creative ventures, we put down roots in Eastbourne to reimagine hospitality. The Sheldon isn’t just where we live — it’s a living canvas for community, comfort, and conversation. Whether it’s a guest’s smile, an artist’s brushstroke, or a shared story over tea, we believe travel should feel like coming home — just without the washing up.

Property info

Welcome to The Sheldon — a unique, independent B&B where hospitality meets heart. Located on a quiet street just 100m from Eastbourne’s seafront and a short stroll from the theatre 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 colourful 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 cosy 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.
