Deceived into booking by the 4 Stars on net website http://www.4hotels.co.uk. This hotel does not have any Tourist Board Stars. There are dirty carpets everywhere, bathrooms in need of refurbishment, no rails on baths but lots of mould, flushing toilet made whole place shake.........Rooms extremely dingy and televisions pre remote control and pictures snowy. Although breakfast was good, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. A pity as this hotel is opposite the lovely old Pevensey Castle.

The hotel was what we thought it would be a very old converted building, attractive and in keeping with the area. It is on a road but during our two night stay the traffic did not bother us at all. The room was spacious and had tea and coffee making facilities but does need at the very least their bathrooms updating and new carpets. The carpets in the hall are very tired and dirty. Having said that the staff are very friendly and the bar is quite livey in the evenings which having spent the day in Eastbourne was a very nice atmosphere to come back to and enjoy a beverage or two! It is true that you can hear everyone's movement but as this was at a civilised time it was not a problem for us. One thing I would say is that the food in the restaurant in the evening is overpriced for the calibre. We paid £21.95 for two courses of what I thought was fairly mundane food. My other half orderd crispy pork and it was not crispy at all ! Have your meal in the bar. The bar food we saw being served looked very good and was reasonably priced. All in all I think for the money and the staff its not a bad place to stay at all. We enjoyed the experience.

We were down in Sussex for a three day weekend and spent 2 in an amazing B&B near Polegate. I fancied moving on to try somewhere new on the last night and so booked the Priory Court Hotel. They sounded super friendly on the 'phone which I thought was a great sign.
I have to say that I regretted booking tho'. It is essentially a pub with rooms above. The property is on a road, and half the bedrooms face it. There are no non-smoking rooms. We took an en-suite double that was tiny and with very tired decoration. The bed was comfy, but unfortunately every time someone shut a door the whole hotel reverberated.
And it was so prescriptive: breakfast only between 8-9 (on a bank holiday Sunday!). If you are checking out before 9 you must pay the night before. Check out by 10h00.
Really tacky place, smelt of stale cooking and cost £75 for the room. Sadly I wish I'd booked the Travellodge in Eastbourne. It at least looked clean.
There are so many nicer places in Sussex (Pevensey is not that great either), please don't stay at the Priory Court.

We had an excellent time at this hotel. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. Staff was very friendly. Location was fantastic for area. Travelling with our two small children, we had a family room which was nice. Would definately recommend.
