Stayed here whilst visiting friends.  The room was a bit dated, but it was very clean and comfortable and we had a beautiful view from our room (Room 1)
The staff are really friendly and welcoming.  We will definitely stay here next time we visit.

Lovely little place

This is a little gem of a place with great value and customer service from the moment you arrive till you leave. The rooms are clean and well maintained and as others have mentioned the breakfast is superb. The breakfast service was excellent 
There is free Wi-Fi and parking but you can park on the street you only minutes from town and the seafront. 
It is a working pub so expect some noise but it was not an issue 
Tip if you child is at Uni in Brighton it only 10 miles away and better value than Brighton

Great value Great Service try it

My brother and I booked for a special Sunday lunch last Sunday. It was excellent.  There was a good choice of roasts, the portions were generous but not overwhelming,  well cooked and delicious. My brother had the roast chicken and I had the pork belly.  We followed up with a gorgeous Baileys cheesecake, again generous portions but not too big. And the service was great, very helpful and friendly staff. Would highly recommend the White Lion.

Excellent Sunday Lunch.

Very friendly welcome, they allow check in a lot earlier that big brand hotels which suited me. Clean and functional room for single occupancy with everything you need. 
Pub downstairs has a good selection of beers on tap and again a welcoming atmosphere. I missed out out on trying the evening meal, but staff and clientele were more than helpful in guiding me to a number of alternative restaurants within walking distance.
WiFi worked without any issues. TV channels were missing a few, but probably just needs a retune, no dramas.
Booked the night before, checked in just after 1pm and the Breakfast included was perfect to set me up for a drive back up north that day.
Very close to walk to the sea front to get a lungful before setting off on your next journey.

Clean, Friendly, Great Value

Booked in for 3 days while visiting family in Seaford. 
I stayed in one of the single rooms as there was only myself and the dog.
The room was perfect for what I needed.  It was en suite, tea and coffee making facilities and a comfy bed.  
Its a very friendly establishment, staff are lovely, the owners are super and very involved.
The breakfast has to be the best full English I've had on my travels. Plenty of food, and good quality. 
Very local to the beach and to shops and only a short walk into town
I also had a meal in the restaurant and doing it to be veg good quality produce,well prepared and cooked to a very good standard.  Very reasonably priced as well. 
I will definitely make this my base when I visit family again, and, as the hotel is home to the Seaford Bonfire Society, I am intrigued to see the celebrations so will be returning in November 

3 night stay in a great place

The room had a seaview and lots of light. I was provided with shampoo, tea,coffee, water and
biscuits.  The bed was very comfy and I had a small table and 2 chairs to use. The TV had very limited channels  but had a good clear picture.  The team who cleaned were excellent and very helpful.  Breakfast was good and served with a smile and a reasonable amount of choice.  I will definitely be back.

A good choice 

The chef needs to be congratulated  as the  food is beautifully cooked and presented.  It is so nice to have vegetables served separately and not piled on your plate.  The restaurant has improved greatly and  can be highly recommended 

Sunday roasts

The room was ok: decent size and comfortable beds. However, it was impossible to get to sleep. Our room was over the Sports Bar. The music was very loud, and customers seemed to think it was acceptable to scream and shout loudly.  This continued way after the published closing time of 11.00pm. I accept it's a pub, but don't try to sell rooms directly over the bar. Also, the bath towels were tiny.  I love to support local businesses, but sadly I cannot recommend this place.

Too noisy to sleep

Staying here for the first time, it became quickly apparent that this is a popular pub and hotel. Friendly staff, good room, decent menu, good breakfast included in the price, very handy for the ferry that I was catching…… Will stay again………do be aware however, that the fire alarm is very strident….( take note the DJ who was asked not to use his smoke machine for a birthday party in part of the hotel)

Friendly hostelry, good food, and view of the sea !

We chose the hotel as we were catching an early morning ferry. There’s some renovation work going on and there was scaffolding around the building. Check-in was in the bar - there wasn’t much of a welcome, the member of staff was a bit offhand. She seemed friendlier later in the evening but first impressions count. The bedroom was clean but all the furniture is a bit tired. We had a poor night’s sleep. The bed, mattress and base are a long way past their best. Food is ok. We had a bar meal of well cooked, nicely presented fish and chips in the evening. The cooked breakfast was good. Some off-street parking is available.
