Eastbourne guesthouse invites guests to pick price
AN EASTBOURNE guesthouse is inviting guests to pitch their own prices. Guesthouse East is taking inspiration from Channel 4's Three in a Bed series and welcoming prospective guests to name their own price.
But unlike the TV show where the guests pay at the end of their visit based on how much they feel the room is worth, Guesthouse East is offering new visitors the chance to Name Your Price by calling and pitching how much they'd be willing to pay before booking their stay.
Eastbourne Borough Council Cabinet Member for Tourism Councillor Neil Stanley said, "This is an absolutely fantastic idea and something that I really hope will catch the public's imagination and get visitors contacting the guesthouse to name their price!
"With Eastbourne receiving some brilliant coverage over the past few weeks including GMTV confirming that we are officially the sunniest place and being named the UK's Most Holiday-Friendly Destination by Virgin Money Travel Insurance, Eastbourne finds itself very well placed to encourage domestic visitors looking for a break.
"It is excellent news that our hoteliers are using these factors to their advantage and finding quirky ways to attract new visitors to our beautiful resort."
Name Your Price will be run on selected dates over the summer months with visitors new to Eastbourne being offered the opportunity to pitch their price for a double suite in the stylish Grade II-listed Regency villa, with the chance to bag considerable savings on the rooms that would normally cost 90 for two sharing during the peak season.
Carl Stanger, who owns and runs the Guesthouse East with wife Sarah, said "With summer hotting up, we've just started to roll out this new promotion and the response already has been brilliant.
"Visitors feel that they're getting a bargain and we are happy that we can hopefully bring new people to Eastbourne."
The Name Your Price offer will next be run for stays at The Guesthouse East on June 25 and visitors can start pitching now for an early summer getaway.
