Really liked it. Slightly quirky and definitely family run. Loved the style of building (Victorian square) and location - 3min walk to town and beach. Rooms have a personal touch and makes you feel really welcome, and not part of a chain. Our room had a bath in it and breakfast was delivered to the room as requested bang on... More

I booked this hotel for 3 of our surveyors who stayed here on 14/5/12 for 1 night. I booked last minute & the service was excellent from the start. The owner was so professional, polite, and friendly. He went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute booking and everything even down to emailing the invoice and texting our surveyors...

Nice location on a square with no passing traffic, close to the beach and town centre. Owners were really friendly and helpful when we asked for advice about places to eat etc. Highlight was the breakfast, which you can have in bed, and is worth staying for alone. Room was nice and very clean, although the bathroom in room 1... More

I can't say enough good things about this adorable little B&B that's two minutes from the sea and brings you breakfast in bed as standard. I stayed in room 4, which was a good size with a shower, double bed, hair dryer, balcony, free wi-fi, basically all the needs of a girl travelling alone fulfilled. There was a mini fridge... More

We booked this hotel following recommendations from my parents and sister and were not disappointed! We were met with a friendly reception from the owners who were extremely helpful and obliging. We stayed in room 10 with the bath, which is a good size and nicely decorated to a good standard. The hotel is a great base for exploring Brighton,... More

Booked this place last minute and from a fistful of b&bs all in the same price range but it turned out to be the best place either me and my partner has ever stayed at. Clearly for the price it's not luxury accommodation, but our room was clean and bright, was decorated well (with a much appreciated Beatles print on... More

Brilliant breakfasts which took us way past lunch. Really friendly and ideal for our two day family visit. We took two rooms with our 13 and 15 year old children in one and us in the other (the beds were especially comfortable). There was plenty of space and we felt very at home. Ideal location too. We will be back. More

I kind of new before booking room was small but WOW! It was tiny. Main gripe was en-suite. I kid you not it was the size of a wardrobe. When sat on loo the sink is inches from your face and you can touch your elbows on both walls without lifting you arms much at all. Cleanliness was poor, I... More

May I first apologise if you did not enjoy your stay however are glad you enjoyed your comfy bed and super breakfast. In response to the negativities, I would like to point out that we have 11 rooms of which 3 are small. The other rooms are bigger as are the en suites. When you checked out (during my 1st... More
