Excellent location for a trip to an event at Brighton Dome (just 10mins away) and stones throw to the beach. Check in is at the pub adjoining. The couple who run the hotel gave us two rooms situated together which was really thoughtful and the rooms were really lovely, bright and spacious. Really enjoyed out stay. I would recommend to make sure you confirm your booking well in advance of your stay.

Stayed one night for a gig at the Brighton Pavilion. Parking wasn't easy but they do have permits. Breakfast wasn't available but there's plenty of other options near there. All in all a good place to stay.

It was great that this property was just a few hundred meters from the beach front and was pet friendly. The facilities were just fine. The area wasn't quiet because it's a busy area full of bars and restaurants, but with the windows shut, it was fine. I would stay here again if I wanted to be right in the middle of the action at the Brighton beach front.

We were in a basement superior twin. It was an excellent sized room, with 2 double beds & the shower was lovely. Just bare in mind you're nextdoor to a pub, so there is noise. Best thing is, can't beat them, join them!! You're within walking distance to everything! So once you've found a parking place, just forget about it & walk everywhere. Parking is on street with a pass you pay £10 for, which covers you for 24hrs. Overall a good stay & would stay again!

I loved that the hotel was close to the lanes and the seafront, there are lots of places to eat nearby too! The owner was lovely and was nice that they had the pub next door too so I did pop by for a drink. Inside the hotel had what I needed like kettle, tea, coffee and hot chocolate and the only thing I can think of that would of made it would of if it had a mini fridge so I could store drinks etc inside. I had a wonderful time here with no problems at all and I would stay again.

Property good position and next to their pub , check in took a long time and problems finding booking do we bought some beers in their pub but unfortunately glasses were not clean. .. rooms where clean . We paid through expedia for room and breakfast rate ..unfortunately despite the delicious menu displayed on bed side tables and proimse of beakfast for all guests , double gusets per room where paid for but no one got up to open pub and give us breakfast..so we had to arrange a taxi to go elsewhere.. When comtacted b and b about the poor service no answer or offer of recompense was given .. Disappointing as this did not feel professional or valueing your paying customers 😕
