Overall faultless place to stay

Highly recommended Guest House. Perfect to visit Brighton and nearby places such as Lewes and Chichester. Super helpful and knowledgeable hosts in a charming house. Spacious room, lots of special extras like daily fresh fruit. Spotlessly clean, everywhere. Excellent value for money.

Highly recommended

We’ve never stayed in a guest house before and was pleasantly surprised. This place is exactly what it says on the tin! Spotlessly clean, hosts are friending. Bed & pillows were comfortable. If I had to be really picky I’d say the shower was a little tight. But other than that we would 100% book here again next time. Thanks guys great place

Litet men bra hotell

Ett litet 'hotell' med endast 6-7 rum skötta av ägarna själva, Scott & Helen. Bra läge nära till både stranden och restaurangtäta Lanes med massa olika små gator och gränder. Rummet vi hade var mot en livlig gata nedanför så öronproppar rekommenderas. Kylen var liten och stod direkt på golvet så det blev en del krypande för att komma åt våra kylda pilsner. Sängen var stor och skön. Den dagliga städningen var exemplarisk.
