Guests can also book a unique vintage-style afternoon tea served on mismatched china. A hidden walled garden provides an outdoor setting for breakfast and afternoon tea during warmer months.

The hotel's interior spaces and walled garden can accommodate wedding receptions and business meetings for small groups. On-site event coordination and catering are provided by the hotel staff.

Recognition: Best Breakfast Award from Visit England

“The art collection distinguishes this five-star boutique, infusing character into each of its eleven uniquely styled rooms, and the dedication to breakfast, including both full English and vegetarian options, echoes a commitment to traditional hospitality; plus, its garden offers a quiet contrast to Brighton's lively seafront. I noticed that this setting is a sophisticated launchpad for exploring the Brighton/Hove boundary, blending artistic charm with seaside accessibility. It's an intimate spot with local flavor.”

the location was acceptable, providing easy access to local restaurants..

I found the bathroom to be quite outdated. The fixtures showed considerable wear. breakfast disappointed me. The continental options seemed limited, consisting mainly of fruit and cereal. the temperature of the food was barely warm.

Acceptable stay with a few issues

disruptive noise limited room service

The noise from other guests was disruptive at times. I could hear conversations and movement quite clearly through the walls, especially late at night. The room service menu was also limited. It lacked several common items and the preparation was slow on one occasion.

decent stay

bathroom size beach proximity water temperature lack of privacy

The room decor was beautiful, and it included a huge bathroom. I appreciated its proximity to the beach and the kindness of the proprietor. The location near the beach was good. Everything was nearby.

The water temperature was not very hot . I was there during an art festival weekend and was not informed when I booked. People walked around upstairs viewing art outside the rooms. It didn't feel very private.
