"Well-appointed rooms in a neat, bright house twice as large as the adjoining two up, two downs. Guests get self-serve breakfast (abundant but no meat), the use of a living room and a small yard, and the company of unusually expressive twin cats. The host is helpful, accomodating and super-cool. Bus stations, restaurants and shops are a few minutes’ uphill walk from the house. The buses go to Royal Pavilion (near the beach), Brighton Station and all over the town."

Self-contained cabin with stunning views!

10/10 Excellent
"I don't think I can praise this place enough. It's even better than in the photos. It is beautifully decorated, pristinely clean, and has lovely welcoming touches throughout the place, including treats, toys and a bowl for my dog. Communication was clear and easy before and during my stay, and when I bumped into Rosie a couple of times she was absolutely lovely (as was Nellie the spaniel!) I loved it so much here for my first two weeks that I immediately booked again to extend my stay. The washing machine and cleaning products available mean you can keep the place clean and tidy. I am sure you can request a cleaner if you felt the need. The shower isn't particularly powerful, but it's only noticeable because the rest of the studio is so excellent. Both I and my dog have felt completely at ease here. The bed is comfortable, the towels are extremely soft, and the kitchenette is well equipped enough that you don't miss having a hob. The milk frother felt like such an add-on that I can't imagine not having a cappuccino each morning with that gorgeous view over the downs. This area of Brighton still has free street parking, but the shops aren't far, the bus routes into town are easy and so many green walking routes are available just a few streets along. The golf course and Wild Park are wonderful and can take you straight up to Stanmer Park, while Withdean Park has a fully enclosed large dog park.If you're visiting Brighton, this is the place to book."
