We are a firm believer of using private lets where possible, instead of paying multinational Hotel chains for accommodation. The price of this penthouse was approximately the same price of a hotel that was far less superior. The difference is you have a whole penthouse with a balcony, try getting a hotel room with balcony with amenities including sky TV for the same price.
The whole apartment is snug, it has everything you need, it is like a home from home. The view from the balcony is amazing, uninterrupted views throughout.
The kitchen is well appointed, although we didn’t use it all that much as we are foodies who eat out on every occasion possible.
The bathroom is well equipped with additional under-floor heating which is a nice touch on the feet in the morning.
Bedroom, although fairly small is suffice for a holiday stay with cupboards to accommodate a trips worth of clothing, TV with sky and a heater if required.
The lounge/diner is a good size with Sky TV, a good size settee and a small table for dining. Views from the lounge and bedroom face straight out to the sea front and on a nice day with the balcony doors open you can hear the waves on the sea which I find very soothing indeed.
Overall the accommodation was everything we wished for and more. Couldn’t fault the Art Deco building and the accommodation within.
The location is just west, up from the main pier, nearer to the west pier. We were first a little worried and as we didn’t know the area we thought we would be quite far away from things to do and nearby shops and amenities, but that was far from the truth. There is plenty up this end and a walk along the promenade also takes you to many attractions.
If you are on that extra special stay, we would recommend The Gingerman restaurant which is literally a 2 min walk, we had an amazing tasting menu. We also had a great massage at The Little Jasmine Spa. We would also highly recommend the vegetarian restaurant Terre a Terre for afternoon tea. Don’t forget to take a walk through the North Laines for all those quirky shops.
Overall very happy with this stay, a big thank you to Olivia for making sure everything was just right on our stay and our anniversary. We would book again if we popped back to Brighton.
So instead of booking that Hotel, go book yourself into a lovely Art Deco Building and get yourself a penthouse. Make the stay that extra bit special, you won’t regret it.
Kind Regards
