The best bed and breakfasts in Brighton

Tucked down a quiet residential street just moments from the Brighton seafront, The Twenty One offers award-winning boutique accommodation. The recently refurbished rooms include en-suite bathrooms, complimentary toiletries, and other modern amenities, and a full English breakfast is served daily. The convenient location means you're just a short walk from local landmarks such as the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Pier.

Snooze's non-descript Victorian façade masks a playful, 1970s-inspired interior bursting with bold colours, animal prints, and funky personality. The boutique B&B houses a range of cosy en-suite rooms, including throwback suites and a family room. A boxed breakfast is available to order from the nearby Egg & Spoon, and the beach is just minutes away.

The Ginger Pig is regularly listed among Brighton's best gastropubs, but it also offers boutique B&B accommodation. Above the refined pub you'll find 11 understated rooms offering a dash of low-key luxury. Among other comfortable amenities, they include Hypnos mattresses, freestanding baths, and a pre-mixed cocktail waiting in your mini-bar. Breakfast is offered in the restaurant, and for longer seaside stays, you can also book one of the mews houses just behind the pub.

The 27 Brighton guesthouse dates back to the 19th century and its decor takes inspiration from the nearby Royal Pavilion for a plush, period-appropriate setting. There are five rooms to choose from, all furnished with contemporary amenities like smart TVs and Hypnos mattresses, and you can take your homemade breakfast in the elegant dining room. 

One of the smallest pubs in the area, The Bow Street Runner has a history going back to the 19th century. These days, it's a proper old-school pub run by the friendly Sue and her team – no loud music, live sports, or fruit machines pinging away in the corner. If you fancy making a night of it, the pub has a few cosy B&B rooms upstairs, with a light continental breakfast included.

Set across four levels of a historic Georgian townhouse, A Room With a View offers a variety of stylish rooms for a refined seaside stay. Contemporary comforts such as smart TVs, soft bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries ensure a relaxing stay, and the rare perk of free private parking is a nice bit of added value. The B&B's excellent location has the beach at its doorstep and key Brighton sights within easy walking distance.
