Exquisite Hove Seaside Family Accommodation

Fresh from renovation works and renamed by our 3 year old after frequent visits in the past year!
Gorgeous Brunswick Beach Cottage is located in the heart of beautiful, vibrant and eclectic Hove, just off the seafront and a short 2 minute walk from Hove's high quality independent shops, cafés, restaurants, bars but still also walking distance to the exuberant central Brighton! 15 minutes walk to Brighton's central shopping district and bar culture.

Brunswick Beach Cottage is always great place of fun, whether it is for a family event or a gathering of friends, it's airy space has party feeling. As a family we love getting there as it is so different to our Country home, you feel you are in a holiday mood the moment you go through the door!

We have just completed some renovation work to incorporate our growing family; with a teenage hangout area with floor sofa that pulls out to a large sleeping area. This room opens up to the small courtyard area with bifold doors enabling this small room to feel spacious and airy listening to the seagulls above.

We have updated the master bedroom with a beautiful mural wall, new bedroom furniture for holiday needs and a deep pile carpet has been fitted throughout the bottom floor.

The bathroom has also had a facelift with pink hexagonal wall tiles and a marble herringbone floor laid, giving the room a warm and relaxing tone.

Brunswick Beach Cottage is full of history; built in 1822 and was originally the drawing rooms of Charles Busby, the internationally acclaimed architect who designed the neoclassical Brunswick Town, adjacent to which Brunswick Beach House is situated.

Today, Brunswick Beach House offers guests a unique and memorable holiday experience.

The main living area is encompassed by a stunning arched ceiling, which was rediscovered in 2001 when the property was featured on the British television series 'Grand Designs Indoors' presented by Kevin McCloud. Open plan with triple aspect windows, it is a fabulous space in which to socialise, eat and drink, or simply relax whilst enjoying the Smart / 3D television, Sound Bar and Lutron lighting system.

The cottage offers cosy nooks for adults and children, respectively. The master bedroom contains a luxurious king-sized four poster bed and has a contemporary design. In the second bedroom, there are playful and fun bunk beds for the kids to enjoy, as well as a funky alcove incorporating a double bed and a further television.

Brunswick Beach house is designed for our family with age ranges from 14 yrs to 3 yrs so we have made sure there is something for little people to do whilst older ones kick back. There are a range of toys and puzzles including a doll's house, duplo, play kitchen, small ride on car, pram, books and a magnetic wall to keep children of various ages engaged.


Brunswick Beach Cottage is fabulous, and is always a place of fun. It is well suited for families but we have accommodated many groups of adults for short stays. Sleeping arrangements are;

Bedroom 1: Sleeps 2 adults in a super king bed.
Bedroom 2: Sleeps 3 adults and 2 children in a double bed, a triple bunk with a adult single and 2 junior beds (160 x 70cm, average single is 190 x 90cm)
Garden room: sleeps 2 adults on a floor sofa bed


Brunswick Beach Cottage is a skip, hop and jump from the beautiful promenade. With the sea one side and Hove lawns the other, where you can play ball games or visit one of the many events often taking place in Brighton and Hove.

The wide promenade is a great place for young and old. Directly opposite the cottage the seafront is relatively unspoilt with buildings, just the odd cafe. However within 5 minutes you will reach the iconic (burnt) West Pier where you will find the newly built British airways i360, along with a arcade of new shops.

There is a lovely play park just here and a stretch of new shops. Continue a little further and you are in the heart of the Brighton beach bar culture.
The cottage is just over 15 minutes walk to the Brighton Centre, 20 minutes to the start of the South laines and just under 30 minutes to Brighton Pier.

Parking
There is no parking with Brunswick Beach Cottage, however there are pay and display options around the cottage. The cheapest is on the seafront (2 minutes from the cottage) at £10 for 24 hours.
Previous guests have also reserved parking about 3 streets away at £15 for 24 hours. They said it worked well. This would guarantee you a parking space in advance in summer months.

When we go for more than 3 days we often park out of town for free and then make the 20min walk back as you don't need a car once you are there.

Lovely family get away
We had an enjoyable long weekend stay at the cottage. The location is absolutely perfect and in such a nice part of Hove. We had a 4 year old in our party who loved all the toys on offer, especially the outside play house. Would definitely consider staying again. Thank you!

Fabulous experience in cozy Brighton cottage
My daughter and son-in-law and their four children stayed in Sarah's cottage for nine days over Christmas. Right from the get-go when I first contacted Sarah about renting her place communicating with her was a breeze, she responded quickly and answered all my questions. Very rarely does a place exceed expectations but Sarah's place certainly did. First of all it was larger than I expected and so my daughter's six member family was very comfortable and in fact the place could have accommodated more people as there were two couches that could have been used as beds. The place was spotless and Sarah had decorated it so nicely for Christmas with a tree and everything which was so nice for children away from home at Christmas. She had also left a lovely welcome gift for them to enjoy. The kitchen is very well appointed with lots of dishes, pots and pans and cutlery; you could easily cook for a family or large group. The cottage is beautifully situated for exploring Brighton and just a block up from the beach. There is every amenity you could need close by including grocery stores and laundromats. I can highly recommend Sarah's place.

Lovely central stay!
Sarah couldn’t have been more accommodating for our group. An absolutely gorgeous house suitable for a group of 6 of us in a perfect location a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk in the centre of town. Even though we were a party of adults we could see how the property would be well suited for a family stay. Fantastic space and very comfortable place to stay, would highly recommend and the welcome bottle of Prosecco was a lovely touch! Would definitely stay again!

Awesome Place and Location!
Great host! We were greeted with Prosecco and mince pies on the arrival. The whole experience from the beginning to the end was very straightforward and professional. We made breakfast every morning and the kitchen was equipped with all the essentials. The cottage was clean, tidy, comfortable, nicely decorated, very homely and quiet! The beds were very comfortable. The bunk beds though are for little children. We had two 10-year-old kids with us and these were too small for them. We had an early morning, afternoon and late evening walks by the beautiful promenade! Would highly recommend! We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Great holiday home for families
Cannot rate this gorgeous property highly enough. Beautifully decorated cottage. The children loved the triple bunk beds and the play area downstairs. Lots of toys to keep them amused. Fantastic open plan living space for the family to relax in the evenings. Great location. Beach and shops only 5 minute walk away. Property owner Sarah was extremely helpful and the prosecco and cakes on the arrival made a lovely welcome. We all felt very at home. My 3 year old cried on returning home as she thought Gorgeous Brunswick was her new home!!! Would definitely love to stay here again.

The welcome Prosecco and cakes were a lovely touch!! Would definitely recommend to others - the kids loved all being in a room together and there was still plenty of space for all 8 of us! Thanks Sarah for all your help! Hopefully we’ll be back again soon xx
