    Nothing really - a slight damp smell on arrival but we just opened the patio door and it was fine.

    Very clean throughout, comfy beds and lovely big white towels. The location was perfect for exploring all the Brighton has to offer…and we loved the little garden…it was just perfect! Thank you Carey.

    It really is a charming cottage. It certainly lived up to expectations. The location is superb. It is near the Lanes shops, lots of cafes and restaurants and only a modest walk to the seafront. The terrace is very quiet considering it is in central Brighton and the small, sheltered garden is an added bonus.

    Nothing, really

    Lovely small house in a quiet and charming alley. Very nice with good space for a family of three, kitchen, laundry facilities eyc. In addition a nice little garden with sun when it comes out. Really fascinating how peaceful it is, while at the same time so central in the vibrant North Laine neighborhood. The host Carey was very helpful with answering any questions via the app.

    The light from the street lamp hanging outside one of the bedrooms shone throught the side of the blinds, making it difficult to get to sleep.

    Great location and really comfortable little house. It was cold when was unseasonably cold and wet when we visited Brighton but the easy-to-use central heating responded extremely quickly.

    The twitten was a bit busy this year, and some homes are renovating, so you hear construction at the moment, but I was out most days.

    The location is everything. Stores and restaurants at your footstep. Brighton station and bus stops also steps away. This is my second stay at the cottage, and will continue to be my stay when in Brighton. If you're looking to also just relax, the garden is peaceful. Carey is thorough and ensures you have a good stay. She cares about her place.

    I was attending an event in the Brighton Centre with my friend on Saturday 8th, so finding this 2-bedrooms cottage was perfect, as we didn’t want to share a bedroom. It was very clean and comfortable. The location was great, close to everything we needed, yet very quiet. The weather was lovely, so we were able to have breakfast in the garden, and we also did a spot of sunbathing, using the garden loungers in the shed. Instructions for check in and check out were very clear.

    There was nothing to dislike

    The cottage was aptly named ‘Charming’ it was well equipped & spotlessly clean, it was a treat to use the fluffy white bath towels, & sleep in immaculate white bedding, the cottage sits mid terrace along a narrow path, and is in a perfect location on the North Lanes, We were also lucky to see a couple of foxes sunning themselves in the garden. The host Carey was brilliant, liaising right from making my booking through to my vacating the cottage. The neighbours are very sociable too!! Thank you we really enjoyed our stay!!

    There are no negatives. The only thing I will say as a point of feedback is, if it was my property, I would remove the wooden shelf rack behind the bath, and put a slightly longer bath in there.

    The Host Carey was exceptional, excellent communication before and after. Links to car parking provided and all directions. Beautiful 2 bedroom character cottage in the heart of Brighton. Everything you need is provided. Extensive information folder which tells you how everything works etc. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious and had good storage space. In the kitchen, everything is there, from cutlery to large fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher etc. Impressive. The property is very clean and warm. Communal bins are a few minutes walk away. The garden looks lovely, I bet it is great in summer, but for us it was raining. We will definately stay here again, when next in Brighton. Ten out of Ten.

    Location of the property was very central. The quiet location meant that it was a little hidden and being on a pedestrian street ensures a good nights sleep.

    This isn't a criticism, but you'll need to factor in finding and paying for your own parking should you drive down. I used JustPark - which worked very well.

    The location is superb, and very close to the rail station, it is tucked away along a reasonably well lit passage in a charming run of terraced cottages. The property is really nice, compact with two decent sized double bedrooms and a very well appointed and new bathroom and kitchen-area. We didn't get the chance to use the garden, but it looked (from over the fence) just fine. It has everything you need for a short or longer stay.

    It would be nice to have a mirror in each bedroom rather than to share one in the hallway. The kitchen is well equipped. it would be better if there are more bowels ( to have cereals, soup etc )

    The location is brilliant. Only a short downhill walk from the station. There is a pub and an excellent cafe round the corner. Within 5 minutes, you can reach the high street and numerous independent shops in North Naine. The host Carey is very friendly and very responsible.

    Location, spaciousness and laundry was a plus! Loved the kitchen too. Having amenities like a dishwasher and two bedrooms was nice.
