Location

Hove has it all …

From Michelin starred restaurants to seafront shacks you can wander just five minutes from The Art House to explore what is on offer. If you are a keen swimmer, jogger or walker Hove promenade is just a block away. Here you can take a leisurely 20 minute walk to the i360 for views—on a clear day— to the Isle of Wight. Continue another 10 minutes to reach the Palace Pier and independent shopping in the Brighton Lanes.

We are also well located for the many annual events that Brighton has to offer, the Marathon, Gay Pride and Artists Open Houses which is part of the city wide cultural festival every May to name but a few. But seriously you could just stay in Hove. Less crowded and plenty to browse and do.

Each room comes with a comprehensive list of “what and where” recommendations, good wifi and space to chill!

 

Parking

There is meter/pay-by-phone parking in the centre bays of the road. It costs around £6.50 for 24 hours and you can purchase more than one day at a time when you arrive.

Public Transport

We are a short 8 minute walk from Hove Station with trains from London Victoria, Gatwick Airport and the South West. If you arrive at Brighton Station you can pick up a frequent train to Hove (one stop) or take the no. 7 bus outside the station going in the Hove direction to the top of our road (Wilbury Road). From the bottom of the same road we are well serviced with buses (every 2 minutes) to take you into the city centre, Brighton marina, Rottingdean and beyond to the South Downs.

    ‘Short walk to the sea’…
    The Art House is a lovely place to stay when visiting Brighton. Liz is the perfect host and offered a warm welcome to her home. Good location with plenty of places to eat and drink and a short walk to the sea front and into Brighton. Would stay again should we visit Brighton in the future.

    ‘Loved the artistic touches’…
    …Gorgeous spacious, clean, comfortable room with everything you need - towels, shower toiletries, hairdryer, tea, coffee and of course biscuits! A short walk from Hove shops, restaurants and bars and close to the hire bikes to cycle into central Brighton. Loved the artistic touches with the decor and Liz’s beautiful mosaics…

    ‘Luxurious bathroom’…
    Lovely time at The Art House. It was just what we were looking for. We were welcomed by Liz and delighted with the room & luxurious bathroom which was very reasonably priced. The house is decorated with Liz’s mosaics made in the garden studio that our room looked onto. Would highly recommend.

    ‘The Best Airbnb we have ever stayed in’…
    Wow! This is a fantastic place to stay. Ticks all the boxes. Very welcoming , spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, very comfortable beds, everything you could think you need for your stay. Quiet, easy access to the local transport, restaurants and great cafes for breakfast before you stroll along the promenade or take a dip in the sea. The artwork and decoration in the house and our rooms was stunning especially Liz’s mosaics.

    ‘Welcoming hosts’…
    Liz and Dexter are very welcoming hosts, they make you feel like home. We had good times with them, chatting on places, food and art.

    Their house is beautiful and comfortable, very clean and tidy. Inside the room, furnished with many artistic details, you can find anything you need.

    We strongly recommend this place in the centre of Hove.

    ‘Great location’…
    Great place and great location, with everything of a high standard - from shower gel and shampoo to linen, bedding, size of room, cleanliness, lovely art. Liz and her husband were informative, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be our go to place to stay next time.

    ‘Light and calm’…
    We very much enjoyed our stay in Liz and Dexters home. Their home is filled with light and calm and after a busy day walking around Brighton we sank with pleasure into our cosy beds. Hove is a pleasant stroll along the promenade from the hurly burly of Brighton and I highly recommend this as a place to stay and enjoy.

    ‘Hidden Gem’…
    We stayed with Liz and Dexter before at the Art House and was thrilled that it was even better than we remembered. Our friends who came with us this time loved the individuality of the place, the location in Hove and the proximity of all the best pubs and bars. And the quiet neighbourhood is only a twenty minute walk into the craziness of Brighton. Liz and Dexter have created something special and as hosts they are friendly, fun and happy to give out recommendations, or happy to let you just get on & explore for yourselves. It's a lovely little hidden gem.
