Gay Friendly Bed and Breakfast
Brighton One Broad Street, Gay Friendly Bed and breakfast, Broad Street, Brighton  www.onebroadstreet.com Bright, crisp and immaculately presented best sums up this super Brighton sea front bed and breakfast. There is a refreshing style that flows effortlessly through the eight individual bedrooms that are punctuated carefully with splashes of colour. The eight en-suite bedrooms, many of which have cheeky sea views, including a small studio apartment are all immaculately presented and well equipped with incredibly comfortable beds, generous hospitality trays, flat screen TVs, free Wi-Fi access and many other extras that give this super little guest house a hotel feel. Most importantly the real stars here are the two talented ladies Ramola and Mary who own and run One Broad Street and they have created a very special, friendly and calm oasis just a stones throw away from Brighton's fabulous beach, pier, Lanes shopping area, the Brighton conference centre and Brighton's fabulous restaurants, bars and cafés and all the vibrant buzz of Brighton's Gay Village: Kemp Town is just up the road. |

Gay Friendly Art Deco Style Bed and Breakfast
Brighton Paskins Gay Friendly Art Deco Bed and Breakfast, Charlotte Street, Brighton  www.paskins.co.uk On my arrival at the Art Nouveau reception I was welcomed by a happy smiley member of staff who showed me to one of the 19 rooms, each of which are individual in design and perhaps a little quirky but not at the expense of being comfortable. I cannot decide which aspect of Paskins I find most appealing, whether it is the two fine town houses it occupies or the vibrant palette of the decor. There is of course the famous Art Deco breakfast room which is simply stunning, the individuality of the bedrooms, the amazingly good food and Susan and Roger's incredible passion to operate Paskins in an ethically responsible way without detriment to their guests' comfort or the environment. I know that it is now very vogue to make such claims, but these guys have been practising this for the last fifteen years. The breakfast room is special and it is so easy to see why so many Art Deco aficionados pay unconditional homage here. The menu provides an astonishing variety of imaginative vegetarian and vegan delights, 3 fishy dishes, a full English to die for and some intriguing specials. How cool can it be to arrive and relax in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that bears not a hint of dust nor slavish attitudes to style? Paskins' style brief is Vivienne Westwood meets Amelia Earhart. |

Gay Friendly Bed and Breakfast Brighton Brighton Pavilions Gay Friendly Bed and Breakfast, Charlotte Street, Brighton  www.brightonpavilions.com I wonder what Queen Victoria would have made of the replica of her four-poster bed lavishly swagged with silk drapes and crowned with ostrich feathers in a large room with a gorgeous draped bay window from where you get a cheeky views of the sea. The walls are hung with portraits of Victoria's family and the marble fireplace and salon chairs are the crowning glory of this decadent and unashamedly camp piece of theatre and just like the other rooms, it is just sensational. Breakfasting amongst the potted greenery in the elegant Palm Court Dining Room completes the illusion that Ken and Phill have worked so hard to achieve in their super and wonderfully camp bed and breakfast in Kemp Town. Well done U2. |
