Lovely seaside establishments
Owing to its tourist locale, the city offers plenty of reasonably-priced accommodations, such as bed and breakfast or guest houses, along the seaside. Many bed and breakfast establishments offer family rooms and complimentary car parking.
Unlike hotels, B&Bs and guest houses are considerably cheaper. You do not have to pay extra for amenities you will ever use, and you make use of your room when you need it. Although there are cheap B&B properties available, owing to their lower cost and the sizeable tourist population, you may find many booked during the summer season.
Always book ahead and reserve for your visit. If you find a bed & breakfast fully booked, employ the secret of the smart traveller, and seek out bed and breakfasts or guest houses closer to the centre of the city. Because they are slightly less in proximity to the coastline, those establishments typically have more single and family rooms available for a cheaper price.
You will still have easy entry to the beach with affordable transportation options, such as buses, taxis, or bicycles. However, now you will have better access to explore city attractions away from the shoreline. This is especially useful if weather will not permit a beach visit.
If you rent a car, you will find a larger number of free parking space available at urban centre guest houses. Moreover, restaurants located in the town centre operate at lower costs for the locals. Seafront eateries can cost twice as much, but dining in urban restaurants will save you hundreds of pounds.
Wherever your accommodation resides, Brighton and Hove will provide you with cheap bed and breakfasts and cultural attractions that will make your holiday memorable and fun.
