description
In the heart of Brighton, Christine and Lucho, welcome you to their guest house. We are proud to offer; comfortable, clean, fully en-suite rooms in a recently refurbished, historic regency townhouse. We are a ‘bed and breakfast’ and place primary importance on those two words. We believe that it has been by concentrating upon the ‘beds’ and the ‘breakfast’ that we have developed a satisfied and loyal clientele.
We have chosen to provide a, primarily organic, continental buffet style breakfast as opposed to the customary English 'fry-up'. This decision was informed by a desire to provide a broad and healthy choice for breakfast. We do not cater for party groups nor small children (under 12), so be assured of a tranquil stay. We operate a minimum two night stay policy for weekends and a three night minimum stay for bank holiday weekends.

how this holiday makes a difference

We have arranged with our electricity supplier a contract which exclusively utilises electricity from renewable sources such as wind. Throughout the guesthouse we have placed long-life low watt bulbs wherever possible. Having recently undergone a complete refurbishment we are assured that our insulation is of the highest possible standards. We aim to economise our gas consumption as much as possible and have installed a control system for the central heating which allows us to selectively restrict heating to rooms which are unoccupied and thus reducing wastage. We are constantly reviewing our gas consumption in the hopes of finding more appropriate alternatives. A recent extension to our kitchen and dry store has allowed us to implement a sedum roof giving us added insulation and more green space for the immediate environment.
We have arranged with local recycling co-operative to for regular collections of all our recyclable waste, such as glass, paper, cartons, tins, and including tetra packaging. All our bio-degradable waste is processed through a wormery which in turn provides us with excellent and rich compost for all our gardening and planting projects. We provide each room with two waste baskets and ask quests to kindly separate recyclable material from non-recyclable. All our en-suite baths, showers and wash basins are provided with specialised hygienic soap dispensers made particularly for the hospitality industry. This enables us to reduce the wastage of both packaging and un used soap products. We do ask our guests staying more than one night to place towels they wish to be washed on the floor thus minimising the need to wash towels guests are still satisfied with.  All our cleaning materials and detergents are sourced from companies providing ecological solutions, such as Ecover. Our company car has been converted to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). We support the local community by procuring all our produce from local suppliers. We are closely aligned and committee members of the local preservation society. We pride ourselves upon our largely organic breakfast which is primarily sourced from local suppliers. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
