Colson House

Lovely, old-​fashioned quite colonial style hotel with a nice bench and table out in the front garden for smoking. I’m not giving it 5 stars as I feel one should be allowed to smoke in The Balcony room (on the balcony) which is prohibited.
We had the balcony room with the usual tea/​coffee making facilities, shower and television. Betty Davis artwork and sayings adorn the room as each bedroom is themed with 20^th Century film stars. Our friends from Australia had a four-​poster bed in their room but no balcony.
Lovely English breakfast with cereal to start if wanted. I enjoyed my stay here.

cosy and clean rooms. very friendly and helpful staff. close to all attractions but still calm at night.

Colson house is a very pretty 4-​star (AA) guest house located in a listed building and is only 10 – 15 minutes walk to the center. The owners Eammon and Mark really know how to make you feel welcome here, we were very pleasantly surprised. I love how all the rooms are named after a classic Hollywood star too, we came on a quiet week and got a free upgrade to the Clark Gable room complete with portrait, four poster bed, great shower and milk in the fridge to make your own tea. You may hear the seagulls in the morning but this didn’t bother us too much, it was like our wake-​up call!

This is a Grade 2 listed regency building, (B & B), which boasts a ‘central location’, to everything Brghton has to offer.
It is run by a gay couple, who are very friendly & helpful. All customers — gay, or straight are very welcome.
All the guest rooms available are named after ‘movie icons’ — which provides a fantastic touch to these very well presented rooms.
…so, whether you’re a ‘Marilyn Monroe’ addict, or a ‘John Wayne’ buff — you can definately indulge your passion, by staying in one of these tastefuly re-​furbished rooms.
If you know your dates — it is best to email them, to see what is available. And they will also, negotiate rates with you.
There is limited parking, on the street out-​side — but you can buy a ‘permit’ from the owners, which makes the cost of parking affordable, throughout your stay. …You just need to watch out for the spaces!
Make sure you check out their web-​site, so that you can take a peek inside the ‘movie icons’ room! :o)
Also, great, freshly prepared food offered at breakfast, which sets you off for the day ahead: o)
