Holiday lettings in Brighton

Brighton stands out today as one of Britain’s most vibrant cities and there are many great districts to stay in. When the sun is shining, there’s nothing better than waking up on Brighton’s seafront in the city centre. Take a walk along the iconic pier, pop into one of the sweet shops for a piece of Brighton Rock, chow down on a greasy doughnut or take a ride on the Dodgem cars. Alternatively, nearby Kemptown is also an option for those who like staying within walking distance of the centre. Brighton’s vibrant gay scene is centered around this district, where there is an overwhelming range of cafes, bars, and shops. For those after a more relaxed stay in Brighton, the district of Hove is best suited for them. The neighbourhood lies along the waterfront to the east of the city centre.

A must-see is the 19th century Royal Pavilion, which features an interesting mix of Indian and Gothic architecture. Brighton Museum and Art Gallery is a good place to go on a rainy day. Take a bus out of the centre to the University of Sussex and enjoy a walk through woods and fields before reaching a quaint village. Brighton’s North Laines has many vintage clothing shops, interesting junk stores and throbbing record stores lining its winding streets. Brighton’s alternative and independent side is well represented here and you’ll find some interesting gift, clothing and fashion ideas.

For big name brands Churchill Square and Brighton Marina both feature an impressive selection of well-known shops.
