We cant thank Gerry at Cowards enough, A truly delightful Guest House that we were made so very welcome in, On arrival we met Gerry, whom showed us to our room a wonderful clean and well maintained fully serviced room it was to, This visit was more like visiting a darling aunt rather than a B&B advice was freely provided...

I visited Coward's on Apr 14th - 16th 2012 for the marathon weekend. I was late in booking a room, having been let down by someone else, but this turned out to be my good fortune in finding this place. Even late booking though the prices were very reasonable, unlike some hotels i asked at where they seemed to increase... More

Stayed here some time ago - friendly owners you never saw except at breakfast - no place to sit and chat except in your room - which was in need of modernizing as somewhat dated and faded. Very clean and tidy - but no indication as to why it is called Cowards - altho someone told me the owner was... More

We stumbled into Cowards, after stupidly turning up in Brighton with no reservations! Gerry was able to accommodate us for the one night we needed. The rooms are cosy and nicely appointed, if a little dated, but you can see that these rooms have been done to a high standard, the bed was very comfy, with lovely bed linen and... More

Stayed here with my girlfriend for the weekend and can definately recommend it. It is no frills but the room is fine and the breakfast was spot on, so just what you want and expect from a B&B, plus was a bit cheaper than other places I tried so added bonus. The owner is great, very friendly and helpful. He... More

The hotel is located on a busy road and not double glazed so noisy at night. We also were not provided with any soap in our en suite bathroom, towels where not changed over our four night stay and room was not vacuumed at all. The only good thing was the breakfast each morning and the close proximity to Brighton's... More

Cowards is a special place in every particular. Jerry is so very friendly and chatty which adds a homely touch. With regard the catering, I always think that the best part of the day is the breakfast at Cowards. Forget the "separate tables treatment" that is to be had in other B and B's, the convivial atmosphere at Cowards is... More

My partner and I spent a couple of nights at Cowards after the Isle of Wight festival, so we were certainly in need of a bit of relaxation! Gerry was a fantastic host, and his breakfast superb. Plus Cowards is only a very short walk from the Lanes etc, and of course Brighton was fantastic as ever. Really liked the... More
