We stayed at Boydens guest house for 2 nights. Helen was an excellent host.Very welcoming and friendly. Our room was clean and tastefully decorated with a huge comfy bed!! Would definately recommend this small friendly guest house. As it we were celebrating a birthday, Helen left a bottle of wine which was a nice touch! There is a pizza/pasta restaurant... More

Helen and William are lovely hoast's, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast is cooked fresh every morning, it's in an ideal location close to the seafront, pier and the centre of Brighton. We recommend to anyone.

The welcome we had was friendly and very helpful with maps and directions to the local attractions. A two minute walk to the sea, which you can see from the front step, and the shopping centre not much further. Parking is available within a road or so, though we were lucky to park just a few doors away. The room... More

There was a good choice for breakfast which was cooked to order and served along with friendly conversation. The guest house is situated within two... More

Helen and William were great hosts offering a friendly welcome and attention to detail. The location is perfect - 2 minutes to the seafront and no more than 10 minutes into town. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable with everything you would need. Breakfast was freshly cooked and plentiful. We chose to park on one of the roads which... More

Helen couldn't be a more open and very friendly, helpful proprietor. Doesn't crowd you tho', but you feel if anything went wrong (nothing did) there would be no problem fixing it swiftly. My room was very clean, comfortable, warm, airy, hot shower, tea making facilities, soaps and stuff. I can be a bit of an insomniac, but had a good... More

What a great place! Location was perfect, the room was spot on with all the facilities, freeview, hairdrier, etc. Helen & her other half were absolutely great hosts & simply lovely people, it felt like home from home. I cannot speak highly enough of how hospitable Helen was as soon as I arrived, greeting me with a map of the... More
