Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Kemptown

It was my first time using Air b&b and the hosts made it such an easy experience. Lovely house for our whistle stop tour.

Lorna's place exceeded our expectations in every way. The attention to detail is remarkable, from child-sized furniture that delighted our kids to thoughtful amenities that made our stay effortless. The views are stunning, the location is perfect for exploring the area, and the house itself strikes the perfect balance between cozy and spacious. What really sets this place apart is how well Lorna anticipates her guests' needs. Everything we could have wanted was already there. If you're traveling with children, this is definitely the place to book. The toys and kid-friendly setup made it feel like a home away from home. We'll definitely be back.

We had a fantastic long weekend at Henrietta’s cottage, it was the perfect place to stay for exploring the fascinating area and better than hoped. The cottage is beautifully appointed with tasteful interiors and very comfortable beds with crisp linen. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare food, with lovely ceramics to serve on. And having private and very peaceful outdoor space to enjoy late afternoon sunshine was wonderful. Definitely one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in. Already hoping we’ll be back!

From the moment we were enthusiastically welcomed at the door by Calypso, we knew we were going to have a happy week in Portslade. Both cats were very friendly and affectionate with all of us, making it a home from home for a family of four with two small boys. The home offers plenty of room for a getaway and has all the amenities you'd normally need if you were at home. Our elder son appreciated having a climbing frame in his room too! The pub next door was missing some of its fencing while we were staying, which removed a bit of privacy from the back garden, but thankfully when we were indoors we didn't notice any of the noise or smoke from the beer garden unless we had the back windows open. Our boys loved having open access to football pitches behind the pub. Parking was usually ok nearby but we struggled for a space one evening when there was a big event at the nearby Hindu temple. Bus and train connections into places like Brighton, Hove and Worthing were excellent.

This was the perfect house for a family weekend together. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather and enjoyed the comfortable garden furniture. The garden was safe for my toddler grand daughter. When we wanted to go out it was an easy walk to the Hove cafes etc and to the beach. We had a really relaxing time and would love to come again.

A unique house, something interesting everywhere you look, inside and out. Clearly a well loved property with plenty to keep you occupied. My personal favourite was the wood fired pizza oven - if you want to try this, make sure you do some homework before you go! The wood fired hot tub was a stand out favourite with my family, as were the huge variety of birds seen in the garden.

Great house, home from home, everything we needed, plenty of space for our older children, briiliant location for buses all over the area so no need to take the car, shops very near for supplies and the fish and chips near the house were fabulous. Would happily stay again, thank you.

Absolutely loved our stay at Foxwood Cottage. We travelled from Devon for the Brighton Marathon this weekend & it was the perfect base for us to travel into Brighton from to site see on the Saturday & for the event on the Sunday. 10 minute drive from the train station (easy parking) & about 20-25 minutes drive to the park and ride site. I really wanted somewhere out of the hustle & bustle of busy Brighton on one of the busiest weekends of the year to relax & unwind before the event & this cottage was the perfect find. Elaine could not have been a more welcoming & accommodating host, the cottage had all we needed & was beautifully decorated, we felt right at home. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

8 minute walk to train station and reasonable walk to beach. There are lots of hills in this town! We were happy to have good weather. There is lots to do in Brighton. We were there for a week, took train trips to Chichester and Lewes, which was convenient. The kitchen is well stocked and hosts were generous in sharing things in the cupboards and freezer. We cook almost all our own meals, so the kitchen is important for us. The gas fireplace kept us cozy on chilly evenings, and it was quiet, which we really appreciated. They left us extra towels and sheets for our stay and their washer/dryer worked well.

I stayed in Alexandre‘s apartment with my ten year old son and we both fell in love with the place at first sight. The high ceilings, the old wooden floor, the furniture, the views - everything is beautiful. Alexandre’s taste is exceptionally good. The view into the backyard, which is full of trees, is totally soothing. While having breakfast, we spotted squirrels, birds and two foxes strolling around. Alexandre was very helpful and always replied within very short time. We also appreciated the area very much. There are some really good cafés - and the Asian restaurants on Preston Street are just amazing. My son said, he could „eat in this street for the rest of his life.“ I almost agreed. ;) Hope to come back one day! Thank you, Alexandre!

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is very well located, cosy and clean. Thanks to Sarah for her kindness and messages to spend a great stay.

Overall the flat was perfect. Fabulous location. Inside was recently decorated and appliances were brand new. The bed was advertised as King size and as we come from Canada we expected it to be like our King beds whereas it is a large double. We were able to use the sofa bed though. Bottom line apart from the bed size it was as advertised. Thanks Simon and Sansan

We needed a place to stay not to far from the main railway station. We wanted to be able to prepare some meals for ourselves. This apartment worked out very well for us.

The property was fabulous. it was lovely and peaceful. walkable to the amenities. Emily was very helpful, with excellent information. I would love to stay again when I visit Brighton. I would highly recommend this property.

Amazing place felt just like home. Well located accommodation, close to shops and beach. Beautiful sea view. We had a lovely stay. My Grandson enjoyed sitting on the big swivel chair looking out at the view of the sea. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to book again

We had a lovely two nights at Charlotte's apartment. Plenty of space for us (family of four including two teenagers). It was clean, secure and very comfortable. The house is in a quiet street with beautiful buildings but also just minutes from shops and beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. Really appreciated help with parking. Would definitely recommend as a base to explore Brighton.

Little Rock is a fabulous property in a stunning location. This part of East Sussex/Kent border is really interesting and the countryside is lovely. The main room kitchen/lounge are is huge and very comfortable with lovely views over the country side with the small railway spur line at the bottom of the valley, (we were lucky to see the Spa Railway steam train both days we stayed). Bedrooms were all well decorated and very clean and the ones with ensuite facilities were huge. The kitchen and utility room were both extremely well appointed and we did a lot of cooking but did not run short of pots and pans etc etc. We would not hesitate to recommend Little Rock and all 9 of us were very sad to leave.

We loved our stay at the beach. Such a beautiful location and so different than our sand beaches we have in the US. The rocky beach may not be for everyone but it was perfect for us as we weren't going to be swimming in April anyways. The house itself was wonderful and inviting - nothing bad to say about it.

We had a lovely stay for NYE at Ingram House! The bar area was a great space to relax in and the dining room and lounge area were also lovely. There was plenty of space and it was very comfortable! Highly recommend a stay here!

We stayed for three nights over half term. The photos don’t quite do this place justice - I’m not exactly an architectural connoisseur but the place is stunningly designed with bifold doors straight onto the beach and a fire with ‘floating chimney’ visible from 360 degrees in the living area. Jo was an amazing host and showed us around personally, as well as supplying a very nice welcome pack and ample firewood! Whilst being right on the beach, this always felt like a very peaceful location. We enjoyed being able to do a bit of beach combing from the door as well as walk to the nearby nature reserve. Also had a very nice day out at West Wittering which is a relatively short drive. The weather was mixed during our stay (it was February!), but this the place is equally well equipped for a bracing walk followed by time by the log fire and more sunny days. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a short break by the sea.

Wonderful house, helpful host - look forward to come back again!

Not only was Lisa super helpful and friendly but the accomodation itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, well stocked and had wonderful, thoughtful additions. Will definitely be booking again
