I have not had the pleasure of staying at this hotel but from what I have seen and heard, I might…read morehave to start saving and treat the misses to a nice romantic weekend. The quality of this hotel is brilliant and the pictures do not do it that much justice in my opinion. With great packages for weddings and civil ceremonies and great room for conferences suitable for upto 100 people, there is always plenty going on. Room prices start from £80 for a single room so it is not going to be cheap but well worth it in my opinion alone. Anyway, if you are looking to impress people then you are going to have to spend a little bit.

The Claremont provides a very elegant and professional venue for business meetings and small…read moreconferences. The function rooms are light and airy, with contemporary furnishings and a large bay window, and it is pleasantly quiet and easy to park in this area of Hove. At a recent informal meeting, twelve of us were comfortably seated with plenty of room, and served snacks and drinks by very polite and friendly staff. There is also a secluded garden behind the hotel, which, I am told, looks beautiful in the summer months. Although only a guest for a couple of hours, I was very impressed by The Claremont, and would certainly recommend their services to other businesses.

I had afternoon tea here with a pretty big group of friends. It was classic and I liked that it…read morewas definitely nice but not extremely fancy. The tea was good and so were the treats. My friends and I drank quite a bit of tea, and definitely ate pretty much all of the food. The building/ house is really pretty both on the outside and the inside. It's also cool because it is within Stanmer Park. It is fairly secluded, in a good way, but not too far from things at all. The best thing about this place is that it's so pretty and peaceful.

Stanmer House was built in 1720 for the first Earl of Chichester, Thomas Pelham by the architect…read moreNicholas Dubois. It's a quintessential English country house, built in a restrained classical style, and set in 5,000 acres of parkland - also landscaped in the classical English style. The House itself incorporated part of the house of the previous owners of the estate, the Michelborne family, who were connected with the manor (then called Audwick) as early as 1594. The new house was in the restrained Classical style so popular for English country houses, with little adornment. A later extension to the right wing has spoiled the symmetry somewhat, but the ensemble is still handsome enough. Although most of the contents were dispersed when the House was sold to the Council, the ground floor interiors of this Grade 1 listed building are reasonably well preserved and tastefully decorated, and worth a look - the main function rooms of the house are open to visitors for free when not in use. Among other things, they contain a midly diverting collection of old photographs, but most of the original contents have long since gone - however, the modern furnishings fit in well enough in a 'Country House Hotel' sort of way. The grounds are now owned by Brighton City Council as Stanmer Park (see separate entry), but the house has been retained as a conference and events venue, and specialises in special dinners, weddings and similar events. The venue is licensed for Civil Ceremonies. I have only visited the house as a tourist so can't comment first hand on service etc. or as a conference or event venue. But it has a good reputation locally, albeit at a price: wedding packages here start around £140 per guest (up to 140 with a marquee), but it'd be a pretty memorable!

An interesting addition to any aspiring film director or production company 's address book,…read moreLighthouse is a slick and modern space where you can hire equipment, get technical support or just hire an editing suite. They have their own audio visual, IT, production and post production facilities and a digital lounge which you can hire to show screenings. There's also conference rooms, a more relaxed meeting area with leather sofas and training studios where you can run workshops and seminars. I went there on Saturday night to see the films they were showing as part of the annual White Night festival and have to say whilst I wasn't blown away by the quality of the 4 films I watched, I thought the space and concept was great.

I saw what was probably the worst film I have ever seen here, but that's not giving the Lighthouse the credit it deserves. It is a wonderful place that offers both performance and training. The building is modern and clean and there is a small downstairs bar where you can congregate before, or after performances. Okay, so the film I saw was dire, but that was just bad luck. The Lighthouse offers an insight into Brighton's creative side that you might not always know exists. Yes there are bands and painters, but the performing arts are often overlooked. I strongly advise checking the listings and giving this place a go. I gave it a go and although I didn't enjoy the particular performance, I am so glad I know places like Lighthouse exist.

I've walked past this place many times but never went in before…read more We visited on a lovely sunny day so sat outside on the terrace which was busy. We'd bought a voucher through Wriggle - hot dog & free flowing prosecco for £9.95 (1-4pm) & I must admit we weren't sure how it would live up to our expectation but we were both really pleased - our hot dogs were really tasty, although a little small to be classed as a meal, but the free flowing prosecco was exactly that! After being given a wrist band to show that we were in the prosecco club, we never had an empty glass, staff wandered around all afternoon topping up our glasses, we never had to go to the bar or ask for a top up. It was great - I will definitely go back, it was such great value!
