Find the Best Hove Bed and Breakfast

Hove lies along the south coast of England and is merged with its hip neighbour, Brighton. It's a place of contrasts. On the one hand, it's an achingly traditional seaside resort with long rows of multi-coloured beach huts, a handsome promenade lined with fine Georgian houses and neatly-manicured coastal gardens. But there's a trendy side to Hove that's washed over from Brighton, with lively little wine bars, upmarket fashion boutiques and flat white-loving locals who hang out in the pavement cafes. Beyond the beach, there are plenty of attractions, plus you've got the whole of Brighton and all its hipness just a short distance from your Hove bed and breakfast.

• Look out across the beach from your guestroom
• Stay on the Sussex coast without the high price tag
• Stay with Hove locals who know the area well
• Bring the little ones to stay in one of the family-sized rooms

You're spoilt for Choice When it Comes to B&Bs, Hove

There is plenty of accommodation to choose from in the city, but Hove bed and breakfasts have long been the staple accommodation for visiting couples and families. What better way to experience Hove than by staying in a homely atmosphere with locals who know the area like the back of their hand? If you're ready to start researching where you're going to stay, try Expedia, which lists every property, along with detailed descriptions and photos to help you make the right choice. Once you've searched for Hove, just filter by your budget and dates, and let Expedia do the hard work for you. Booking is completed in just a few clicks. Some are traditional little Victorian terraced properties that, charmingly, haven't changed all that much over the years and offer some serious bang for your buck. Others have renovated and now offer luxurious places to stay that even give hotels a run for their money. You'll find some are strolling distance from the long beach, while others might be set a little closer to the centre of town, and its bars and restaurants. Whichever you decide to pick, you can always be assured of a fun-filled break when you book your stay with Expedia.

Guestrooms come in all shapes and sizes – that's the charm of a B&B – but they also come equipped with all the modern conveniences that you might expect from a more expensive hotel, like a flat-screen TV on the wall, a big comfortable double bed, wrapped in freshly pressed sheets, and free WiFi, to help you plan your getaway. All but the most budget of bed and breakfasts in Hove will come with an ensuite bathroom stocked with toiletries. What makes the difference between a B&B and a hotel are those personal little touches you might find – perhaps some fresh-cut flowers in a vase next to your bed or some locally made treats waiting for you when you arrive. Every morning, you can fuel up on a full English breakfast, or lighter options like fruit and yogurt, before heading out for a day on the beach. If Hove doesn't sound like it's right for you, why not try the bright lights of London instead?
