If you're coming to visit gay Brighton in all its camp glory then a stay at Coward's Guesthouse can only enhance your experience. Extremely popular with gay men and lesbians, this bed and breakfast is a little treasure just yards from the centre of the Brighton scene, St James's Street.

The six bedrooms are decorated to a high standard and are a clean, comfortable base for your stay. Four rooms offer full en-suite facilities and two have showers - and, as you'd expect, all have those little away-from-home comforts in the shape of telly, beverage trays, fridges and radio alarms and all are suprisingly spacious. Rooms range from the elegant first floor double with feature bow window to the small, but comfortable, single. Whatever your choice, the price is pretty unbeatable in a city that can be quite challenging to your wallet - with rates from just £35.

There is something comfortingly old-school about this friendly guesthouse too - from the fantastic breakfast with its generous portions, to your friendly and welcoming host. Gerry will do his utmost to help you make the most of your stay and is gloriously entertaining - he'll be able to tell you a tale or two, let you know what's on where and even grab you a discount or two at some of the venues!

The guesthouse is utterly charming and is bedecked in a fascinating collection of art and antiques. There's even a little courtyard area where guests that smoke can feel a little less persecuted than out on the street - and where everyone can enjoy in the warmer weather.

Coward's is a guesthouse that embraces the true spirit of gay Brighton.
