Back in June we needed a little weekend escape. Somewhere far from home, with the seaside air and a little more to explore than our country village had on offer.
We ended up choosing Brighton. Seaside? Tick. Nightlife? Tick. Something unique? Tick Tick Tick.
We were lucky enough to stay whilst the Brighton Fringe was on, which meant that comedy, music and theatre entertainment was constantly available all over the city.
The inner city was beautiful, teaming with tiny tea shops, great restaurants and random little stores selling cat decorations. I'm sure there were better stores than the cat deco ones, but you get the jist!
Whilst on a stroll past a slightly grim looking pub, a little fringe banner caught our eye. We strolled in for a sixy's alcoholic beverage (the later equivalent of elevensies), managing to catch an awesome comic, and his 2 geekier comic friends.
The main thing I wanted to share about our perfect little escape, is to show you the ultimate crash pad we stumbled upon (though its' not such a secret as you will soon find out!).
The Artist Residence is a 23 room boutique hotel. When searching for a place to stay, flicking through the internet to find the same boring hotel room after boring hotel room was becoming tiresome. It was only when a friend of a friend mentioned this hotel, previously featured on The Hotel Inspector, that we found exactly what we were looking for!
Each room is uniquely decorated by a different artist, making it a truly individual experience. Every corner offers a different piece of artwork to analyse (all for sale too!), and the breakfasts are just divine! I opted for American style pancakes with a spiced berry compote, while D went for the mini full english (of course). They sound like standard breakfasts, but I can assure you, they were above and beyond!
My favourite part....? I can't choose between the free cocktail in the bar, or the marshmallow teacakes on your pillow on arrival!
Have you been to the Artist Residence?
Or somewhere better?
I'd love to know!
