My partner and I stayed here for three nights in the Clark Gable room. It has a lovely 4 poster bed, although a little creaky when turning over it was really comfortable. The room and bathroom were really clean and the room also had a fridge which was handy for keeping some drinks in. The location of Colson House is... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Audrey Hepburn room for my birthday weekend and we enjoyed our time there. The room was clean and tidy on arrival and the owners were friendly, helpful and very welcoming. The B&B is very close to the seafront and the centre of Brighton with many shops, restaurants and cafes nearby, which was very... More

Despite the not so nice English summer, my friends and I decided to treat ourselves to three days in Brighton, and Colson House was our chosen B&B, and what a great choice! The owners Mark and Eamon could not have been better, they were welcoming, extremely friendly and very entertaining. They offered such great advice on the local attractions, and... More

On the day we were due to stay here my husband and I rang to to enquire what time we needed to check in and the man that answered the phone informed us that our reservation had been cancelled and that we were not welcome. When I asked why this was he became defensive and aggressive. I tried to reason... More

We had a christening in Brighton so needed somewhere to stay for one night and didn't want to pay much so we booked here. We booked the James Dean room and were advised it was the cheapest as it was the smallest. The day before we arrived we got a very friendly phone call from the owner, making sure we... More

Thanks to Eamon and Mark and the team at Colson House. What a great location. We stayed in the Audrey Hepburn room. Lovely breakfast and they were very helpful. The room was very clean and stocked up with towels, and tea and coffee, milk. Would well recommend this hotel. Good value for money.

Stayed here for Valentines weekend with my girlfriend. We had the Clark Gable room. No complaints at all - very nice, clean room with a large shower room. The breakfasts were lovely (if perhaps a little small) and the two guys who run the place are very friendly. I'd definitely recommend.

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Maralyn Monroe room at the top of the house over the BH weekend and found it very peaceful. The hosts were accommodating of our needs and pleasant to talk to! The room was spacious and airy and overlooked the road but wasn't in any way disruptive of sleep. The breakfast was spot on,... More

We stayed 3 nights in the James Dean room and had a good time in lovely Brighton. The location is great and a short 20mins walk from the station and round the corner from loads of restaurants / bars etc. (Muang Thai round the corner was fantastic) but we had no problem with noise at all - apart from the...
