Save to favouritesPrintMailKemp TownhouseThe Kemp Townhouse first opened in 1864 as Mary Pearson’s Guesthouse. Back then, a room cost less than 10 shillings per night; nearly 150 years later, it costs around 100 pounds. Which is still excellent value because the rooms here are classy – clean, calm and coloured, with understated hues of smoky brown and burgundy. Owners Claas and Russell have turned a derelict B&B into a delightfully sophisticated one that sits on a quiet side street just off Brighton’s seafront. We turned up late in the rain after a delayed train, and our bags were whisked away to one of the 9 [r:UK059:rooms] with charming efficiency by Claas. Russell poured us a G&T in the ocean-blue lounge (that doubles as an elegant breakfast room) before recommending a nearby restaurant for supper. Another couple arrived, obviously on a special occasion, and were greeted with a bottle of champagne. This relaxing welcome - professional but unpretentious - charmed us throughout our stay. Mary Pearson would be proud.
