“Dirty Room, No fresh towels, no soap provided at all and noisy at night.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is located on a busy road and not double glazed so noisy at night. We also were not provided with any soap in our en suite bathroom, towels where not changed over our four night stay and room was not vacuumed at all. The only good thing was the breakfast each morning and the close proximity to Brighton's Gay scene.

“Homely and delightful!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010

Cowards is a special place in every particular. Jerry is so very friendly and chatty which adds a homely touch.
With regard the catering, I always think that the best part of the day is the breakfast at Cowards. Forget the "separate tables treatment" that is to be had in other B and B's, the convivial atmosphere at Cowards is such that every one just gets chatting.
The rooms are oldy worldy which I find endearing.
In short the place is a delight!

“Just what was needed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2010

My partner and I spent a couple of nights at Cowards after the Isle of Wight festival, so we were certainly in need of a bit of relaxation!
Gerry was a fantastic host, and his breakfast superb. Plus Cowards is only a very short walk from the Lanes etc, and of course Brighton was fantastic as ever.
Really liked the fridge in the room, and dvd collection as well.
we will certainly be back.

“Great Hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2010

My partner and I stayed at Cowards for 2 nights in May. We truely enjoyed our stay and we were made to feel really welcome as visitors from America. Loved the full English breakfasts cooked for us each morning as we got the day started. Would certainly stay there if we returned. Thanks Gerry and David.
