When I arrived quite late aftera difficult drive I felt a bit grumpy that my room wasn't immaculately clean. And to my amazement the bed had sheets, blankets , eiderdown and bedspread! But the bedlinen was spotless and soft and in the morning light I could see that it really was a nice little room in a house full of character and interesting things.
Frank runs it all alone and is just getting ready for his busiest season. He serves breakfast in the basement which looks out onto a pretty garden. I could only manage half of the 'full english breakfast' on offer - and there was also cereals, juices and endless toast and marmalade, with pots of tea with tealeaves(!) served in pretty dainty china.cups.
Frank is helpful and friendly - a font of info about the area and well equipped with guidesbooks, what's ons etc. Not having to crouch in the Brighton wind on the step outside for a cigarette gives him my vote whattever (how rare and how civilised). Though anyone looking for a quaint and interesting Guest House that has got lost in the mists of time would probably appeciate Frank & The Chatsworth as much as I did, especially if you are a smoker!
