From the owner

Looking Glass Cottage in the Lanes, Brighton. This stunning cottage is the oldest house in Brighton, dating back to 1565. It’s been reimagined. Inspired by Victorian Alice in Wonderland with charming references to playing cards, key holes and looking glasses and every little luxury thought of...

The bedrooms are soft and tactile with glistening wallpapers, silky bed throws, retro lamps and vintage accessories.

It's the perfect choice for a visit to Brighton in the heart of everything. The vibrant seafront, Pier, Brighton Centre, Royal Pavilion, Town Hall, Dome & Corn Exchange & great bars & restaurants are only around the corner. The train and coach stations are both walking distance.

Proving very popular with groups who want something a cut above a hotel, it really is one of a kind and the very best of the city is all on your doorstep!
