Charles Street Townhouse, Brighton Seafront
SLEEPS 16
This is one of those rare Brighton houses that’s both big and central. Five floors, five bedrooms, and enough bathrooms that getting ready isn’t hellish. The kitchen anchors everything: long breakfasts, easy dinners, the kind of space where everyone ends up hovering with a glass of rosé. You’re a stone’s throw away from the seafront and right by the pier, which means Brighton happens immediately: coffee, beach, the best girl dinners in Brighton, drinks, repeat. There’s also a small courtyard out back more morning-coffee-in-the-sun than full pre-drinks setup, but a nice to have.
Good to know: No parking, plan ahead.
From £105 per person
Wonky Inn, Kemp Town
SLEEPS 12
This one leans fully into Brighton’s boho side. Beige, a bit wonky (literally — the floors aren’t straight), and set right on St James Street where everything’s happening. It’s not trying to be pristine or polished, and that’s kind of the point.Bedrooms are a mix of doubles, twins, and a couple of shared setups, so it works best if not everyone’s expecting their own space. The big sell is location. You’re three minutes to the beach, five to The Lanes, and surrounded by cafés, bars, and takeaways the second you step outside. Look close enough and you’ll find it’s less polished than the photos suggest — but if you’re happy to embrace a bit of chaos, it works.
Good to know: It’s on a busy street, so expect noise (especially at night). The wonky floors are part of the charm, but maybe not ideal if you’re expecting a luxury Brighton hotel for a hen.
From £95 per person
Bristol Gardens, Kemp Town
SLEEPS 10
This is the kitchen house, first and foremost. Light and airy with a big island and enough room for everyone to be there (comfortably). Pre-drinks, getting ready, and dinner plans all happen in the same space, without it feeling like a compromise. Set across three floors, downstairs has a bedroom and bathroom (useful for anyone who doesn’t want stairs), the middle floor is mostly bedrooms, and the top floor is the one everyone will want: a loft-style master with its own roll-top bath and Velux windows. It’s a calmer take on a Brighton weekend. Still central, you’re five minutes from the seafront and a short walk into Kemp Town, but the house itself feels more put-together than party-ready.
Good to know: This isn’t one for loud weekends: it’s for the low-key group. Think dinner, drinks, and a slower pace rather than late-night, back-at-3am energy.
From £110 per person
The Eclectic Flat, Hove
SLEEPS 12
For the loud weekends, this is the one. Set above one of Kemptown’s busiest streets, it’s bold, unapologetic, and absolutely not for anyone who values peace and quiet. Bedrooms are unconventional in the best way: the master has an additional armchair bed, while the upstairs palm room can be set up as four singles. It officially sleeps eight comfortably but stretches to 13 if needed — just expect things to feel… shared. With only one bathroom, don’t push your luck. Location is the selling point. YLocation is the entire point. You’re right in the middle of Kemptown, above Block Bar & Restaurant, with Brighton’s best nightlife literally on your doorstep. Lean into it fully and arrange catering from downstairs so you don’t have to leave.
Good to know: This is above a busy bar in one of Brighton’s liveliest areas — expect noise, especially at night. Best suited to groups who are out (or up) late rather than early nights.
From £115 per person
The Walpole House, Queen’s Park
SLEEPS 8
This one feels less like a Brighton Airbnb and more like staying in someone’s very well put-together home. It’s spread across four floors, with an open-plan kitchen that centres everything — an Aga, a dining table, and enough space for everyone to sit down. Upstairs is where it gets interesting. One bedroom has a roll-top bath in the room (bride, obviously) while the main bathroom has his and her sinks, a quiet but important win when you’re wrangling multiple women and limited time. he garden is a bonus: two-tiered, tucked away, and surprisingly peaceful for Brighton. Location-wise, you’re just by Queen’s Park — about a 15-minute walk into the centre — removed from the chaos, but still easy enough to dip in and out.
Good to know: This works best for a smaller group. The house is spread over four floors, so expect stairs (and a bit of up-and-down during getting ready).
From £110 per person
The Hideaway, Hove
SLEEPS 10
This is the house you book when you want options. Not just somewhere to stay, but somewhere that can carry a weekend without anyone needing to leave. There’s a games room with a snooker table and projector, a gym (yes, really), and even a golf simulator, which feels rogue, but becomes a thing very quickly. Outside is where it really delivers. A garden setup with a hot tub, sauna, and putting green, which means pre-drinks can easily turn into the entire night. Bedrooms are a mix of super-king, king, and shared options, including a main room with a balcony and en-suite, plus a few additional bathrooms spread across the house. You’re in Hove, about a 10-minute walk to the beach and a bit further into central Brighton, so removed, but with plenty to keep you occupied.
Good to know: This is more of a “stay in” house than a “quick turnaround and out” one. Also worth noting it sleeps 10, so better for a slightly smaller group.
From £120 per person
Brighton Belle Townhouse, North Laine
SLEEPS 15
Right in the North Laine, five minutes from the station, and designed for the girls’ weekend. The standout is the top floor: a full hair-and-makeup bar with Hollywood mirrors, good lighting, and enough space that getting ready doesn’t turn into a production line. It’s one of the few places where everyone can actually sit down and do their makeup at the same time. Downstairs, the layout is social. An open-plan kitchen and lounge flows into a long dining table that seats up to 15, so you can all eat together (or at least attempt to). There’s also a roof terrace up top for drinks, small, but mighty. There isn’t really enough bathrooms, but it works if everyone’s vaguely organised.
Good to know: Strict noise rules after 11pm — this isn’t one for late-night back-at-the-house plans. Bed setup leans more towards singles than doubles, so worth planning who’s where.
From £100 per person
Driftwood House, North Laine
SLEEPS 15
Brighton Belle, but less pink. Same central North Laine location, same roof terrace and getting-ready setup — but with a calmer, more lived-in feel. Think Scandi-style interiors, lots of wood, and a layout that feels more like a house than a venue. The main space is built around a large dining area with bench seating, which makes it easy for everyone to pile in at once. Upstairs, the top floor is where getting ready happens. A dedicated hair and makeup space with proper lighting means you’re not fighting for mirror space, and bedrooms are set up flexibly with a mix of singles, doubles and a bunk room (rare, but useful).
Good to know: Strict noise rules after 11pm, so better for a more low-key weekend. Layout and features are similar to Brighton Belle, just with a slightly more relaxed feel.
From £100 per person
Sea Captain’s House, Central Brighton
SLEEPS 16
This is Brighton at full volume. Right in the centre, a few minutes from the seafront, with everything happening around you, but tucked on a quieter side street so you can still reset when you need to. The kitchen diner is the anchor here: a long wooden table that seats up to 16, exposed brick, a big range cooker. It’s downstairs in the basement, which sounds odd but works once you’re in it. Upstairs is where it softens slightly. Regency details, chandeliers, high ceilings, and those top-floor sea views that make the whole house feel very Brighton. There’s also a proper “getting ready” setup — a dedicated pamper area with Hollywood mirrors — plus additional mirrors in bedrooms, so it doesn’t all fall on one bathroom. Bedrooms are flexible (zip-and-link beds), which helps with larger groups, and there are three bathrooms plus an extra WC.
Good to know: The kitchen/dining space is on the lower ground floor, so expect a bit of up/down. No outdoor space, but you’re seconds from the seafront so it’s less of a loss.
From £105 per person
Regency Mansion, Kemp Town
SLEEPS UP TO 18
This is the one that gets sent into the group chat and immediately derails all other options. Five floors, grand Regency proportions, chandeliers, marble fireplaces — it’s less “righton Airbnb and more townhouse. The main dining floor sets the tone: a long table, velvet chairs, and enough space for everyone to sit down together. Upstairs, you’ll find high ceilings and French doors, with sea views through those classic sash windows. It’s the kind of place where getting ready feels like an event in itself. Then there’s the cinema room, which speaks for itself. Location-wise, you’re in Kemp Town — close enough to the centre, but with better coffee, better brunch spots, and the sea at the end of the street.
Good to know: It’s big (five floors big), so expect stairs and a bit of movement between spaces. Bathrooms are more limited than you’d think for the size, so timing still matters.
From £120 per person
Eastcliff House, Brighton Seafront
SLEEPS 16
The main event. Eight bedrooms, almost all en-suite (which, at this size, changes everything), and uninterrupted sea views from basically every level of the house. Inside, it’s luxurious — marble worktops, a La Cornue range, big open kitchen and dining space. There’s also a bar setup and multiple outdoor spaces — front garden, rear terrace, balconies, and a roof deck — so the whole house shifts throughout the day depending on where the light is. Upstairs is where it really gets good. Sea-facing bedrooms, balconies off the main spaces, and a master suite with a dressing room and freestanding bath that will make the bride feel like the main character. Location is as central as it gets — right on the seafront, overlooking the pier, with everything a short walk away.
Good to know: You are on the main road, so expect some noise if the windows are open. Also, it’s five floors, so pace yourself on the stairs.
From £150 per person
