The homestay provides guests with a patio, mountain views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, and a shared bathroom with shower and bathrobes. A toaster, a fridge and stovetop are also offered, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the homestay, units include bed linen and towels.

I was in Brighton for a 3 day fair and South Downs View turned out to be the perfect place to stay! Comfortable, spotlessly clean, with 24 access to the kitchen to make coffee and tea and use all the facilities, as well as to choose from a wide range of the uncooked breakfast provided at a time to suit myself. Excellent bus service to central Brighton with the bus stop just around the corner which meant that I could leave my car there, saving on the exorbitant parking fees in the city. I totally recommend this property as the ideal home from home place to stay to relax and recuperate at the end of a tiring day. Karen is delightful and very helpful.

It was such a beautiful room decorated in classic style. I was impressed how thoughtfully they've touched on every single detail, from the earplugs right next to your bed - to the various charging cables placed exactly where I needed. I would humbly give 10 out of 10 for cleanliness, location, and value. Big thanks to Michael and Paul for their kindness and gracious hospitality. I'll definitely visit again on my summer holiday:)
