Property code: OC-BBIVY2

Located on the border between Brighton and Hove and less than 300 metres from the seafront, this charming mews cottage offers the ideal seaside retreat for a couple or small family and one beloved hound. With two parking spaces and a private, enclosed garden, this two-bedroom cottage has everything you need for a fun city break, yet it’s easy to escape to the South Downs for walkies.

This light and airy cottage has a homely and welcoming feel as soon as you step into the open-plan lounge/diner. Sink into the two sofas after a busy day’s exploring, your four-legged friend snoozing contentedly while you watch TV. Prepare meals for all the family in the compact yet convenient kitchen, and eat together at the dining table or in the rear courtyard garden, while your pup potters around or stretches out in the sun. At bedtime, head upstairs for a restful night’s sleep in the double and single bedrooms, ready for a new leash of life in the morning.

Brighton and Hove is a vibrant destination – and very dog friendly, too. Take your top dog for a morning stroll along the prom, or head onto the beach at certain times of the year (April to September has dog bans on many beaches, so always check first). There are several gorgeous parks, including Preston Park and Queen’s Park, or you can head out of town to explore Devil’s Dyke (5.5 miles) or the South Downs National Park, which starts within the city’s boundaries. Within the city, enjoy a picnic in the grounds of the Brighton Pavilion, explore the independent boutiques in The Lanes and North Laines (many of which welcome dogs), and enjoy the dog-friendly cafes and restaurants.

The location is perfect, abd having 2 parking spaces and outdoor space is fantastic! Yes its a little mis-matched and dated but it is very clean and has everything you need.

Great location just by the sea, short walk to town and quiet. Love the door system that means you can come and go independently. Outside space was nice and a good range of kitchenware. The parking is tight so back in if you get a chance.

We had a lovely stay at Ivy Mews. It was wonderful being just a short walk from the sea. The parking for two cars was an absolute bonus although Im glad my friend and I only had small cars.

Really pleased we found this cottage, location is perfect for us as we have family only 15 minutes away. Parking is a bonus, we travel there park car knowing it's safe and don't use again until we return home. The cottage is comfortable warm and cosy, had 2 visits so far and hope for many more.

Perfect location, parking space great but very difficult to manoeuvre into, virtually impossible to park unless you have a small car or no one else is parked. Cottage adequate and clean but requires a lot of updating, looks tired and dated.

We have stayed at this cottage I believe six times now over the past 20 years and we love it. Its in a quiet spot with parking, the cottage is excellent and in a very good location. only five minutes from the sea and the same to all the restaurants etc and a very good bus service. We hope to book again 2025..

The only downside was that the next door neighbour told us we only had one parking space and not 2, which made parking awkward at times, other than that it was great
