Latest Hove hotel reviews
chelston Says: Promenade just like the locals. Sundays are for walking along the seafront. Pre-lunch, post-lunch. Dog-walkers, families, everyone.Just people watching and enjoying the architecture.
TheLongTone Says: Johnny's friend Çem is a bit of a kite buff, so kiting was the order of the day.Hove seafront is not the best place to fly a kite really. Of course if the wind is suitable you can chuck a simple single-line in the air and gaze up at it, but there isn't really the space for a...
TheLongTone Says: Hove beach is a pebble beach. The rather sludgy sand only appears at low tide and it’s appearance is a cause for excitement.Pictured here is the traditional construction of a canal out to meet the incoming tide in order to speed the inevitable inundation.
TheLongTone Says: ....Trousers rolledthe sea is coldand we all got chilblains'Rhincratic Oaths' from The Doughnut in Grannie's Greenhouse by Viv Stansall (RIP) & the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band.
Gili_S Says: This park was actually just in front of where I stayed in Hove, here on a sunny day you can have a nice & relax picnic, and if it is really getting too hot, the beach is just a 2 minutes walk from here.
Gili_S Says: You do not really associate England with a beach life ha? True, and here in Brighton & Hove is not exactly England, the beach is where everybody is….. In the summer ;-)
themajor Says: Ah, the Great British Beach Hut! The beloved box of delights into which you can fit many things...as long as they are all incredibly small. Amazingly these tiny wooden huts can change hands for thousands of pounds - and why? Well, they enable beach bathing Brits to bring a...
themajor Says: Any blighters thinking of invading Hove should pause and reflect now. For though we might seem mild and middle class you should be aware that we have our own nuclear deterrent! And what, may that be? Namely our beacon!Back in 1588 King Philip II of Spain made a dastardly...
Woodies: American diner in Hove
chelston Says: Reliable diner that has salads, wraps, burgers, shakes etc... There's also a breakfast menu.The decor is American 50s surfer(although they are about to redecorate so it may change). It gets very busy on Sundays, and evenings in the week its fairly buzzy.We've been here...
chelston Says: Never eaten in the restaurant strangely enough but I've sheltered from the rain and wind here on rougher days. The thing that sets this place apart though is the ice-cream. It is made on the premises. There is usually a very long queue at weekends on brighter days. I...

Othellos: this restaurant has gone downhill
chelston Says: This used to be a good reliable restaurant for pizzas, pasta and italian food generally. No more. On a recent visit the service was appaling, and the pizza terrible. Don't go!We used to go regularly, but hadn't been there for a while. We won't be back. How would you fancy an...
Gili_S Says: The local transport of Brighton & Hove is easy to use, there are only buses here, no trams or underground but that is sufficient for the basic needs. Anyway, to most places around the centre you can just take a walk.
chelston Says: West of the King Alfred sports centre there are a few huts where fishermen sell their catches. Need to be there early, and I've only noticed them open on Saturdays... Fish!
Brighton and Newhaven fish: Made famous by Gordon Ramsay
chelston Says: Just by Hove Lagoon there is a great fish and seafood shop. It used to be known to locals only but ever since Gordon was televised buying there its been more popular and expanded.Great selection of fresh fish and seafood. Also frozen.No good if you are staying in a hotel,...
AUDREY'S CHOCOLATES: IMPECCABLE TASTE
themajor Says: Celebrating 60 years in business since their shop opened in 1948, Audrey's are renowned in Brighton and Hove for making the finest traditional handmade chocolates. Their speciality is fondant creams - I quote 'Traditional English Rose and Violets Creams are hand made in our...
themajor Says: You have no idea of the state and maintenance of other peoples groynes, so jolly well keep clear! Falling off a groyne can be dangerous, so don't mess around with 'em!!
..'ER...THESE ARE THE ONES I'M TALKING ABOUT!
themajor Says: No sniggering at the back! I will not have double entendres in the classroom!! These are the groynes in question!!!
SURFERS WITH A SMILE (AND TUCK TOO!)
themajor Says: These chaps at Ocean Sports Board Riders have been assisting all those individuals who like balancing upon waterlogged planks since 1989. Apparently they are the biggest surf shop in the UK - more than likely, as there are hardly thousands of 'em filling the high streets....

HOVE INTO VIEW! (BRIGHTON'S RESPECTABLE BROTHER!)
Well might you ask Sirrah...and so I shall tell you! Hove is the respectable elder brother of that raffish ne'er-do-well Brighton. If Brighton was where you died to live, Hove was where you lived to...

HOVE ALBION Poor old Hove. Not only does it share a footie team with Brighton, they are one of those unfortunate teams that play in claret and blue. Doomed to be upstaged by it's more glam...

So just to be very clear here, Hove is not all alone, it is actually two towns that joint together, Brighton & Hove, obviously I had to visit here to realise that, and so it is. Brighton & Hove.

Hove....the posh end of Brighton (apparently)
Brighton and Hove joined together and were awarded city status fairly recently. I think that meant greater priveledges all round and lets face it, we all want to pretend to be more important than we...
