“Our 2 year old cockapoo Archie absolutely loves going on walks and staying with Rorie and Rebecca. They take him on a walk 3 times a week to different places and it’s a great way for him to socialise and have a good run around! We love how they send us pictures and give updates. They have also been flexible when we’ve had last minute schedule changes. We highly recommend Tigers if you’re in need of dog walking or day care!”

“We recently booked a trip with To Tuscany and found ourselves in a beautiful villa right in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. It really was a very special trip for us and the guys at To Tuscany just made it better with helpful tips and advice on the best ways to explore Florence & Siena - they were also very good at recommending the best places to get an ice cream :) All in all a great experience and one I would gladly repeat again.”

“Really lovely pub, feels very homely even when really busy. Close to the station and a great atmosphere every time I've been”

“We stayed 4 nights in a ground floor double room. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room was nice and spacious, bed was comfortable. It was hot week and they kindly put a fan in the room. The lounge is relaxing and comfortable with a nice outlook onto steyne gardens. The breakfast is amazing, can't fault it. Excellent choice and quality plus the service is top class. Staff are really nice and helpful, we didn't get everyone's names but big hi to Vicky and Tim. We will definitely stay again next time we're down that way from Essex. Best wishes Ian and Denise.”

Highly recommend them! ❤️”

“Lovely location and good quality rooms. Great value. Breakfast was good. No bar and restaurants for lunch or evening meals at present. Self check in was online and a bit excessive but most of the questions can most likely be ignored.”

“Just revisited after a range of improvements have been made by the new owners. The hotel/bar/restaurant has a much better flow to it now and the bedrooms have been decluttered, leading to a much better look, with a place now for your luggage. Rooms seem really good value for the area. Would definitely come back again.”

“I came here during pride and the staff were amazing. So sweet and caring, everybody were in such great spirits and really welcomed in everybody and made them feel taken care of. The food was fresh and wonderfully crafted. I had the lucky catch which was calamari with fish & chips as well as mushy peas with a spin. I had some of their handcrafted nonalcoholic drinks. The passion fruit spritz & the ginger one were great. The alcoholic drinks looked great but I had to work later so we kept it PG. I enjoyed everything 10/10. They’re right by the beach as well so there was beautiful scenery all around.”

“After coming here with three friends twice a week since Lucy opened up the Italian Coffee Shop, I thought it time to say that this little gem in Shoreham is what it is because of the way Lucy runs this place single handedly. It's spotlessly clean despite her being busy the whole time whilst handling often large parties of people. lovely coffee is presented beautifully with a small glass of water and a biscuit. Food and delicious cakes as well as afternoon cream teas etc are all prepared and served with the same care and attention. Hopefully, the counterpart of the adjoining Tosca's restaurant, fully appreciate what they have in this hard working lady. The coffee shop is managed so efficiently by the welcoming, smiling Lucy that I thought she really deserves a rave review. Well done to you. Both yourself and Tosca's should be very proud of not only your efficiency, but your warm and friendly hospitality. A rare combination these days. This place just wouldn't be the same without you. D. D.”

“A fabulous Sunday lunch at The Freemasons yesterday. All dietary requirements were catered for. The crumble and ice cream that followed were delectable. A huge thank you to everyone involved”

“Consistent tasty food. Authentic Hong Kong menu and very reasonable prices. If you like sweet and sour HK style or roasted pork or duck etc you’ll love it here. Other dishes are great too! Staff are attentive and polite and food is served quickly, hot and fresh! Definitely has the 鑊氣!”

“Yummy lunch, fun buzzz and great view over the English Channel. Best of All , you can take your Pooch ! And great for Sunset Drinks....amazing location.”

“Very enjoyable experience, food & drinks was lovely with the view and water adding a beautiful dynamic to the old school vibe of the building. Definitely recommend a visit!”

“Stayed here for a couple of nights with my friend. We were bowled over with Michael & Paul’s top class hospitality, friendliness & attention to detail.

Lovely guys & I’d highly recommend staying here when visiting Brighton. 10/10”
