Wonderful Brighton
A lovely house with lots of extras provided - this made life much easier for people arriving without a car. In our case it was especially suitable for teenagers who want to spend time without adults around! Lots of useful shops and eateries within a few minutes walk and an easy walk or bus ride into the centre of Brighton.

Christmas in Brighton on remember
My wedding was in Brighton just after Christmas so I booked my very large family a place where all 14 of them could spend together. Portland Place really exceeded all our expectations. Not only was it as described but seeing it in person was even better. It was also decorated for Christmas which made it feel cozy and festive since they were all there from Christmas eve onwards. I came over for dinner a few times and the main kitchen and table is the first time that all 15 of us could fit around a table. We had some memorable dinners and chats. Overall, would highly recommend for anyone hoping to have an unforgettable stay.

Wonderful stay
We never get our family together as they are spread far and wide so needed a large house to accommodate us all in a great location and this property met all our needs. It is huge and has everything a large family needs. It is spectacular but also feels very relaxed and everyone felt at home there immediately. We are definitely going to make this an annual event and really look forward to staying again next year. Thank you to Tracy and the owners for your comprehensive support and joining instructions - these were amazing. I would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely Outstanding
From the moment we booked the property Faye and Tracy were in contact and supplied so much useful information, and instantly answered all of my questions. Before we arrived we received information on how to operate everything in the house which was so helpful. On arrival we were welcomed by 3 bottles of champagne and WOW, the house!!! Just stunning. Everything was so clean and everything we needed was there. The house is stunning and beautifully decorated, it was just a perfect stay and everyone commented on how lovely it was. The location is just perfect Would highly recommend and thank you so much for a perfect stay and all your help Faye and team xx

Best house in Brighton
The house is grand, beautiful and has everything thought out. Rooms are beautiful, bedrooms look like 5 star hotel rooms and kitchen has everything you ever want. We had the best time, close to the beach, neighbourhood is full of happy surprises, including amazing bakery just around the corner. With teenagers there is all the space for everyone to enjoy the house. Great house to explore Brighton and beyond.

Elegant house for seeing Brighton and the English Channel
This house is an elegant place to stay when visiting Brighton. There is a gorgeous view of the English Channel from the house. The kitchen is very well stocked for preparing meals with plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, and useful modern appliances. There is a ultra modern coffee machine, an electric kettle for boiling water for tea and other amenities in the kitchen. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are lovely with showers and old fashioned tubs. Hot water is ample and towels are very thick. The location is a short distance from the Brighton Pier; not too close so there is no unpleasant noise. The area is quiet at night allowing one to sleep peacefully. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this rare, restored English house and thank the owner for her courtesy and kindness.

Lovely stay in great location
Lovely property, clean and well equipped. Great location for the pier and marina. There are a number of great shops and cafes near to the house for breakfast - would recommend the Egg & Spoon. Only consideration for less mobile guests is that 3 or the bedrooms are on the top floor; lots of steps!

Beautiful large property.
We had an amazing stay. The house is gorgeous. We were a large group celebrating a birthday and there was plenty of space. Lots of attention to detail. Short walk to the pier. The only thing that let us down was the weather. Big THANK YOU to Faye, Ian & Jon.

About the host

Hosted by Faye Phillips

Host profile image
Faye is your host and looks forward to welcoming you to 2 Portland Place, Brighton. Originally from London, Faye made Brighton her home in 1997 to enjoy the diversity and vibrancy of the ever-evolving open and friendly ‘London city by the sea'. She has a passion for period properties and creating comfort and beautiful aesthetics for her guests to enjoy. She loves to create the perfect guest experience.

Why they chose this property

Until the summer of 2015, the Regency Society had nominated 2 Portland Place as one of the most at risk buildings in Brighton and Hove.
With peeling paint and a crumbling facade, the house looked unloved and neglected – a fact that could not have been further from the truth.
The previous owner, who had actually been born in the house, felt so strongly about it that he chose to take on the labour of love that restoring the building would entail.
Sadly, after a decade of meticulous stripping back the project stalled when the sheer scale of the task became overwhelming and the house was put up for sale.

It is rare to find a Regency townhouse that has not been converted in to flats and our dream was to continue the renovation in a manner and style befitting such a building and to return it to it's former glory.

It's location in the heart of Kemptown village makes it the ideal base for exploring Brighton and it's surroundings or getting your friends and family together for a gathering to remember!

What makes this property unique

PRIVATE CINEMA HOME THEATRE
The basement lounge also houses the private cinema home theatre system. At the touch of a button, the 2.5 meter-wide projector screen descends from the ceiling, the lights dim and change colour, as your chosen movie begins to play, brought alive by the 3D 4K high-end projector with immersive surround-sound Dolby Atmos 7.1 cinema sound system.

STATE OF THE ART SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
2 Portland Place, whilst being a 200 year old historic building, has been fitted with a state of the art smart home automation system, which controls the heating, lighting, security and entertainment systems, easily-operated via mobile iPhones, dedicated remote controllers, and fixed wall-mounted tablets, all provided for guests to use around the property.

Many rooms are equipped with studio-quality ceiling loudspeakers that can play any audio or video from the in-house entertainment system or from any guest phone, tablet or computer. The speakers seamlessly blend into the interior decor to faithfully reproduce the sound of a concert hall or movie theatre.

Each room's speakers can be set to play the same or different sources. For example, a movie can be screening in the cinema, while cooking and dining to your favourite music, as relaxing bath music plays in the master en-suite. Alternatively the same music can play in all rooms.

With the included Apple Music subscription, you can enjoy losing yourself in 60 million songs, with unlimited streaming ad-free. You can sing along with displayed lyrics and listen live to radio stations around the world. Tap into new music or your favourites with curated playlists from Apple's editors. Ask Siri to search for songs, even by lyrics.

The in-house security system allows that when visitors ring the doorbell, the fixed wall-mounted tablets and mobile iPhones provided for guests around the property communicate video and audio from the caller, allowing the opening of the door at the touch of a button.
