SLEEP: The White House

Whatever your budget, there’s certainly no shortage of places to stay. But for the ultimate Great British Seaside experience, this family-friendly bolthole has charm in abundance. Located in a quiet corner of Kemptown, just metres from the seafront, guests can relax in the comfort of their south-facing rooms which have either a walled garden or sea view. The suites are modern, sleek and sophisticated, but with inspired touches to remind you that you’re at the seaside ? think retro-print cushions, fresh flowers, Orla Kiely toiletries and bright ’60s-style furnishings. The Nespresso machines, boozy rum truffles and ever-replenished KitKat Chunky bars are a welcomed treat, too. Enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in the comfy beds, complete with warm throws and powder-soft pillows, and come morning, head downstairs for a delicious breakfast, home-cooked by professional chef and owner Sean Edlin. With everything from a full English to cereals, fruit and yoghurt on the menu, you’ll all be ready to face the day in no time at all.
From £85 per room, per night.
