Accommodation & Rooms

Each room has a private shower room, a flat-screen TV/DVD, tea and coffee facilities, and a fridge. Guests enter through a private entrance separate from the pub, allowing independent access at any time. The rooms are on the small side but include fresh bedding, towels, and a comfortable bed, with daily housekeeping provided by the owner Sue.

Breakfast & Dining

A light continental breakfast is served in the room each morning, including fresh croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, juice, milk, and a selection of teas and coffee. The pub itself serves no food, but guests have a wide choice of restaurants, shops, and nightlife on Western Road, just 30 metres away. Nearby options include The Modelo Lounge and Otello Italian restaurant, both recommended by returning guests.

Location & Transport

Bow Street Runner is located in the centre of Hove, 100 metres from the seafront and a 15-minute walk from The Lanes in central Brighton. Brighton Pier, the Royal Pavilion, and the Theatre Royal are all about a mile away. A bus stop is 30 seconds from the door, and Hove train station is a 30-minute walk, with direct trains to London in 90 minutes.

The Pub Experience

The Bow Street Runner is a traditional pub with no loud music, no games machines, and no food - just a bar serving Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter, Amstel, Madri, and Guinness. Guests have a separate entrance and can come and go without passing through the pub. The pub regulars, including resident dog Bo, are described as friendly and welcoming by many past visitors.

Practical Details

On-street parking is available, and the pub sells 24-hour parking permits for £10 per day. Staff will carry large suitcases up the two flights of stairs. Guests can store luggage after checkout to explore Brighton before their train.

“The charm here lies in the thoughtful touches and a distinct sense of place, blending a homey atmosphere with the convenience of a private entrance. It's a straightforward, good-value find with a truly welcoming spirit, especially appreciated for its quietude and thoughtful in-room breakfast provisions.”
