Now open, Lindys beautiful B&B

Posted:2 November 2012

If you’re booking a Garden House course or workshop why not make a weekend of it and stay at a local Brighton B&B?  Garden House friend Lindy Craig-Hall and her husband have a beautiful family home (the children have all grown up and gone she stresses!) overlooking the extensive green and trees of the wonderful Preston Park.

This late Victorian house has a very English country home feel, yet The Garden House and Brighton’s city centre are just walking distance away.

The décor is charming and comfortable and highlights Lindy’s love of vintage furnishings, textiles, mosaics and ceramics mixed with more contemporary paintings.

Lindy is also a keen gardener opening her garden regularly for the local Garden Gadabout open gardens weekends.  The large garden is on several levels; nearest the house, stunning bright pink painted and pot-covered steps lead up to the next level of lawn and perennial beds, then up a few steps again to another lawn, the greenhouse, summerhouse and seating where you can sit back, relax and enjoy.

The accommodation comprises of two bedrooms with use of your own bathroom (roll-top bath!) as well as a first floor sitting room, perfect for relaxing and unwinding in your own space within this stylish and comfortable house.

Another Lindy touch is the homemade cake and fruit in your room as well as the usual tea and coffee making facilities.

Lindy is charging £75 for a double and £45 single, but if people stay longer than one night the charge goes down. Breakfast is continental and served with delicious fruit salad with organic yogurt.

You can contact Lindy direct tel: 01273 564746 / email: lindycraighall@aol.com or through The Garden House when you book your workshop if you are staying with Lindy, you’ll receive a 10% reduction on your Garden house booking!
