Great British seaside breaks: 10 best bed and breakfasts

For an artistic stopover

Nineteen, Brighton, East Sussex

Ideally placed for a weekend break in this holiday spot, eight-room townhouse Nineteen is more than just a seaside B&B. Its communal areas double as a showcase for local artists, and the rooms are more Hoxton than Hove - beds in the King Rooms, for example, incorporate light installations. Breakfast, served in your room, comes with Bloody Mary or Champagne.
