The Gather Inn

Liked - We booked the property on short notice after our booking was cancelled at another hotel, and they managed to accommodate us with a four bedroom room with an en-suite. The shower temperature was great, the room size was decent, and there was a bar downstairs with a happy hour! Staff were all very nice, especially the night porter who let us in, he was fun. Late check-in at the weekend (11am) was also really brilliant.Disliked - The room was sold as having a sea view however, the view was actually of a water sports practice area, not the sea. There was a fractional view of the sea behind some buildings in the distance. The room temperature got really warm overnight and there was no aircon - we couldn't open the window overnight as it had no latch, and the wind would blow it wide open every time we opened it. The room also didn't have any teaspoons, or enough cups for four people. One of the beds also had stains on the sheet/duvet. For the price we paid for one night I would have expected better.

Went for dinner and the quiz, we didn't stay overnight. Food was really nice. A good fun evening.

Attended a private function in the downstairs bar. Lovely pub which was clean and well decorated. Lots of space and reasonably priced. Staff lovely and food for the private function was very good. Allergies are catered for. All of this and a sea view and opposite Hove Lagoon. We will definitely be back.

Lovely pub, with a great view of Hove Lagoon!The staff are excellent, the food is amazing! Have been here for roasts, mains and small plates. All excellent and tasty!

The staff are so friendly and helpful. Your made to feel very welcome,rooms are lovely very well kept with beautiful views. The pub is great with perfect service and brilliant food. I would recommend staying here and would happily stay again.

All staff were super friendly and helpful from start to finish, including the security guard!Rooms are kind of what you'd expect as a 2 star. However, the cleanliness wasn't great. The shower head and sink plughole were grimey, and the bedsheets and duvet had stains on. The toothbrush holder definitely hadn't been cleaned in a while, so i kept mine in my case. It wasn't grim, but it could definitely be a lot better. I expected 2 stars to be basic but cleaner. I'm just mentioning the things i noticed.I booked the attic room with a mate (which has a lovely view to the left side) but unfortunately was unbearably warm on a warm day and had an extremely small bathroom which you can barely dry yourself and get changed in. The only saving grace at night was the big loft window you could open, but it didn't do anything during the day unless you literally stuck your head out of it.I would stay again, but avoid the attic room and ask for a fan (which i was told all rooms had, but there wasn't one!). Also, the bar is decent enough, and there was a super friendly barmaid, but the glass my drink was served in was filthy. So much so that i left my drink.

Great location if you want to visit Brighton during the day but want a place a little quieter later at night and you can park for free on the street. The room was clean, warm and surprisingly quiet as it faced the main road. Service was friendly and efficient.

Stayed here for one night.Service was friendly, staff were excellent.Accomodation is very basic, not super comfortable.Had lunch, roast dinners, ok but not outstanding.No breakfast available which we felt was a shame, for the price we paid.Quite shocked at the lack of disabled toilet facilities but otherwise quite a nice place.

Visited the other night to try some of the new Caribbean menu. The food was immaculate, the staff were so friendly and chatty. Beautiful location to watch the sunset from over the Lagoon!
