From London to Hastings
Posted: Wed August 13, 2008 03:09 PM UTC

How far is it from London to Hastings? What is the quickest and least expensive way to get there? Can anyone recommend inexpensive places to stay? Has anyone been to Judges Bakery? It is owned by Craig Sams and is totally organic.

B&B - 1 night
Posted: Sat July 26, 2008 10:08 AM UTC

Hi, I'm getting really frustrated! Every B&B/hotel that I look at has a 2 night minimum stay at weekends! Can anyone suggest a nice place to stay that's central and allows 1 night stays? No more than £90 a night. Thanks!

Brighton in May
Posted: Sat March 22, 2008 12:46 PM UTC

As mentioned in a previous post I plan to go to Brighton for the day during the festival in May. What I would like to know is if the Hop On Hop Off bus will run during the festival and if I will need any other transport to get around. Won't have a car.
Thanks.

Cheapest, fastest way between Eastbourne and Penzance
Posted: Wed March 19, 2008 08:17 PM UTC

After driving about 50,000 miles in the UK, husband doesn't want to drive anymore. Going to Eastbourne to see friends. Then want to go to Penzance on a one-way journey. (Have RyanAir tickets from Newquay to London Stansted for the return.) Could leave from Gatwick or village along coast within 50 miles of Eastbourne. Anyone know the fastest, cheapest way to travel?
Both travelers are post 65 yo. Is there a special train ticket-can't get OAP discount because we are American. Almost 13 hours by bus for 38.5gbp/person. Cheapest Flight on Southwest from Gatwick to Newquay gets in to Newquay too late to get bus for Penzance.

Brighton Festival 2008
Posted: Mon November 5, 2007 12:52 PM UTC

Hi,
I have found out by chance, browsing on the net, that Brighton has a festival in May. I will be in London for 6 days and am wondering if a day trip to Brighton would be a good idea or if it would be too frantically busy. Have never been to Brighton and would love to see it.
Thanks, Norah

Beachy Head
Posted: Sat July 7, 2007 11:20 AM UTC

If I arrive by train from London, how could I get to Beachy Head, and how long would it take to get there and also walk along the cliffs (roughly, of course---just to give me an idea of the time involved)? Thanks very much.

Hilton West Pier???
Posted: Wed April 25, 2007 06:27 PM UTC

I am trying to find the Hilton West Pier, but to no avail. The phone numbers listed on this site don't work...does anyone know how I can contact them? I've called Hilton and they don't even show that this hotel exists, and told me that it is the same at the Hilton Metropole, but that is not what I've found elsewhere.

Help!

spiders in sussex
Posted: Thu September 21, 2006 04:18 AM UTC

I am very afraid of spiders

With the kidding going on I can't tell if Lancaster has lots of spiders or not.

Does Sussex have spiders? I have to decide on a school. It's between Sussex, Lancaster, and Glasgow. I want a nice area, with something to do, good scenery, and virtually NO spiders. Do any of these areas fit the bill?

Brighton Rock....the sweet....not the book
Posted: Wed August 16, 2006 06:16 PM UTC

I might not have taken notice of Brighton if not for the documentary showing the making of the Brighton Rock. However, I couldnt find any information online as to where in Brighton this sweet is made.

I'd love to visit the shop when we fly to UK from Singapore in September, even better if we could have a factory visit to see in person how this sweet is made.

Any VTers gone for such tours or could provide a lead?

Hen night advice
Posted: Tue July 25, 2006 04:19 PM UTC

Hello
Can anyone recommend a decent bar in Brighton that I can take a well-behaved group of hens? We want somewhere stylish, with lots of seating that has a dance floor and a late license. Music that would generally appeal to most people. I'm trying to avoid walking around at midnight looking for a club!

Thanks a bunch.

Hastings bus/coach station
Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 10:51 AM UTC

Hi,

I will travel to Hastings on a National express coach. However, I have no idea where to find the coach station in Hastings. The ticket says something about "Queen's parade", but I can't find this street in any city map only "Queen's road". Could anybody tell me where to find an online town map where I can see the buc/coach station or perhaps just tell me where to find it?

Best regards

Good cheap place to stay
Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 05:49 PM UTC

Hi everyone
A mate and I are going down to Brighton this weekend and need somewhere good to stay, probably in a dorm. Our preferences (call me picky...) are:

Somewhere with lots of travellers, not stag do's etc
Somewhere with no curfew, as we'll probably fancy a few beers
Somewhere within easy walking distance of the centre

If anyone knows of places, please give me a shout.
