I have just returned from a weekend in Brighton, which I found to be too crowded, too dirty with litter, too busy with tour coaches and too rowdy with T-shirted youngsters on stag and hen parties. Even more galling was that I had to book - and obviously pay out for - two nights' accommodation when all I wanted was one.I can understand that hoteliers need to make money during the summer but with room rates starting from £80 a night at a fairly basic three-star B&B, it's a rip off. Is it no wonder that people still say that their overseas holiday is one of the last things they are willing to forgo, even in the credit crunch. When will British seaside resorts learn that visitors want value for money?
Fortunately, we managed to find pockets of olde worlde charm such as the Grade II listed Bandstand on the seafront, which reopened last Friday (July 24). Here, we relaxed over delicious croissants, fruit pastries and coffee from the ground floor cafe while a splendid jazz band bellowed out mellow sounds from above.
It has taken a sustained two-year campaign to restore the bandstand to its former glory and I must say it was a highlight of my stay.
Later we dined on excellent crab sandwiches from the Traditional Fish Smokery. Housed under the arches on the seafront, Brighton's only remaining commercial smokehouse uses oak and applewood to flavour its kippers. They also do a fabulous fish soup.
