Welcome to GuestHouse Hotels - an independent hospitality group created by three brothers, Tristan, James and Tom Guest, with a love of creating one-off, wonder-filled hotels.
This autumn, settle into restorative suites and bedrooms, indulgent spas, and dishes you won't find anywhere else - all shaped by the character of the city or coastline they call home. Whether you're after a crisp city break wrapped in golden-hour light, or a slow, soul-replenishing escape by a quieter sea, every GuestHouse is made for this season: breathe it in, let the pace drop.
You'll find Pearly Cow waiting in most of our hotels too - our sister restaurant, serving the freshest catch and indulgent cuts in beautiful surroundings. Think long, unhurried lunches, candlelit dinners as the evenings draw in, and every mood in between.
Whether you’re chasing the restorative salt air of Margate and Brighton or the storied, golden-hued charm of Bath and York, our houses are yours.
We don’t believe in "standard" stays, which is why you’ll find everything from tucked-away boltholes for the solo explorer to grand, characterful suites for the whole kindred crew.
Every space is a curated tangle of hand-picked antiques, sink-in textures, and those essential home comforts - with just enough quiet wonder to make you feel like you’ve discovered the hotspots' best-kept secret.
Our Victorian beauty of a beachfront building, perfectly placed at the heart of this art-filled, fun-filled town. You’ll find beach view bedrooms, a restaurant, rooftop bar and spa.

Spend Christmas at No. 15 Bath - stay as you like in the lead-up or on our 2-night Christmas package for the big day. Bath's market is the UK's best-loved for good reason; come and see it twinkle for yourself.
Join the fun at No. 1 - children and four-legged friends always welcome. The city glows in winter: head to the markets, then enjoy fireside cocktails in our Rhubarb Bar and dinner at Pearly Cow.
Christmas at No. 124 Brighton is a feast for all the senses. We've created a number of packages for you to join us for Christmas at ours. If you're looking for a seaside Christmas getaway near London, this is for you!
Christmas at No. 42 Margate is a feast for all the senses. Margate is always special but the festive season is perfect for breezy dog walks along the beach, hot chocolates and cosy nights in Pearly Cow watching the waves.
At ours, Christmas is indulgent, familiar, and wrapped in all the cosy layers of tradition - with a few GuestHouse surprises tucked in along the way.
Choose from our two or three-night festive stays, designed to bring Christmas to life, the GuestHouse way. Expect canapés by the fire, a proper Christmas Day lunch with every trimming and plenty of little luxuries throughout your stay.
Or perhaps you're planning a party, festive away day or a just an annual catch up with friends...
Stay Sunday – Thursday this Autumn and we’ll reward you with our best rates.
Caring for your skin - and yourself - is the work of every season.
Step into our tranquil hotel hideaways to discover restorative therapies designed to bring you back to your best. It’s a place for slower mornings, unhurried afternoons, and that welcome feeling of having nowhere else to be.
Everything here settled you: soft light, natural textures, and a cocooning atmosphere. Our treatments focus on restoration - soothing massages and personalised rituals shaped around what you need - so you leave feeling lighter and truly looked after.
Sunday Roasts at Pearly Cow are our love letter to the weekend.
As the colder months roll in, we bring together the finest local produce - championing nearby farmers, growers, and coastal suppliers in every dish. Our chefs take the classics and give them a proper Pearly Cow twist: beautifully cooked meats, crisp roast potatoes, vibrant seasonal veg, silky gravy, and irresistible sides like cauliflower cheese and slow-braised red cabbage.
But a Pearly Cow Sunday isn't just about the plate; it's the long, unhurried afternoons with people you love, a glass of something good in hand, and every reason to stay just a little longer.
Get swept away with your wedding day at No. 124 Brighton. Say 'I do' in the chicest of settings - or perhaps at the famous Pavilion - and experience the wild freshness of Pearly Cow's wedding menus.
Make yourself at home with a whole-house takeover, with room for 64 to stay the night and 100 (or more!) to party.
From intimate “just-us” ceremonies to a room full of kindred spirits, we’ll host the day with calm hands and excellent taste. Slip away for portraits on the beach, then come home to crisp sheets and a nightcap. If you can picture yourself here, let’s write your story together.
