This accommodation was beautiful and in a lovely setting. This was an excellent hotel with high quality meals and facilities. A lovely breakfast was included, and the hotel had a wonderful large country home feel with long fires and beautiful decor. There is a separate cafe opened during the day and the property is adjacent to a lovely country walk and gardens. There was access to sitting areas and a sitting room as well as lovely outdoor areas. There was plenty of parking.

One of the best hotel spas we've been to in England! The place is really well maintained, has all the charms of yesteryears but the conveniences of today.

Lewes is a wonderful small town situated within the South Downs. It is quirky with its own real charm. Conveniently located for both the beautiful countryside and easy access by train to Brighton for its cosmopolitan vibe and beaches.

Access to the beach is not too difficult for someone whose joints creak a bit. A long slope with hand rail is helpful. Our sunny but bracing walk along the prom was enlivened by cheerful visitors and dogs . The outdoor cafe afforded shelter from the wind and good coffee. After 2 hours we walked slowly into the village and were charmed by the buildings and quirky shops,the Grange library and art gallery,duck pond and church with Burne Jones windows. We found very clean toilets inside the church too. Thanks for this.We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rottingdean.

Petworth House (owned by the National Trust) has one of the biggest and best collections of art and sculpture in England. Its car park is 10 minutes walk away, but you can use it also to walk out into the interesting old town/village, which has hardly any parking: the ticket for the House allows you to come back in again. The House has a big deer park with lake, with big views, which you should allow an hour or two to walk around, and have tea and cake when you get back.
