Idyllic and Attentive Experience
friendly staff superb views special cocktail outdoor pool
The staff greeted us all by name. Our enormous room offered superb views of the South Downs. I savored 'Tom's' cocktail. Tom Hamblet, winner of Masterchef the Professionals 2023 created it.
We enjoyed the outdoor vitality pool and various steam rooms, but the wild swimming pool was too cold. The changing facilities were very clean and robes were provided. I wish I had stayed longer
