Best for...COASTAL CHARM

BAILIFFSCOURT HOTEL, SUSSEX

At the end of a narrow lane leading to Climping Beach lies Bailiffscourt, a stylish escape from the world. The heart of the hotel is an historic manor house with nine cosy bedrooms, a restaurant and a warren of lounges with squishy sofas. Scattered around the beautiful grounds are a further 30 bedrooms in thatched cottages and stone houses. The award-winning spa is housed in a glass-and-timber barn that's flooded with light, with indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzis, gym and treatment rooms. While it's tempting to stay cocooned in a Bailiffscourt bubble, the beach is a just a short stroll away for a coastal amble. Book it: Doubles from £370, B&B; hshotels.co.uk/bailiffscourt or prideofbritainhotels.com counter
