For a pampered UK minimoon, head to the pretty dunes of Climping in West Sussex and the glorious faux-medieval Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa. Bring out your inner bodice ripping with a stay in a four-poster suite - the top one has a log-burner and side-by-side rolltop baths. Indulge yourselves in the spa with its beautiful outdoor pool and the elegant Tapestry restaurant.
Recommended place to stay: Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa
Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa says
This atmospheric hotel was originally built by Lord Moyne as the home for the Guinness family in the 1920s and that feeling of a seaside home still pervades. Romance is never far away either, from the mullioned Gothic windows and crackling log fires to the 30 acres of parkland with a moat.
There are just 39 rooms scattered throughout the estate’s Medieval, Thatch, Court, Coach, Moat and Gate Houses. The fabulous vaulted Baylies Room has its own oak four poster, wood burning stove and two rolltop baths.
Superb modern English cuisine is served in the elegant Tapestry Restaurant and, in the summer, the rose-clad courtyard. Enjoy sparkling wines from RidgeView, crab and lobster from Selsey, lamb from Ditchling and game from the Balcombe Estate.
Our award-winning spa, built in the style of a Sussex barn, boasts an outdoor pool and hot tub as well as a tempting array of treatments.
Climping Beach is a few steps away and there’s great sailing at Littlehampton or racing at Goodwood.
If you can’t bear to spend your honeymoon without your four-legged friend, dogs are welcome too and even have their own Bailiffscourt Doggie Room-Service List.
Bailiffscourt is a member of the privately-owned Historic Sussex Hotels group whose passion is to turn beautiful historic buildings into luxurious country house retreats.
