Wedding anniversary - nice hotel in south east please

[desperatehousewife]

Everything I have looked at on the internet is either too far away, fully booked or too expensive (ie: £160+ per night).

Looking for 2 nights (weekend) beginning of September, don't want to drive too far to get there.

Anyone know of any good websites for romantic getaways or classy boutique type hotels. (Babington House would be my ideal but it's £250 per night!!)

Thanks

aaat rowhill grange i mean

try this

copthorne has telephone in bathroom

also a jacuzzi bath

It is a while since we stayed there though

What about this? might be too far though but cheapish

which weekend

ie dates please?

does it matter which one?

do you want fri/sat or sat/sun or sun/mon ???????

Is that £160 for both of you or per person per night?

ooh like that one www

Can't do a link - but what about Newick Park near Lewes? Rooms are fab and it's definitely small and boutique like!

Or...Gravetye Manor - in East Sussex.....

How bout this ??

Keep recommending it to everyone cos its beautiful!!! Wanted to have my reception here but wasn't big enough but the rooms were beautiful and fairly reasonable.

Its in West Sussex, bout 15 mins away from Goodwood/Chichester.

HTH xx

you girls are amazing! Thank you so much for all of this. Sadly my budget is £130-ish per night, per room. Not per person!

sarjon - i really wanted to stay there, but it's fully booked !!

This could have been my post a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for exactly the same for our 3rd wedding anniversary and I was horrifed by the expense.
Finally I booked the garden lovers break in August \link{http://www.theoldbell.com/here} They have been really helpful, obviously they are trying to build up. We got a really good deal and managed to get a deluxe room. I'm chuffed to bits, I can't wait.

I hope dh enjoys the surprise.

Sorry

Mrs D - Does look very lovely, but a bit country cottagy for me...want something more in the line of a slick hotel.
Also, little bit too far to drive. Thanks though. Hope you have a fantstic anniversary!

Alexander House Hotel in Turners Hill, not too far from Ashdown Park... dont know what the prices are like
I got married there and it is beautiful.
will try and find a link for it.

for your budget it might be best to look at upmarket b&bs.

what about Manor Farm Oast?

it was recently featured in The Times Top 10 B&Bs...

for something slick i think you will need to squeeze more £££ from somewhere!

Alexander HouseHotel

big shame they're fully booked

How bout this ??

I stayed here just over 2 weeks ago for my 1st anniversary - went to Longleat whilst here and to Weston Super Mare and had a ball!!!

Gorgeous hotel but maybe too far away for you?

or here ??

This is in Emsworth which is just outside of Chichester - or is it too countryish for you?

Sarjon - that looks great - better price too! just phoned them and they sound lovely. Will check out website again.

Thanks so much for all ideas.

Excellent!!! I've heard some great things about this place - really friendly people who run it apparently.

Good luck with booking!

Thank you everyone for all your great ideas....phewie, that was a full time job finding somewhere to stay that was right, but within budget. Gone for a Hotel du Vin....very very excited - hoping to be made to feel special and pampered!
