We're looking to have a nice night away with our DDs 5 and 3 in July just after they've broken up from school / preschool for our anniversary. I'd love any recommendations for somewhere with a nice spa, good room service and somewhere child-friendlish - mine are v well behaved, so I feel like it would be ok to take them to a naice hotel now. This would not have been the case a year or two ago!
I've been thinking about Lime Wood or Chewton Glen but these are a little bit of a drive (and the traffic is always shocking in summer) for one night and that's all we can do with the holiday DH has left. We've been to these hotels before and to Babington, and that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. We're close to Brighton and have been to Ockenden Manor a few times, which is nice but it's not the same as Lime Wood / Babington. Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar hotel in Surrey / Sussex / Kent?
