Hotel-EAST GRINSTEAD-Gravetye Manor

Review

'A lovely place to stay.' This creeper-clad Elizabethan manor house (Relais & Châteaux) stands amid woodland in grounds (open only to hotel guests) designed by William Robinson, pioneer of the English natural garden. The hotel has a new owner: Jeremy Hosking, a fund manager. steam lomocotive enthusiast, and long-time fan of the hotel. Amy Gleadow, the general manager continues in post. A guest this year praised the 'warmth of welcome, charming staff, and pleasing attention to detail'. Bedrooms (the best are large) have fruit, magazines and books; 'large and comfy bed'. The quality of the cooking by Rupert Gleadow in the oak-panelled restaurant (with open fire and patterned carpet) has been praised. The style is eclectic modern English, eg, poached ballotine of organic salmon and crusted racked new season lamb. 'Expensive, but achievable when you can get a special rate.' (Tony and Marlene Hall, Janine Roebuck)
