More best romantic hotels in South East

Gravetye Manor, East Grinstead

Deep in the Sussex countryside, a romantic Elizabethan manor house, built by an ironmaster for his bride, stands amid 1,000 acres of historically important gardens, pleasure grounds and woodland.

Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton

‘There is a timeless elegance to Raymond Blanc’s gorgeous country house hotel, where English–French relations reach a deliciously stylish entente cordiale,’ say Guide insiders.

Jeake’s House, Rye

Swathed with creepers and bedecked with flowers, this wildly atmospheric B&B stands on a cobbled street in a medieval citadel with views over Romney Marsh.

The Pig in the Forest, Brockenhurst

Pigs have foraged in the New Forest since the Norman Conquest, but a different breed arrived in 2011, when Robin Hutson took on a Georgian hunting lodge and reinvented the English country house hotel.

The Gallivant,

The name says it all: a place to skip along Camber Sands, enjoy backgammon in the bar, chill in the garden or relax with yoga – and with no children to disturb the peace.

Drakes, Brighton

Indulge in a Pornstar Martini in the sea-facing cocktail bar at this stuccoed, bow-fronted Georgian seafront hotel, for this is Brighton, after all – hip, tolerant and fun.

Bingham Riverhouse, Richmond-upon-Thames

You can paddleboard on the river, stroll to see the deer in Richmond Park, and feel a world away from central London at this smart, multifaceted Thames-side hotel.

Lime Wood, Lyndhurst

A New Forest bolt-hole, this country house hotel has an easy glamour, romantic and family-friendly rooms, heart-warming Italian food and top-notch spa.

Belle Tout Lighthouse, Eastbourne

Remote on a cliff-top between the English Channel and the rolling downs, this decommissioned 19th-century lighthouse found new purpose in 2010 as a unique B&B.

Daisybank Cottage, New Forest

The name has an Enid Blyton ring to it, and it sits in a dingley dell on the edge of the New Forest, but this single-storey Arts and Crafts cottage is home to an entirely grown-up B&B.

Artist Residence Oxfordshire, South Leigh

With funky artwork in the bar and attractive salvaged furniture, this is not your conventional thatched village inn, but it brims with a quirky charm and a warm, open-to-everyone welcome.

The Pig at Bridge Place, Canterbury

A short hop from Canterbury, a Grade I listed Jacobean mansion and former music venue that once hosted rock legends such as The Kinks, was the sixth addition to Robin Hutson’s Pig collection

Deans Place, Alfriston

Hike along the South Downs Way, or meander along a country path to the village green from this dog-friendly, family-run hotel in large grounds on the banks of the Cuckmere River.

Bay Tree Hotel, Burford

A charmingly refurbished hotel, forged from a row of 17th-century houses in picturesque Burford – gateway to the Cotswolds.

Hever Castle B&B, Edenbridge

If Anne Boleyn could return to her childhood home, she would be astonished to find a ‘wonderful B&B for history lovers’, housed in a ‘Tudor village’ in landscaped parkland with Italian garden, Japanese tea house and 35-acre lake.

The Old Railway Station, Petworth

Readers report transports of delight this year after staying at this B&B, occupying surely Britain’s prettiest disused station, a former stop on the Mid-Sussex line in the South Downs national park.

The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne

A ‘perfect position for walking on the Downs and the beach’, this majestic, white Victorian hotel is on the seafront and has views stretching along the coast.

Sissinghurst Castle  Farmhouse, Cranbrook

A draw for garden-lovers, this serene Victorian farmhouse B&B is sheltered by a National Trust estate of ancient woodland, farmland and Vita Sackville-West’s acclaimed gardens (tickets for Sissinghurst Castle may be purchased at the gate).
