More best Christmas hotels in South East

Gravetye Manor, East Grinstead

Jeremy and Elizabeth Hosking’s beloved and beautiful Elizabethan manor house stands in glorious gardens, amid 1,000 acres of woodland.

Cliveden House, Taplow

As you approach this glorious Italianate Thames-side summer palace designed by Charles Barry and set in 376 acres of National Trust grounds, it ‘feels as if you are on the film set of Pride and Prejudice’, says a Guide insider (see also Chewton Glen, New Milton).

The Lamb Inn, Burford

The very model of an olde worlde inn, with its flagstones, beams, blazing fires and jumbled interiors, The Lamb sits on the edge of a picture-perfect Cotswolds wool town, in the aptly named Sheep Street.

The Gallivant, Camber

A trusted reviewer had a ‘great stay’ in 2020 at this ‘very welcoming’ restaurant-with-rooms, a skimming stone’s throw from the dunes of Camber Sands.

Bingham Riverhouse, Richmond-upon-Thames

Bang on the banks of the Thames between Richmond and Petersham, this former Georgian mansion turned ‘classic English hotel with a modern twist’ sits in a riverside garden and terrace.

Deans Place, Alfriston

In large grounds on the banks of the Cuckmere river, this extensively enlarged old farmhouse is a fine base for country walks and cream teas.

Bay Tree Hotel, Burford

A wisteria-festooned arch frames the entry to this prettily refurbished hotel, forged from a row of 17th-century honey-hued houses.

The Bell Inn, Brook

Flagstone floors, old beams and open fires at this 18th-century coaching inn make fine bones for the smart tweeds and bright wall coverings of its updated country interior.

Southampton Harbour Hotel, Southampton

Taste life at sea at this contemporary, ocean liner-like hotel jutting out over a private marina.

The Millstream, Chichester

In an ‘adorable’ South Coast village, and just a short walk from Bosham Quay, this family-run hotel stands set back from the road, in pretty gardens bisected by a stream.

Old Parsonage Hotel, Oxford

Built in the 1600s for a chop-house owner and chef, this gabled stone building has long opened its oak door to paying guests.

The Master Builder’s, Beaulieu

Views of the Beaulieu river can be enjoyed from this former 18th-century shipbuilder’s house, which has a ‘lovely setting down quiet lanes’ in a New Forest hamlet of Georgian cottages.

Old Bank Hotel, Oxford

Jeremy Mogford indulges his passion for art and literature at his luxury city-centre hotel, where the walls are hung with works from his collection, with a library for residents to browse.

The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne

‘Like an ocean liner’, this great, white Victorian edifice gazes over the water from the seafront of the resort town.

Sands Hotel, Margate

A short seafront stroll from the Turner Contemporary gallery, Nick Conington’s ‘smart’, modern hotel is a welcome part of Margate’s renaissance.

The Bell at Hampton Poyle, Kidlington

George Dailey’s honey-stone roadside inn, north of Oxford, is a popular village hub where locals come for the ‘excellent’ cooking – and where farther-flung guests settle in for ‘a very nice stay’.

The Runnymede on Thames Hotel and Spa, Egham

An idyllic spot for messing about in boats, this Thames-side hotel and spa is ‘so very relaxing’.

More on hotels for Christmas in the South East

From family escapes to romantic getaways, Christmas is always about spending quality time with the people we love, and taking joy in spoiling ourselves as well. Stylish coaching inns, manicured gardens, country house hotels, spa escapes, city breaks and country retreats. Good food, good wine and magical decorations are all part of what we’re looking forward to, setting the scene for fun, games and giggles. It’s all the more reason to leave the cooking to someone else so that you can make the most of the time together.
