Horsted Place, Little Horsted, South East England

• Live the high life: Fine dining in elegant surrounds, comfortable bedrooms with quality linen and all-mod cons, croquet on the lawn. When it comes to living it up in the Sussex countryside, Horsted Place does a fabulous job of pairing refined old-school glamour with contemporary comforts and friendly service.

• Get your lord and lady on: From the outside, this TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence-winner is pretty much a lord and lady’s dream of Victorian Gothic architecture – grand, stately and impressive. But inside the stunning mansion beats a heart of warm hospitality, with an inviting fire-lit drawing room, a sumptuous dining room served by an award-winning chef, and cosy accommodations.

• Romantic dining: The elegant dining room serves as a welcoming restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. By evening it’s adults-only, and worth arriving before sunset for fabulous west-facing views before settling down to a refined meal by candlelight. Listen to the resident pianist play during dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings.
