BEAUTIFULLY BRITISH ESCAPES
Sinah Warren
Sinah Warren is situated on Hayling Island, an exclusive inlet reached by a causeway from the Hampshire coast. A large, elegant, modern hotel on a location that was originally a health farm in the 15th Century, it has many rooms overlooking Langstone Harbour, with balconies or garden patios. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens, and the fresh sea air, Sinah has plenty of activities – from its indoor pool, to giant chess in the garden, a spa and tennis courts. There’s live music and entertainment every night, and the excellent restaurant, The Driftwood, caters for all tastes. Guests can stroll along the coast, or visit nearby Portsmouth Harbour, home to Nelson’s HMS Victory.
Gunton Hall
Gunton Hall has a distinctly rural feel; it may be within walking distance of the beach, but it's surrounded by Suffolk woodland, gardens, a picturesque lake and pitch and putt course. It’s a relaxing seaside destination, within driving distance to the Norfolk Broads or the famous village of Southwold. There is a range of rooms, from luxury Royale rooms, which are part of the original historic building, to stunning lodges or simpler chalets in the gardens. The village square, bowls and leisure centre and large dance floor create the buzzing, sociable atmosphere that Warner is well known for.
