Felbridge Hotel Hotel

London Road East Grinstead West Sussex

Overnighting to or from Gatwick? This is far enough from the runway for quiet, close enough for a hassle-free check in. Rooms (some with balconies) have neat, angular furnishings. A small spa and pool let you tone up aching muscles. The Anise restaurant serves up a trio of Sussex beef: tournedos, cottage pie and oxtail, placing the menu in the Gary Rhodes school. End with the warm treacle tart and banana fritter. Doubles from £89.
