Travelguru Cathy Bartrop says:

Ideally placed midway between London and Brighton, right in the heart of the Sussex countryside, the Alexander House Hotel and Utopia Spa provides a luxurious setting for a short break or pre flight stopover (Gatwick is only 15 minutes drive).

It's always nice to have the choice of formal and more casual dining and The Brasserie complete with a firepit warmed courtyard is a particularly nice setting for al fresco dining. The Utopia Spa is way beyond the usual token in-house spa facility with a comprehensive range of facilities and treatments. In both the Spa and the hotel, the soft furnishings and décor, all handpicked by the owner, are really striking and compliment the hotel’s emphasis on the traditional with a modern twist.
