Places to stay have been carefully selected so that you can reach them easily - ideal for long weekends and short break holidays when short transfer times are important. Testimonials: "The location, ambiance and service at the hotel was wonderful. Everything was A1 and all the staff were delightful. The town was an ideal location both as a base and as a little resort in it's own right. If we didn't want to go far there were still lovely strolls and more interesting walks on the doorstep." Elsie Sedgwick, London, UK.
