| The Stanwell is a luscious hotel whose every surface and fabric bursts with fruity, jewelled shades of vibrant colour. Velvets and silks adorn windows and cover plump cushions. Burnished bare boards and York stone flags create stylish floors. An eclectic mix of junkshop finds prints and antiques fill the rooms with a riot of images, and even on the dreariest winter day the spirits soar.
Dining at the award winning Stanwell House is to a very high standard and local produce is used wherever possible. Dining at night is always by the light of many candles. The pretty walled gardens is sheltered and south facing for a spot of al fresco and the conservatory is a cosy year round meeting place for dining, beverages or just plain idling. The emphasis at Stanwell is on friendly, unobtrusive yet efficient service. The ambience is gentle, romantic, decadent at times, but always relaxing. There are no dress codes.
On the A27, close to junction 12 of the M27 motorway and the A3, the hotel offers great value, with free parking and spacious, comfortable and modern en suite rooms.
