Fodor's Expert Review Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa

Situated a few miles south of Arundel, this charmingly out-of-the-way country escape offers lovely period features, expansive private gardens, and one of the region's finest spas. With sleeping options spread out across a series of houses, cottages, and courtyards, most of which are (despite appearances) less than a century old, the rooms vary from highly decorative, medieval-style suites with four-poster beds to bright and breezy bedrooms with modern furnishings. Ask for a peek inside the 13th century chapel, one of the truly historic buildings in the grounds.
