The hotel has 120 rooms that range from standard doubles to junior suites \u2013 all designed for comfort and relaxation. Having arrived early, we were greeted warmly and were only required to wait a few minutes before the room was ready. Excited we had a quick walk around the vicinity \u2013 it was a great location and the fact that there was a wedding taking place during our stay was evidence of that. The photographer was using every visual feature, especially in the gardens was testament to the serene design.<\/p>\n

The tennis courts are perfect for those staying at the Felbridge over a weekend \u2013 and its popular. There is a booking system to ensure everyone gets to benefit from the courts \u2013 subject to the weather of course!<\/p>\n

The Room<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The rooms are spacious and there are plenty of rooms to choose from. The hotel is deceivingly large, corridor after corridor connects the hotel to the spa and restaurants.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n We had a fantastic view of the gardens from our room, which was equipped with the usual fixtures and features. We were also pleased that the spa influence had moved into the rooms, with Elemis toiletries as standard. We settled into the room easily, it was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for from a weekend to rest and recharge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Chakra Spa has a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi. There is a seating area outside the pool and you can order drinks directly to this area using the spa phone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The spa itself is small but it has the basics you would expect when you need to recharge. The swimming pool is a well-designed feature of the spa, unique in setting and certainly popular. The spa itself was frequently visited by members of staff who were going back and forth from the restaurant to deliver drinks and nibbles to the hungry spa goers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eager to try out one of the treatments on offer from the spa, we settled for a massage. The service from the staff was great \u2013 constantly ensuring we were aware of how the procedures would take place, the timings and whether we wanted any refreshments after the treatment. The massage itself was refreshing \u2013 the rooms and ambience was perfect to unwind. It was a perfect way to set us up for dinner; hungry we tried out the hotel\u2019s fine dining restaurant Anise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anise was quiet when we arrived but around 9pm more and more peopled decided to turn up for dinner. The menu was simple in selection but certainly provided a refreshing combination of dishes for meat eaters and vegetarians.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We tried the Seared Diver Scallops (Cheese and Bacon Beignets, Sweet Potato Puree) which were presented well. It was a simple but tasty starter that was a great introduction to what we would expect the main to live up to.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Tasting of \u201cHogget\u201d Lamb (Cured Ham wrapped Fillet, Thyme infused Saddle & Sweet Breads served with Root Vegetable Dauphinoise) was a great treat. The position was fair and the quality of the meat was perfect. The waiter pro-claimed it was one of his favourites and we could tell why. The combination of the lamb and the sides were clever \u2013 the result was great satisfaction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe Spa<\/h4>\n
