Hotel Review
The high ceilings and classic feel of the handsome old building blend seamlessly with the new wing, which expanded the tally of well-furnished rooms to 38 and added an impressive spa and pool. We like the excellent staff and less formal Reflections Brasserie, where the Monkfish with Thai red curry sauce is superb. Finish with a liqueur by the fire in the Library in winter and burn off breakfast exploring the numerous trails of the undulating estate.

The cool hotel guide: Alexander House Hotel, West
Down by the colonnaded basement pool, water gurgled in a giant hot tub that can fit 20. The lighting was dim; the water piping hot. Roman-style urns stood between Doric columns. Chilly West Sussex felt a long way away: we had been transported to Italy in the glory days of the emperors.
