Advantages: Superb location. Comfortable, relaxing hotel, steeped in history. Superb staff. Disadvantages: Loud Christmas parties tended to conflict with the country hotel ethos!
We have just returned from a two-night stay at the (correctly-named) Avisford ParkHilton near Arundel on the south coast of England. Described by Hilton themselves as an hotel where ?You can live like a Baronet. After all, it was once the home of Baronet Montagu, Admiral and friend of Lord Nelson. Set in 89 acres of lovely gardens and parkland in England's south downs, Avisford park is as majestic now as it ever was?, we were really looking forward to our stay. It was the end of Amanda?s term at school and she really needed to be whisked away to somewhere peaceful. And that?s just what I did.

My partner booked this hotel for 2 mid-week nights as a surprise treat for my birthday, she chose this location as it was near-by to the very beautiful Arundel and selected the Hilton as we had never stayed at one before but believed their name to be synomonous with "excellence".
On first arriving our impressions were of a lovely old building that had retained all its original features, set in extensive well-maintained grounds (although most of it seemed to be a golf course) with sufficient parking for all.
Check-in was friendly and quick before we were directed in the general direction of our room. As we turned into the corridor the first thing that hit us was the strong smell of chlorine permeating throughout, secondly was our ascension up three flights of stairs to our top floor room, laden down with our luggage this was quite ...
