If you hope to scoop more than a half price discount on bed and breakfast rates at the rather exceptional four-star you may need to book early as this is property is proving increasingly popular with room4u customers. Maintained and managed to a high-degree by the Millennium Group this manor-style hotel is set in 100 acres of peaceful, secluded woodlands and mature, landscaped gardens. If you are anything like us the very mention of a manor-style retreat conjures up images of roaring log fires, sprawling leafy glens and an army of comically flustered footmen and maids flapping to and from guests rooms in a manner not unlike like that found on ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ or ‘Downton Abbey’. And this wouldn’t be wide of the mark.

A well-equipped leisure club offers a gym, swimming pool, steam room and squash courts. The Copthorne is situated just minutes from the M23 Motorway. Inclusive long-term airport parking packages and there is a shuttle service to the airport from 0505 to 2320 at a cost of £2.00 or so – R4U
