We stayed at the fantastic Brightham House three weeks ago for five nights. We cannot praise it enough, wonderful hosts Scott and Alistair were so welcoming and couldnt do enough to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The hotel was beautifully decorated using different themes for the guest bedrooms, ours was called Brighton Rocks. Scott and Alistair have worked so hard to ensure a great atmosphere in their hotel. A comfortable lounge, a quirky bar and a tropical themed dining area. As for the garden it was beautifully designed and was a place of tranquility. We cannot praise
