The newly refurbishe­d Pommery Room at the top of the house is gloriously bright with a huge bay window, plus a side sea view, gorgeous gold and grey furnishing­s and a fab bathroom. The super-king bed is AMAZINGLY comfortabl­e.

Blanch House is partnering with the prestigiou­s Pommery Champagne brand and the room was inspired by its 19th century founder Madame Pommery.

THE FOOD

Possibly the best full English hotel breakfast I have ever eaten, with locally sourced bacon, eggs, sausages and delicious field mushrooms. Even the jam on toast was a joy.

The hotel also offers private fine-dining with sublime gourmet menus for every occasion. Stuff yourself silly.

THE SERVICE

Outstandin­g. Guests are soon on first name terms with the owners, managers and staff at this little gem of a hotel.

LOVED

Breakfast. Best way to kick off your day. The homemade lemon curd was to die for.

HATED

Only being able to stay one night. And it was a shame the rest of Atlingwort­h Street, where it’s situated, is a tad tatty.

BOTTOM LINE

Rooms start at £115 a night. The Pommery Room starts at £195.
