The Honeymoon: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller (Totally gripping thrillers by Rona Halsall)

Product Information

Home of the South Downs, which boasts some of the most romantic walks in the UK along ridges overlooking rolling, chalky hills and heathlands, West Sussex is where the Bloomsbury set hung out in the 20th century, but today it could rival Champagne with its venerable vineyards, Norman castles and stylish hotels. Appropriately, the out-of-this-world food isn’t the only thing that’s diverse—there’s architecture, art, and ancient ruins to be explored. Go for the tasting menu and you'll get at least 14 courses of exceptional skill, balance and creativity: an egg shell containing a yolk in mushroom broth; a finger of turbot in nasturtium butter; the dinkiest caramel mousse sitting on compressed apple, for example. Anguilla is known as the ‘Caribbean’s culinary’ capital and the hotel makes good on this reputation with its three culinary establishments: Ocean Terrace, Meads Bay Beach and Salt.

Rooms are purposefully low-tech; Room Five is the winner for romance, with original hand-painted wallpaper, poetry-inspiring views of the River Tamar and a chaise longue that’s made for swooning. What was once a derelict farm has been transformed with some 40 reclaimed timber cabins (some with private decks complete with copper bathtubs and waterfront views) flanking four man-made lakes and the original 18th-century farmhouse buildings across 100 acres of Oxfordshire countryside. A key part of the appeal of staying here is the panoramic views from most of the rooms: far out to sea across St Brides Bay, and inland across the rolling Pembrokeshire countryside and up to the gaunt Preseli Hills.

Floor-to-ceiling windows mean triple glazed Crittall glass and modesty blinds are crucial: some rooms overlook the courtyard and tables and others the Soho jungle. The hotel has 27 elegant suites, 14 Provençal villas and its own Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Voile. The bedrooms are very different in style: downstairs is more cottagey, with a pretty Art Deco king-sized bed and bi-folding doors opening onto a private section of deck; upstairs is larger and more luxurious in style, boasting a super-king bed with a window reaching from the floor to the eaves, looking out over the sea. They each have a sunken bathtub, underfloor heating and a ‘sky bed’ which sits precariously atop a glass floor (not for the faint-hearted). There is a palpable sense of history in the wood-panelled long gallery where kings have dined and in the grand formal rooms; other features include a collection of rare Gyles painted glass, leaded windows, thick wooden doors and limestone fireplaces.While the hotel has a vast array of gastronomic treats on offer, the Mistral Restaurant — which is led by Michelin starred Chef Ettore Bocchia — is worth a trip on its own. It’s also a little magical, with fairy pools, curious rock formations such as the Old Man of Storr and the chance to see breathtaking wildlife like eagles and otters as you sea kayak to secret bays. Surrounded by the hotel’s 100 acres of private land, it is also the perfect spot for hikes, guided walks and meditation.
