Brooklands Country guest house

This was where we stayed during the weekend. Brooklands Country guest house is a bed and breakfast situated about a mile south of the historic town of Arundel and 1.5 miles from the railway station. The guest house is a converted hay barn, with its interior an elegant mix of modern fixture and traditional façade and wood beams. As far as guest house and bed and breakfast goes, this was one of the best we have been to.

Our comfortable room (which was formerly the loft) was fitted with a king size bed, a 23" LCD telly with Freeview and electric shower. In addition to that we had access to a bath, an indoor heated swimming pool and plenty of sofas to chill-out. Our host, Pauline, was very friendly and helpful and made us felt welcomed. If we were to visit Arundel again, there is little doubt to where we will seek accommodation from.

Weekend retreat at Arundel

Was in Arundel for a short weekend retreat and was very lucky. While the awful weather battered much of the north, we here were fortunately spared. It wasn't as cold or as windy and it was sunny for much of the day. As a bonus yesterday also happened to be World Wetlands Day so we did spend some time at the Arundel Wetland Centre. Here are some pictures.
