"The Winchester offers a seaside location... old-fashioned style and some corridors lined with putting greens for a spot of golf practice." Full review

Rough Guide "A self-consciously colonial-style 1920s hotel, in a prime spot across the road from the seashore, with an atmosphere straight from the pages of Agatha Christie."
