The Beachcroft Hotel.
Waking up to the sound of the sea gently crashing outside our beach hut suite was just what the doctor ordered after a hectic year. In true British seaside style, we kicked off our stay with a picnic hamper packed with continental breakfast while watching the winter sunrise from the green velvet sofa. It was a perfect way to start the day – a moment of true calm in what has felt like a crazy few months.
A little known oasis of calm on the South coast, Felpham, is home to the Beachcroft hotel and its beach hut suites. The hotel has literally bucket-loads of thoughtful family-friendly touches – from board games, buckets and spades in the rooms to the pool which you have completely to yourselves – every kid (and tired parents) dream. They even have a penthouse suite which would be ideal for a family hoping to staycation together on the South coast with two large rooms and adjoining social spaces. Beachcroft Hotel has even thought of the dogs with a number of recently refurbished suites that are specifically friendly to our four-legged friends with private courtyards.

As for food you have so many options. The hotel features a friendly bar area and it’s own restaurant – I couldn’t fault the cheese souffle which is no mean feat for a coastal restaurant. If you fancy something more relaxed they have a beach-side cafe or will even box up fish and chips for you to enjoy on the beach or on your terrace with a bottle of wine. My favourite foodie feature, however, had to be the picnic baskets. Our hamper on arrival was packed with fizz and fresh orange to make mimosas, a fresh seafood and meat platter, fresh fruit and even our own gingham tablecloth, perfect to enjoy out on the deck wrapped up under a blanket.

A good sign of a great stay is when you leave plotting when you’d like to come back, and that certainly was the case here.![Hotel Reviews 365 Magazine](https://theparentedit.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-29-at-10.47.29-1024x246.png)
