The Henley sophisticate

Places that swirl a carefully mixed cocktail at their sea views or throw back the windows to let the fresh coastal air drift through rooms of subtle colour and refined style. These cosy places to stay with modern touches, all inspected and selected by us, are perfect for a holiday by the coast. We think you’ll really hit it off together. If you have a specific requirement in mind, don’t forget to use the “Sort & refine” button to find your true love.
