Two more Lexuses are available for staff to drive you anywhere within a five-mile radius. Beach parking permits are available to borrow (one per room), along with a limited number of beach towels and chairs; the restaurant will also gladly pack you a picnic lunch for your beach day. Should you prefer not to bike or drive to the beach, the hotel also has a seasonally operated free beach shuttle for guests.
At the hotel
Swimming pool, spa, gym, gardens and farm, bicycles to borrow, free seasonal beach shuttle, four house cars, free WiFi throughout. In rooms: iPad, flatscreen TV, free minibar snacks, iPod dock and radio, Jambox speakers, alcohol minibar, Chadsworth & Haig bathrobes and, in the Cottage Suites, Nespresso machines.
Our favourite rooms
The rooms in the main house have an historic charm, and those in the Cottages have a subtly more modern style. We love both, depending on our mood, but we have to admit we fell for Room Six, a third-floor House One-Bedroom Suite with corner views over the front garden and a bathtub just made for relaxing in after a day at the beach.
Poolside
The heated outdoor pool opens exclusively for guests in time for Memorial Day Weekend and stays open to both kids and adults alike throughout the warmer months. The hedge-lined deck has plenty of sunloungers and umbrellas to tempt you to lounge poolside; a grill provides fresh snacks and a bar service guarantees you’ll never go thirsty. Parents should note that the pool does not have a lifeguard.
Spa
The spa at Topping Rose House has four treatment rooms, and holistic in-room treatments can also be arranged.
Packing tips
Your driving license for when you borrow one of the house cars and a cheque-book so you can take home the Winston Wächter Gallery-curated painting in your room.
Also
Private Pilates and yoga sessions can be arranged.
Pet‐friendly
Dogs under 35 pounds are welcome, for £35 a night. However, dogs are not permitted in the public areas and are only permitted in Cottage Rooms. See more pet-friendly hotels in Hamptons.
Children
The hotel is best suited to older children, but all are welcome. Cottage King Suites are ideal for families, with their connected rooms; in other rooms, beds can be added for a fee. Babysitting can be arranged.
Eco‐friendly
The on-site Topping Rose House Farm provides the majority of produce for the restaurant; most other ingredients are still sourced locally and are organic and free-range as much as possible. Cleaning products and toiletries are all ecologically friendly, and bicycles are available to borrow.
