Located in the peaceful seaside town of Bexhill, the award-winning Cooden Beach Hotel knows how to spoil guests with its choice of dining rooms as well as the delicious variety of dishes. For a contemporary menu, the hotel's Brasserie on the Beach is perfect.

This time of year, the glass-walled restaurant provides a moody backdrop with dramatic winter skies stretching out to sea. Particular menu highlights include the Surf and Turf, with a 6oz fillet steak and lobster tail, or try the Hot Steak Stone where you cook your own fillet steak on a hot lava rock! The chef's catch of the day is a good choice too and vegans and veggies have plenty of options, including a tasty Vietnamese Veggie Curry. Whatever you go for, save room for dessert. The caramelised pear and ginger upside-down cake with clotted cream is a real crowd pleaser!

The hotel's highly recommended Café Bar is your choice for afternoon tea, sharing platters and light bites. It's also where you'll find the Gin Bar! If you're visiting this quaint seaside spot in the summer, the hotel's terrace is perfect for people watching, cocktails and al fresco dining. And if you need overnight accommodation, the Cooden Beach Hotel has 41 stylish en-suite guest rooms, including interconnecting family rooms. Guests can also use the swimming pool, gym and sauna and book for individual spa treatments.

It's not a surprise that this hotel on the south coast is popular with repeat guests and returning diners.

Lion Quays has raised the nutritional bar with its healthy options too. Devised by the hotel's chef and fitness team, the meals on the menu at Nico's are designed to work with your lifestyle goals and promise to aid recovery and boost performance - the perfect accompaniment if you're staying here on one of the fabulous spa packages or you've hit the gym for a hard workout.

Sticking with being active, you'll need the nearby stunning Cruden Bay Beach for a post lunchtime walk when dining at the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel in Aberdeenshire! Situated in the heart of the coastal village of Cruden Bay, the hotel has an envious reputation with repeat guests and regular diners.

Serving seasonal dishes, Head Chef Ewan Bain and his team are using the best of Aberdeenshire's natural larder to create a delicious menu served in the hotel's 1888 restaurant. Scallops, sea bass, Peterhead haddock and Balmoral chicken are just a few fine examples of what to expect. Add in the super friendly service and great wine and whisky lists, and you'll appreciate why the restaurant is regularly rated ten out of ten.

The multi-award-winning Methuen Arms, in the pretty picture-postcard village of Corsham, is a stunning Georgian coaching inn with beautiful boutique bedrooms, bags of character and a tantalisingly tasty menu to nosh your way through!

Concentrating on seasonality and using local suppliers, including ingredients from their own kitchen garden, dishes are modern and exciting versions of pub classics. Leigh Evans is the creative and whether serving simple pub grub or more complex meals, he'll personalise dishes around diet and allergy requirements too.

Seasonal highlights to tuck into include the whole baked Tunworth cheese, British charcuterie, house pickles, seasonal chutney and Butcombe beer bread; it makes the perfect sharing platter. And for a main course, consider the baked Cornish sole, shellfish bisque, River Fowey mussels, fennel, samphire and saffron potatoes.

Award-winning food deserves an equally good accompaniment and with a range of craft beers, cask ales and fine wines, the scene is set for a most enjoyable experience.
