I learned the art of buying art at Brighton's Clarendon Fine Art

‘Art,’ said renowned landscape painter Robert Genn, ‘is a form of love. Art is the ultimate gift. Art heals life.’ Wassily Kandinsky, the pioneer of abstract art, went even further. ‘To create a work of art,’ he decreed, ‘is to create the world.’ It’s also pretty handy for covering up a crack in the wall.

But with its genteel charm – it’s practically bursting with elegant Victorian and Edwardian houses – fascinating, yet quirky, history, and proximity to both dramatic coastline and stunning countryside, it’s a popular destination in its own right.

The perfect ingredients for a luxury stay at a country hotel? A long, sweeping gravel drive (haven’t you seen Brideshead Revisited or Downton Abbey, for that matter?), four poster bed, and a chef who can transform local, sustainable and seasonal produce into a stunning four-course meal that leaves you salivating for days.

REVIEW: Just Between Ourselves at Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park Theatre
