(Bishop) George Bell House (GBH!), situated in Canon Lane in the centre of Chichester, in which I sit, is exceptional. It is some kind of Cathedral study / conference centre where we are having our Initial Ministerial Education 4-7 residential conference, but it is lovely and is kitted out so that people can come and stay here for wedding receptions and so on.
I believe there are 8 twin en suite rooms, a dinning room, sitting room, conference room, conservatry and garden. Wireless internet access, TVs in lounge and rooms, good service. Spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated.
It does need: a gong for summoning people to dinner and Bibles in the rooms. The temperature gague on our shower seems to be the wrong way round (just as ours is at home) and the clock in room 2 has stopped. But other than that...
Apparently all the cash came from some people-strapped religious community.
If you are a nunnery with too much dough, Holy Trinity Eastbourne would be delighted to put it to good use, by the way.

A dinning room: is that where you can go and shout loudly after each of the sessions?
Or play the gong...
Neil, in a very real sense, yes.
Oh, and it could use a piano too. Perhaps a lovely baby grand?
