"an
amazing time, so memorable"
Andy and I had an amazing time at the Lighthouse and
we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I think you are
both a real asset to Belle Tout and I told Mr Shaw
that when we were leaving. The two of you really
made our stay at the Lighthouse so memorable. We
definitely want to come back.

"a
wonderful weekend, everything was perfect"
Hi guys
Thank you all for a wonderful weekend. We had the
best time and the midnight dramas only added to our
adventure.
From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and
everything was perfect. The tea & hot cross buns and
then wine whilst watching the sunset were an added
bonus to an already great stay.
Keep up the fab work! We will be back!
Kathy & Simon
"excellent weekend, great experience"
Paul & Nigel
Thanks very much for the excellent weekend.
It was such a great experience and such a fabulous
place to stay. I think I bored everyone at work
today with the details. Actually a few were very
interested so I've referred them to the web site.
It's a really small world I was telling one of my
colleagues who lives in Dorking and mentioned that I
met someone at the weekend from Dorking. It turns
out she knows Niki and Nigel who were staying at the
lighthouse with us.
Thank you both for making our visit really special
and I'm sure we can find a suitable occasion for a
re-visit.
Many thanks

"fantastic trip, never forget"
Dear Paul and Nigel,
Many thanks for a fantastic trip to Belle Tout. We
both agree that everything was just perfect and we
will never forget our experience.
Hope Paul managed to enjoy some part of his
birthday?
We will certainly sing the praises of the Belle Tout
experience to all we meet and we are quite sure that
we will be revisiting this year.
Warm regards,
Tony Williams
"lovely breakfast, relaxing break"
Hi Paul and Nigel,
Too full up to eat a morsel in Seaford, thanks to
your lovely breakfast and it was a bit of shock
facing the weetabix this morning!
We are also both back to work today, but feeling
rested after our relaxing break at Belle Tout. We so
enjoyed our time at the light house.
Kind regards
Janet and Dennis
Ps - Dennis is looking ‘very well’ - red has always
been his colour J

"glorious time, excellent hosts"
Dear Paul and Nigel
We had a glorious time with you at Belle Tout. Your
desire to make it like a house party was brilliantly
executed. We felt really welcome and greatly enjoyed
chatting to the other guests. You are both excellent
hosts and have mastered the delicate art of being
available without being intrusive.
Please convey our best wishes and congratulations to
Mr and Mrs Shaw they were both charming and the
Belle Tout is a "tour de force".
Thank you both once again for a splendid and
memorable weekend.
Very Kind Regards,
Nigel & Nickie
"magical place, didn't want to leave"
Hi guys!
I really enjoyed my stay at the lighthouse - the
only problem was I didn't wanna leave! It's horrible
being back to the real world after visiting such a
magical place! My poor apartment, lovely as it is,
can't quite compete with the Keeper's Loft...
You guys are doing a wonderful job and giving your
guests an amazing experience. Your hospitality will
certainly keep everyone happy! I will be back,
that's for sure... I wish you the best of luck for
the summer at the lighthouse!
Best wishes,
Maria
Lighthouse keeper
PS. I only got hungry around dinner time - your
superb breakfast kept me going all day!
"perfect, a very special weekend"
Hi Paul & Nigel,
Thank you both for your email and of course, your
hospitality, which made our stay perfect. Your hard
work and passion for the place is commendable and
clearly shows. It was a very special weekend for us,
we just wish we could've stayed longer! We were both
quite sad to wave goodbye to the lighthouse when we
drove away.
We tried to find some internet clips on the
lighthouse move and the renovations last night but
most of the clips have been taken off by now
probably. We will keep an eye out for future updates
however.
The very best wishes to you both, we hope we'll see
you again in the not too distant future.
Jayne & Nat.
"totally entranced, bowled over"
Dear Paul and Nigel
You will have gathered from our comments in the
visitors' book and our general demeanour that we
were totally entranced by the Belle Tout, which wove
a very special magic - a bit siren-like, trying to
lure us back again. And we were bowled over by your
hospitality, professionalism and attention to
detail. Would that all hotel managers were like you!
One of the highlights of our brief visit was meeting
Barbara, the owner.
Best wishes
Roy & Nancy
"a
great time, a lovely place"
Thank you Paul & Nigel for a fabulous weekend. Can’t
stop talking about it. You were both wonderful which
makes such a difference to a break away. We did
relax and had a great time. Please thank Mr & Mrs
Shaw for having the vision and taking on the mammoth
task of saving the lighthouse and making it such a
lovely place for people to stay in.
Thanks again,
Angie & Dave.
