We received a very warm welcome from the host. It is a lovely little B&B with a good mix of antiques and new design. Everything is very lovingly decorated. For breakfast we had homemade jam and even the butter is homemade. The location couldn't be better is in the heart of Arundel. There are many small antique shops and cafes. The castle is a few minutes walk away. We would love to come back!

Our room was beautiful: spacious, quiet, comfortable and very clean. Breakfast is in the adjacent pub, with several options ranging from pancakes to full english, in a lovely and cosy setting. We came by car (good parking available on site), which I would recommend doing as the taxi services in this area are very limited and hard to book. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I wish we could have stayed there longer. Would definitely recommend!

This was by far the most beautiful accommodation of our entire trip. Cozy, unbelievably clean, with charming décor and lots of style. A large, comfortable bed, and everywhere smelled wonderfully fresh. We stayed on Christmas Day and the pub was closed, so I don’t know what it’s like when it’s open — but even the pub room smelled amazingly fresh! There were delicious homemade cookies for travelers in the small self-service bar on the first floor. The entire property is absolutely lovely, and the breakfast was delicious, served in a cozy barn with a Christmas tree. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night — we would have loved to extend our stay right away.

I was really tired when I arrived after a long drive, The receptionist on the desk was truly lovely and helped me with my bags to my room. Room was on the second floor and was big and comfortable Lovely view of the lake. I used the pool which was lovely and quiet. The food at breakfast was excellent. Lovely business stay.

A lovely town with nice walking. Excellent selection of cafés and restaurants. The imposing-looking castle was unfortunately closed due to our visit being in the off-season, but the cathedral (and church) opposite were nice.

Lewes is very good as a place to stay if you are interested in history or just like browsing local shops. It also has excellent railway connections so you can get to Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne and up into Sussex by public transport. It is hilly and a good base if you want to explore the South Downs by walking. A good range of restaurants, pubs and cafes too.

Access to the beach is not too difficult for someone whose joints creak a bit. A long slope with hand rail is helpful. Our sunny but bracing walk along the prom was enlivened by cheerful visitors and dogs . The outdoor cafe afforded shelter from the wind and good coffee. After 2 hours we walked slowly into the village and were charmed by the buildings and quirky shops,the Grange library and art gallery,duck pond and church with Burne Jones windows. We found very clean toilets inside the church too. Thanks for this.We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rottingdean.

The spa was very well apportioned and it was very quiet and secluded. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely pleasant. One thing they must do in the restaurant is ensure that the wine ordered has arrived and ready to drink before the food is served. It is not good form to serve the food without the wine bottle even being at the table, let alone not opened.

Petworth is a delightful small market town with many antique and independent shops, pubs and cafes, a well-stocked Co-op, a post office and a spectacular National Trust property! A regular bus service runs to Chichester and Midhurst which takes in spectacular views of the National Park. Some lovely tourists spots within very easy driving distance - we visited Fishbourne Roman Palace, Bosham, Chichester city and marina and stunning Arundel Castle.
