Located in the heart of historic Arundel and the perfect position to explore the town. Greeted warmly by Maggie upon arrival and throughout our stay.

Wonderful place, staff exceptionally helpful, friendly and attentive. Lots of character and history to the house and area. Beautiful grounds and surrounding area. Good breakfast, decent size room and comfy bed. Great views of the grounds from our room (17) with quirky steps up to bathroom which had a great shower. Would stay again, thanks for a lovely stay.

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 very pretty country town dominated by a magnificent castle and beautiful old buildings; a museum, the WWT Wetlands Centre; a lake; independent shops; lots of antique shops to suit every pocket which we thoroughly enjoyed mooching around; a huge selection of cafes and restaurants (We had a birthday supper at The Parsons Table - delicious!) and endless possibilities for walks along the river and in the surrounding countryside (South Downs).

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.

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.

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.

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.
