If you ever visit Arundel, I would highly recommend you stay at House Arundel. The location is right in the centre of the town just next to Arundel Castle.. The proprietors, Rosie and James, are perfect hosts. The room was beautiful and spacious with a lovely homely feel. In the evenings, you can help yourself to a drink in the downstairs sitting area. Absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Perfect! Annexe was exactly as the photos. Very clean, not one cobweb (and believe me I looked due to spider phobia!) Excellent facilities, had a nice homely feel. Plenty of space. Shower was nice and powerful. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Loved my stay, would stay again.

Amberley Castle is one of the most special places I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The castle is beautiful, the rooms exceptionally comfortable & clean. With only 19 rooms it was never overcrowded so there was always a comfortable sofa to relax on, in one of the three lounges. The dinner was excellent, an unusual & varied "tasting menu" with a wide choice of wines. The staff in every area are friendly & helpful.

Breakfast was exceptional and the service was excellent. We arrived late (10.30 p.m) but our reception was very welcoming and we were told the bar would be open as long as we wanted. The room furnishings were old fashioned but only added to the character of this old country house.

Lewes is a wonderful small town situated within the South Downs. It is quirky with its own real charm. Conveniently located for both the beautiful countryside and easy access by train to Brighton for its cosmopolitan vibe and beaches.

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 House (owned by the National Trust) has one of the biggest and best collections of art and sculpture in England. Its car park is 10 minutes walk away, but you can use it also to walk out into the interesting old town/village, which has hardly any parking: the ticket for the House allows you to come back in again. The House has a big deer park with lake, with big views, which you should allow an hour or two to walk around, and have tea and cake when you get back.

Seaford is a great start point for the coastal walks in this area. Walking from Seaford to Eastbourne is a big challenge but rewarded with amazing views and an easy bu service to get back too. There are a few little gems in the town to eat in as well, I would recommend Pablo Picasso's.

The pub serves a good range of food and everything we tried was really good. There is a bus stop just across the road to make travel into the City easy.
