From
FranceThis is an absolutely charming pub/restaurant in the middle of the Sussex countryside with a few rooms. All around are lovely walks and views, and it is only a shortish drive (albeit down very narrow country lanes) from Lewes, Hove, and Brighton. Our room was very comfortable with a splendid bathroom, and lovely view. We ate dinner on Saturday night and it was inventive and delicious cuisine using a lot of local ingredients. Highly recommended, not least because the owners and staff are particularly friendly.

A real treat!
This is a charming and delightful former country train station, 2 miles outside Petworth Village and close to Petworth House.
Our accommodation was in the restored classic Pullman train carriages, each converted into 2 en-suite bedrooms. The carriages stand along the platform next to the station building, where a satisfying breakfast is served ion the old waiting room! The carriages themselves are fitted out with a good sized double bed. Most of the original paneling and decor has been retained and the room is decorated with period artifacts which give authentic character to the whole experience.

We have stayed at the Swan before and have always had a wonderful vist. The staff doesn't treat you like a customer, they treat you like family. The rooms are clean and comfortable with modern bathrooms. The food in the restaurant is terrific, and the location, right in the heart of Arundel is perfect. You don't need a car if you intend to just explore the town and all it has to offer. Staff members such Yvonne, Ellen, and Rebecca go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay. I must add that the Swan's chef is very talented.

Comfortable bed. Spacious, modern bathroom with large walk-in shower. Large drawers/storage if staying long enough to unpack. Little porch with 2 chairs and table, nice to sit and briefly relax. Large outdoor terrace with tables for afternoon tea/drinks. Large indoor guest lounge space. Daily papers available. Lots of free parking on-site. Lots of nice walking from hotel. Close to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters.

The Buffet at breakfast was very good with a variety of choice.
however, I do think that teas and coffees should be served in teapots and coffee containers instead of self service.
It would also be nice for toast to be served instead of having to wait in line to use the toaster.

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.
