Staff friendly & very helpful. Plenty of parking.Spacious room Comfortable bed. The housekeeping let everyone down. Dirty tea stained teaspoons. Dubious spots on the duvet cover, and footend runner which had never been ironed. It rained that night and the rain- gutter outside the window of room 4 is obviously bocked so the resulting noise of overflow made for a disturbed nights sleep
Unironed bed runner.

Comfortable stay

Great location for Arundel. Wide choice of options for breakfast. All cooked food was excellent. Staff, particularly reception, were friendly and helpful. Only downside to our stay and the hotel was the abysmal WiFi. It was continually dropping out. We did query this with the hotel but no solution was found.

My friend and I were looking for a base to explore the historic towns, houses and gardens of this area, and struck lucky with this hotel. We were impressed by the pleasantly relaxed atmosphere, the quality of the food, the variety of dining and bar areas and the comfortable, well-maintained and quiet rooms (no audible traffic noise). Staff were friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff. A great location for visiting Arundel with the advantage of an off-road walk into the town via a bridleway at the back of the inn. The room was clean and tidy but a little tired. Overall good value for money and would definitely come back again.
