"High quality accommodation with bags of character."
Overview
The Horse & Groom is former blacksmith's shop, which is more than 200 years old. Inside are many original features such as flagstone floors, wooden wall panels/beams and exposed stone walls. The bar is cosy and the restaurant has plenty of character, as well as 2 AA Rosettes. Bedrooms are delightful with a lot of thoughtful design choices and comfortable furnishings.

About the area
Divided from East Sussex back in 1888, West Sussex has a variety of landscapes and coastal scenery, but it is the spacious and open South Downs with which the county is most closely associated. There are plenty of walking routes in the South Downs National Park, cycling routes by the sea or visitors can explore the pretty town of Arundel with its historic castle and buildings.
