Only found this great place as we were planning a trip to Petworth and Amberley. Couldn't get in previous accommodation that we had used and glad now that we didn't. Lovely rooms, exceptionally friendly staff and food in restaurant was excellent although possibly a little pricey.

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.

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.
