About Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa
Bailiffscourt occupies thirty acres of private parkland at Climping, on the coast a few miles south of Arundel, built up in the 1930s from genuine medieval materials to create a manor house and cluster of cottages that look considerably older than they are. The thirty-nine rooms are spread across the main house and surrounding cottages, several with four-poster beds, roll-top baths or private gardens, and the estate's parkland runs down towards the beach at Climping.
The spa, built in the style of a Sussex barn, has an indoor pool that opens onto a heated outdoor pool and gardens, along with a steam room, sauna, relaxation room and fitness suite, and treatments run through Temple Spa. The restaurant serves seasonal menus built around Sussex produce, and the grounds, with their walled garden and grazing sheep, give the whole property a rural, slightly theatrical character that has made it popular for weddings as well as spa breaks.
Climping's beach is a short walk from the grounds, and Arundel's castle and cathedral are a short drive north, making Bailiffscourt a workable base for combining a coastal spa stay with a day exploring the town.
What guests say
I recently spent the weekend at the Bailiffscourt with a group of friends and absolutely loved it. The rooms are beautiful, the hotel is really well kept and the service was excellent. The staff were knowledgeable and polite, they really did everything possible to satisfy all our needs and answer our questions despite being really busy. This trip was organised to celebrate my birthday and so we booked several rooms. We asked for an early check in and a couple of rooms were made available for us earlier than 3 so we could at least settle before heading out. The staff at the restaurant were professional and pleasant. I can not remember the name of the lady at the restaurant but she was outstanding and friendly. The food was delicious. We had a great time at the SPA, even though the steam room wasn't really running 100% and I found the changing rooms quite small, with only 1 toilet. This did not spoil our experience. The grounds are lovely and 10 minutes walk from the beach. I highly recommend this Hotel and and I will certainly be back. A big thank you to the staff for making our stay so special.

My daughter treated me to a spa day, including lunch. It was wonderful, such a special place. The hotel and grounds are truly beautiful. The staff are professional yet friendly. The food is delicious, I had the grey mullet and my daughter had the chicken. The spa is really relaxing and offers so much, the massages were the best we've ever had! We need to save up and go again!

Wonderful hotel & spa. From the minute I drove into the beautiful grounds, I knew it was a special place. Lovely clean spa facilities, with heated outdoor pool which was fortunate enough to use thanks to some May sunshine. Most amazing massage. Huge room, lovely big bath & huge separate shower. The cleanest floor of anywhere ever stayed, no black socks here from walking on it! Fine dining restaurant with delicious food & every staff member was a pleasure to deal with, nothing was too much trouble & all provided excellent service. Plenty to keep you occupied with walks around the grounds or to the local pub & they have games available. This was a special treat to myself after a difficult period for some R&R however having been once, I'm hoping I'll be able to go again as it's the nicest place ever stayed & my time went way too fast!

Incredible hotel! The spa and gym was lovely: with an outdoor and indoor pool to choose from, a steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Archie the peacock was our favourite feature of our stay. The breakfast was delicious and there were many options. The architecture of Bailiffscourt is truly stunning and the nature around even more so, felt like its own little oasis and we had many peaceful walks by the sea. The staff were exceptional and beyond friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommend for a city break or anyone in search of a bit of peace and quiet! (Also, must compliment the fantastic interior design and funky crockery, the tea cups and breakfast bowls were fab!)

People say this hotel offers delicious afternoon tea with unlimited sandwiches and a variety of cakes, as well as a two-course lunch with options like sea bass and venison pie. They highlight the beautiful, intimate setting, especially around Christmas, and the attentive, pleasant staff. They also like the spa facilities, including indoor and outdoor pools, and the proximity to the beach for walks.
