About The Halfway Bridge Inn
The Halfway Bridge Inn takes its name from its position roughly midway between Petworth and Midhurst on the A272, within the South Downs National Park and close to the Cowdray Estate. The inn itself is around 250 years old, and its restaurant and bar have built a strong local following for food that goes well beyond standard pub fare.
Accommodation is arranged in Cowdray Barns, the inn's former stable yard, with eight en-suite rooms including three deluxe suites, plus a separate shepherd's hut with its own double bed, shower room and woodburner. Rooms are supplied with organic toiletries and fresh milk replenished daily, and dogs are welcome in the shepherd's hut for guests travelling with pets.
With Petworth House and the town centre only a few minutes' drive away, and Cowdray Park and Midhurst equally close, the Halfway Bridge suits couples wanting a quiet, boutique base with a serious kitchen attached, rather than a stay in the town itself.
