Hotels in Slindon

Slindon is not a village of large hotels, and that is part of its appeal. Accommodation here tends to be small-scale and characterful: bed and breakfasts in flint-and-brick cottages, country inns with rooms above the bar, and self-catering properties tucked into the lanes around the green and the National Trust estate. Staying in the village itself puts you within walking distance of Slindon Woods, the deer park and the start of several waymarked trails, which suits visitors more interested in quiet walking and cycling than nightlife or shopping.

For a wider choice of hotels, Arundel and Chichester are both close by, each around ten miles or a fifteen-minute drive from Slindon. Arundel offers riverside hotels and guesthouses within sight of its castle, while Chichester has a broader spread of options including chain hotels near the station and boutique guesthouses in the cathedral city's historic centre. Both make sensible bases for visitors who want to split their time between Slindon's countryside and a livelier town with restaurants, shops and evening entertainment. Wherever you stay, book ahead during the spring and autumn walking seasons, when the estate's woodland and downland trails are at their best and demand for the village's limited accommodation rises accordingly.
