48 handpicked places to stay

West Sussex offers a wide spread of places to stay, from Arundel's guest houses beneath its castle walls to the smaller B&Bs scattered around Petworth and Midhurst. Arundel itself is well served, with options like House Arundel and East Beach Guest House down the coast in Littlehampton for those who prefer a seaside base.
For something more distinctive, The Old Railway Station and Amberley Castle show how varied the county's accommodation can be, while rural spots such as Woodacre B & B, near Houghton, and A Barn at South Downs Stay suit visitors drawn to the South Downs itself. Petworth and Midhurst work well for exploring inland market towns and antiques shops, while Arundel and Littlehampton put the river and coast within easy reach.
