The Experience
In the heart of Climping village, the striking 17th-century building has its original layout but with a vaulted green oak extension and seven pretty bedrooms. The lively informal bar area is a grand spot to check out the menu and enjoy a pint of Harvey’s Sussex Bitter or Black Horse IPA. Food is delicious, seasonal and as local as possible, with a good mix of pub classics and more interesting main dishes, plus specials on a chalk board.
You sleep upstairs in attractive bedrooms with fresh bathrooms, beautiful wallpapers inspired by nature and designed by a local artist and filled with locally sourced antique furniture. Two have rooftop balconies with seating and views across fields. You’re just a short walk from the beach and their sister hotel Bailiffscourt where you can pop in for a drink, lunch or dinner. They have a pool so why not book in for a spa day?
The rear terrace is a quiet, tucked-away sun trap, just perfect for a sundowner or an al fresco supper.

Location
The neighbourhood
There are peaceful walks and cycles from the door and the South Downs Way can be joined easily for wonderful woodlands and rolling farmland filled with birdlife. Visit Petworth House, Arundel Wetland Centre or Arundel Castle with its beautiful gardens. Fishbourne Roman Palace will keep history lovers happy and at Chichester you can enjoy theatre or take a boat trip around the harbour.
Local points of interest from Sophie Tanner
- There is a lost village of Atherington off the coast at Climping - follow the lane down to the beach and see if you can spot any remanents - easiest when the tide is out!
- Explore nearby Arundel Castle and Cathedral - both worth a visit, particularly during tulip season
- Antique lovers won't want to miss any opportunity to browse the many shops of Petworth. A brilliant place to find treasures, from books to artwork, furniture to frippery
- Goodwood is famous for its prestigious motorsport and horse racing events and vintage festivals including Festival of Speed, Glorious and Revival - not to be missed!
- Chichester has a fabulous festival theatre, is a city with a 900-year-old cathedral, a Roman past, and is home to beautiful flower festival
- For wine lovers - remember to book a tour and tasting at nearby Tinwood Estate and find out why Sussex wine is challenging the status quo of the champagne world
