If you want to do Petworth justice, you may need to stay overnight and make your visit a mini break. With that in mind, we’ve also been hunting around looking for places to stay in or near Petworth. With all preferences and budgets in mind, here is our shortlist.
The Angel Inn
Right in the heart of Petworth and with roaring fires, a restaurant, a pretty covered terrace, and even its own ghosts, The Angel Inn has much to offer the overnighter! Voted one of the Best English Country Hotels, its seven rooms are named after different trees, and are simply but beautifully designed.
The Old Railway Station
Another award-winning venue, just outside Petworth is this bed and breakfast accommodation in the former Petworth Railway Station built in 1892. You can stay in their converted Pullman railway carriages or in the main Station House itself. They have some great winter deals and who doesn’t want to stay in their double ensuite in a Bath Pullman carriage. What a wonderfully quirky way to create a really lovely Petworth experience.
Folly Hide
If you’re on a budget or want to combine a bit of solitude with your visit to Petworth, then what about this beautiful shepherd’s hut? Authentically refurbished, it’s got most things you need but NO TV or internet! It sits at the foot of the South Downs in a beautifully secluded spot and wildlife and walking are a plenty!
Amberley Castle
So you really want to push the boat out? How about staying in a castle? Six miles from Petworth, Amberley Castle is pretty special and has luxury at its heart. Rooms are furnished with antiques and fine fabrics and the castle itself dates back to the Doomsday Book. With many original features, it has an award-winning restaurant and you can dine in either the magnificent Queen’s Room, with its barrel-vaulted ceiling dating back to the 12th century and open fire or The Great Room, built in 1165 by Bishop Luffa of Chichester, with its high lancet windows, open fireplace, oak flooring, tapestry and suits of armour.
The Nook
A restored Grade II listed holiday home right in the heart of Petworth. The Nook is beautifully decorated with old wooden beams and plenty of space. It also has a large private garden and a bespoke concierge service, designed to enhance your holiday experience by taking care of every detail for you. With three bedrooms, you will find it on Airbnb.
