A popular tourist destination for couples visiting Sussex, Arundel is a historic and picturesque market town. It sits just outside the South Downs National Park with the River Arun winding through it. The town is known for its thriving events calendar with independent shops, contemporary art galleries, restaurants, cafes, delightful drinking spots and great attractions. Leisure pursuits include walking across the South Downs to canoeing, boating or cycling; there is something for everyone in Arundel! Arundel Castle is open to the public from April to October, whilst Arundel Cathedral stands majestically over the town and is open every day. This beautiful building is well worth a visit, but be ready for the steep climb up the hill and along cobbled streets. Within easy reach is the rural village of Yapton, another historic location once thriving with smugglers. Within the village is St Mary’s Church, built around 1180 AD, along with local shops, pubs and a bespoke coffee shop all within walking distance. Climping Beach is a nearby, romantic and quiet pebble beach with an expanse of sand at low tide, perfect for windsurfing and dog walking. Less than an hour's drive away you'll find the cathedral city of Chichester, Brighton and the historic Portsmouth. Arundel is surrounded by diverse landscapes for the best of Sussex countryside and coast.

    Pauline and Paul have thought of everything to make guests welcome. And I received a text on the first day to see if there was anything further we needed. The cottage was clean and very well equipped. And a wonderfully quiet location to get away from the noises of the city. Highly recommend.

    We felt at home. It was nice to be greeted by the owner. We will stay again.
