More best family friendly hotels in Sussex

The Lamb at Angmering, Littlehampton

Between the South Downs and the Sussex coast, the Newbon family’s revived village pub enfolds locals and visitors alike in its warmly welcoming atmosphere.

St Benedict Victorian B&B, Hastings

You half expect to find a chamber pot under the bed, and Dante Gabriel Rosetti taking tea by the drawing-room fire at this 19th-century villa, a homage to the Victorian Aesthetic movement, perfect in every detail.

The Flint Barns at Rathfinny Wine Estate,

‘It would be beautiful in summer,’ said our inspectors, whose tour of this vineyard, on the slopes of the South Downs, was marred by rain.

Ashling Park Estate, West Ashling

‘It felt like we were in France, looking out from the restaurant balcony at rows of vines.’ Our inspectors were transported by their stay on this estate, now a family-run concern with a vineyard planted in 2017

The Ginger Pig, Hove

Across the road from Hove’s shingle beach, Ben and Pamela McKellar’s Edwardian mock-timbered gastropub is ‘loved by locals for its foodie reputation’.

The Pig in the South Downs, Arundel

‘The perfect restaurant-with-rooms for lovers of British bubbles’, this recent addition to Robin Hutson’s Pig litter is surrounded by some of Britain’s best wine-making country and offers ‘plenty of fizz with your food’.

The Star, Alfriston

With ‘first-rate attention to detail’ and ‘efficient, helpful and delightful staff’, Olga and Alex Polizzi’s updating of a historic Tudor inn, in a medieval South Downs village, has undoubted star quality.

The George Inn,

Do you remember an inn, Miranda? Hilaire Belloc certainly remembered this Georgian coaching inn, from which he described setting out in The Four Men.

The White Hart, South Harting

Dog friendly, child-friendly, cosy and characterful, this historic village inn near the South Downs Way has bedrooms that blend quirky rusticity with modern comforts, a menu of pub classics and more modern dishes.

The Millstream, Chichester

In gardens bordered by a stream, the Wild family’s hotel, converted from three 17th-century cottages, a stroll from its own quayside, has well-equipped, country-classic bedrooms, formal and informal dining in restaurant and brasserie.

Deans Place, Alfriston

An outdoor heated pool, extensive grounds, Downs views, individually styled bedrooms and refined dining are among the attractions at this dog-friendly hotel on the banks of the River Cuckmere.

The George in Rye, Rye

In a picturesque medieval hilltop town, behind the street front of a Georgian coaching inn, ancient buildings are subsumed into one smart hotel.

Artist Residence Brighton, Brighton

Bohemian Brighton is artfully encapsulated in this Regency townhouse with its cool vibe, quirky furnishings and neighbourhood café-bar.

The Halfway Bridge, Petworth

At the heart of the South Downs national park, this village pub-with-rooms is the rural sister of the seaside Crab & Lobster (see Sidlesham). It is country but no bumpkin.

Old Whyly, East Hoathly

It is more than thirty years since Sarah Burgoyne first welcomed guests to her Georgian manor house, ‘in enchanting gardens and grounds’, where ‘deer roam at dawn and birdsong is guaranteed’.

The Crab & Lobster, Sidlesham

Overlooking the reed beds and salt marsh of Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, this ‘lovely little pub’ is not a local boozer but a very good restaurant-with-rooms.

The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne

A great white wedding cake of a hotel, this Victorian extravaganza invites you to take a step back in time, to take tea or cocktails to the sound of the Palm Court Strings, dine in style and retire to a deluxe bedroom at prices that won’t break the bank.

The Old Store, Chichester

Matt and Amy Marshall welcome new arrival with a drink and are happy to share their local knowledge and love of Sussex at this 18th-century bakery-turned-B&B with updated, bright and airy interiors.
