HOTELS IN WEST SUSSEX

With over half its land designated as areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a short break in West Sussex is ideal for enjoying some stunning countryside and sunny coastline. With over 2500 miles of footpaths to explore, and lots of West Sussex accommodation to choose from, you can wander, amble, stroll and walk to your heart's content.

Let's start by the seaside, as this part of the English south coast is one of the sunniest places in England. George V came to Bognor to recover from illness, hence its title of Bognor Regis, and book your hotel in Bognor early if you want to see the crazy Birdmen of Bognor festival. Littlehampton is ideal for yachting fans, with its picturesque harbour, clean and unspoiled beaches and excellent restaurants, but make sure you book your West Sussex bed and breakfast well in advance if you come during the popular Regatta weekend. Worthing is the place to windsurf in West Sussex.

Bring your binoculars to enjoy the wide range of birdlife at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust site at Arundel. The kids can have a great time pond dipping, before a quick rest in your Arundel hotel, and off to explore the town's castle.
Hotels in Chichester reflect the grace of this pretty town, with its boutique shops, excellent restaurants and world-class productions at the Chichester Festival Theatre. Just outside the town is Fishbourne Roman Palace, the Roman equivalent of a footballer's residence, with no expense spared on its elaborate mosaic floors and lovely gardens. For extravagance on a grand scale, visit Petworth House, with its impressive Capability Brown parklands and museum-quality art collection.
With all this to enjoy, a short break in West Sussex is just not long enough!
