Situated on the foothills of the South Downs; the hotel offers peace and tranquillity in the beautiful countryside on the Sussex Hampshire border. Although today the area has easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports and; by road or rail; to London and the south coast; it is still very much a farming community.
It is ideal walking country; and for guests who want to forget their cars for a while and take to the Sussex byways; there are many delightful villages with ancient churches; manor houses and pubs within a few miles of the Southdowns. There are also wonderful walks on the South Downs with far reaching views of the villages nestling at the foot of the Downs. There are plenty of places of interest further a field; Goodwood with its racecourse and historic house; Petworth with its antique shops and Petworth House; ancestral seat of the Wyndhams; the cathedral towns of Chichester and Winchester.
Southdowns was bought by its present owners in 1983; and has since been sensitively restored and enlarged into the present hotel and restaurant; together with a purpose-built conference centre which attracts seminars from all over the country. Please join us for a relaxing and peaceful stay.
