The Angel Inn, Petworth - 4-Star Hotel in Petworth

The Angel Inn offers seven rooms with decor designed by Augustus Brandt. Superior King Rooms and Double or Twin Rooms include high-pressure showers and a choice of bath or shower. The inn also provides self-catering homes for extended stays, such as Ryde House, a three-bedroom property.

The bar has three fireplaces, one used for spit-roasting joints of meat, and serves local ales and an extensive wine selection. The restaurant offers seasonal menus made from locally sourced ingredients, including fresh haddock fish and chips and a vegan roast with grilled courgette. Breakfast includes a cooked English breakfast with locally sourced ingredients and a continental option with pastries, yoghurt, and fresh fruit.

The inn is a 5-minute walk from Petworth House, a National Trust site with artwork and scenic gardens. It sits within the South Downs National Park, offering hiking, cycling, and horse riding directly from the property. Goodwood Estate for motor sporting events and local vineyards for wine tasting are within easy reach.

Dogs are allowed in the hotel, restaurant, and outdoor garden, with pet baskets and bowls provided. The inn accommodates families with spacious rooms and a garden for children to play. The Petworth Festival, held annually, provides live entertainment for all ages.
