House Arundel: Boutique Hotel
Brighton
At a glance
House Arundel is a small boutique hotel on High Street in Arundel, positioned close to Arundel Castle and the town’s cafés, pubs, restaurants, shops and historic attractions. Housed in a Grade II-listed building dating from the 1730s, the property combines period character with contemporary accommodation. It offers a convenient base for exploring Arundel on foot, while also suiting short breaks centred on rest and local food.
The hotel has five individually styled bedrooms, each arranged around a king-sized bed, hotel-quality mattress and crisp white bedding. En-suite bathrooms include walk-in rainfall showers, soft towels and Faith in Nature amenities. The rooms are designed as comfortable retreats after time spent around the town, with the historic building providing much of the setting and character.
House Arundel does not serve breakfast on site. Instead, breakfast arrangements are made through two nearby independent cafés, giving guests a choice of pastries, cooked breakfasts and seasonal, health-focused dishes. Direct bookings can include optional breakfast vouchers, while complimentary Wi-Fi is also available. The arrangement suits visitors who prefer to start the day in a local café rather than in a hotel dining room.
At weekends, staying guests can make use of the intimate bar, which serves cocktails, beer and wine. This adds a relaxed evening option without changing the hotel’s small-scale feel. The overall style is suited to couples, solo travellers and anyone looking for boutique accommodation with a historic setting and easy access to Arundel’s town centre. For visitors travelling from Brighton, it provides a change of pace in a compact West Sussex town with plenty to explore nearby.
House Arundel works particularly well for guests interested in Arundel Castle, local cafés and the town’s period streets, as well as for those seeking a straightforward weekend stay with thoughtful room details. The combination of restored architecture, modern bathrooms, local breakfast partnerships and a weekend drinks service gives the hotel a distinct sense of place without the scale of a large traditional hotel.
