“Great house in a great location.”

If you are looking for something different then this is it. It is a very old house so there are steep staircases and the layout is a bit quirky, but plenty of space for 6 adults.

“Lovely house, so full of history but still homely and welcoming.”

Thank you for a lovely stay.
Mr and Mr Latter

“Beautiful house, obviously lovingly cared for.”

Garden is a delight. Ourselves and our guests had a wonderful stay.
Falzon

“The place was amazing”
“Beautiful house, spacious, very well modernised in keeping with the house, and in lovely surroundings near to a wide range of activities including walking directly from the house in the South Downs.”

Very important to us was that there were 4 single beds as well as a double plus a camp bed if we had wanted it and a bed on a platform ditto. Too many houses have too m any double beds which is no good for friends sharing

“We booked The Yeoman's House for a special occasion, and it fulfilled everything we could have wished for.”

Beautiful location, gorgeous gardens, a truly historic home. We had everything we needed ...and more. We visited Arundel, the Roman Villa just a few moments walk away, and enjoyed walking on the South Downs. We would recommend Kingly Vale, the Weald and Downland Museum too.
Mr & Mrs Morris

“We oohed and aahed at the house and gazed at the lovely garden settling into autumn.”

We visited nearby Petworth house and village and Midhurst Cowdray estate and wondered the lanes. We took the very short walk on the footpath to the side the house to the Roman Villa and marvelled at the mosaics and walked to the White Horse pub in Sutton and had a meal. We sat on the bench by the church and enjoyed the vista and calm. We watched the pheasants on the lawn, listened to the owls, visited by robins and squirrels. We were rained on and sunned on and just relaxed for a few days. In the words of the song ' Who could ask for anything more?'

“Our stay at The Yeoman's House was very much enjoyed, as we used it as our base for my daughter's wedding at Bignor House on Saturday 24th September.”

Everyone who stayed there or visited was enchanted by the age and character of the property as we were, and had many questions. The house looks splendid as a backdrop in some of the pre-wedding photos we took inside and outside. The wedding venue, the weather (especially as the ceremony was outside) and The Yeoman's House as our home for the weekend were all brilliant.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“My sister and I stayed in The Yeoman's House over Easter weekend with our three young children and had a fabulous time.”

The house is large and spacious and has an incredible history. The kids had an absolutely fantastic time both inside the house and running around the huge garden. With an acre to explore and a trampoline to bounce on they were never bored. We played frisbee for hours in the back garden and had an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday which we will never forget! The owners were very helpful, giving us lots of recommendations of local pubs and places of interest before we stayed. We went to a pub they recommended for lunch which was fantastic and took the kids to Singleton Open Air Museum where we got to visit another medieval house just like the Yeoman's but without the modernisation. It was fascinating. All in all it was a unique and special experience staying in such an old house with so much character and all mod cons that we thoroughly enjoyed.

The property

Probably the best preserved building of its type remaining in England, The Yeoman's House, listed Grade II, is a stunning example of a medieval hall house.

Set in about an acre of garden, the present owners have lavished much care and attention on refurbishing the spacious accommodation and have hit on a great balance between preserving the original features and the addition of more contemporary details.

You'll be delighted at the fine timberwork, vaulted ceilings upstairs and some charmingly uneven floors.

The huge chimney breast in the double bedroom is particularly spectacular.

In contrast, the kitchen is completely up-to-date with striking red worktops and stainless steel units with all the modern appliances you'd expect.We think you'll be impressed by the garden which has been beautifully designed by the owner.

There are an abundance of flowers and shrubs, giving interest all year round.

The only choice you'll have to make is whether you sit out on the paved terrace or under a shady tree, both lovely for al fresco dining on a warm summer's day.

This really is an exceptional place to spend some time getting away from it all.

About the location

ARUNDEL

Worthing 8 miles; Goodwood 8 miles; Chichester 10 miles.

Arundel sits just outside the South Downs National Park and with the River Arun winding through the town makes for a popular tourist destination when visiting Sussex. Combining one thousand years of history with independent shops, contemporary art galleries, restaurants, cafes, delightful drinking spots and great attractions, Arundel has a thriving events calendar. With leisure pursuits from walking across the South Downs to canoeing, boating or cycling, there is something for everyone when you visit Arundel. The town's long and varied history dates back to 1086 when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book and during the 14th century it became the seat for the Dukes of Norfolk. Arundel Castle is one of the longest inhabited country houses in England and is open to the public from April to October. Arundel Cathedral stands majestically over the town and is open every day. This beautiful building is well worth a visit but be ready for the steep climb up the hill and along cobbled streets. So much to see and do no matter what the weather or time of the year, Arundel is the perfect choice, now all you have to decide is "how long can I stay?"

Note: This property has a £100 good housekeeping bond .
Sorry no pets allowed.
