A Grade II Listed welcome in the heart of West Sussex

Brookhill House Bed and Breakfast is a glorious family mansion B&B with two guest bedrooms, set on the edge of a village in rural West Sussex. It’s half an hour from Brighton and 20 minutes from Gatwick, but it’s not on the flightpath: tranquility rules. It’s a perfect haven for visitors to Glyndebourne or the racecourse at Goodwood, but it’s a great destination B&B in its own right.

It’s not just the house that’s Grade II Listed – the four acre gardens are too. It has one of those iconic gardens that makes visiting Sussex and Kent such a treat. Accommodation is in two guest bedrooms. The Green Room is a beautifully appointed double bedroom on the first floor, with an ensuite shower/loo and wash basin in the room, with lovely views over the garden. The Attic Suite is a large room on the second floor, with a king-sized bed and a sofa: again the garden views are great, opening up over the surrounding fields. This doesn’t have an ensuite bathroom, but it has a private bathroom – with a semi-sunken bath – just across the landing.

Breakfasts are served in the elegant dining room, with a choice of cereals, breads and fresh fruit salad. The main event can be continental or fully-cooked to order: special diets and requests can always be catered for.

Brookhill House has two resident labradors who welcome well-behaved dogs. The resident dogs aren’t allowed upstairs and neither are visiting dogs: they sleep together in the utility room or on their own in the kitchen.

Brookhill House B&B suggests:

Brookhill House is a No Smoking property, but unlike some B&Bs that issue a blanket ban Brookhill House has a small courtyard where guests are welcome to smoke.
