Set in the heart of Arundel, one of Sussex’s most picturesque market towns, The Swan packs in historic character and contemporary comforts aplenty. This beautifully restored coaching inn is reopening following an extensive glow-up, and while its warm atmosphere remains unchanged, fresh colour schemes are set to add more than a touch of opulence to elegant rooms, while its dining is being refined with a keener focus on ingredients both local and seasonal.

Always wanted to check out Arundel Castle’s award-winning gardens and storied interiors? This Grade II-listed perch is just a short stroll away. Also on its doorstep are indie boutiques, a couple of great bookshops, and antiques emporiums galore. It’s the perfect base for exploring some stunning countryside and cultural gems slightly further afield, too.

Fancy being among the first to find out for yourself? We’re giving a lucky reader the chance to win dinner for two at The Swan plus an overnight B&B stay. Enter now!
