The Thatched House No. 88 (1579)
The Thatched House offers luxury bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation in a perfect West Sussex setting. It sits amongst other cottages in a picture perfect setting on the slopes of the South Downs near Arundel and, despite the name, is not thatched. Instead it takes its name from its former life as a beer house and is now home to Guy and Mary Leonard who, having lived in the village for 30 years, moved into and renovated the house in 2006. Dating from the 1800s, the warm interior marries original features and antiques with modern comforts and furnishings that Wolsey Lodge B&B guests will appreciate.

You will be welcomed to West Sussex and The Thatched House by Guy, Mary and their friendly corgi Hollyberry and offered tea in the sitting room where you will probably learn about the latest arrivals at the Wildbrooks wetlands area next door. Birdwatching enthusiasts will be particulary interested in the Bewick and Whooper swans and a myriad of wild fowl that arrive throughout the year and the opportunity to take a stroll in the reserve should not be missed whilst you are visiting West Sussex.

The cosy guest B&B accommodation room is suitably furnished with a newly refurbished private bathroom just along the landing. There is a second bedroom available for family or friends travelling together and happy to share the bathroom. Breakfast here is a joy with local est Sussex bacon, eggs and sausages as well as fresh fruit and, if requested, smoked salmon or pancakes with pancetta.

Your Hosts
The Thatched House is home to Guy and Mary Leonard whose in-depth knowledge of Arundel and West Sussex is invaluable to guests that are new to the area.
