Bread & Butter Arundel, West Sussex

Property Description

This former bakery has plenty of character and charm, making it a solid option for an escape to West Sussex. Built in the 1800s, it's been well maintained, renovated to a high standard and tastefully decorated throughout. We loved the original features (like the sash windows, fireplaces and bakers’ oven); good-size modern kitchen, with a central island for chatting over a glass of wine; king-size beds with crisp, fresh linens; and the sweet courtyard garden: a real little sun trap. The home's location, right in the heart of the town of Arundel, gives easy access to coffee shops, pubs and independent shops – particularly for those who love browsing for art and antiques – as well as stunning views over the famous castle as well. You’re just a few minutes drive to great spots on the South Coast – less than 20 to Worthing; 40 into Brighton – making this a great spot, whether you're into sightseeing or just atmospheric and cosy places to stay.

Home truths:
*The included toiletries aren’t particularly special so do bring your own
*There’s no welcome pack so do make sure you bring cooking basics
*Although the capacity for the property is six (including one sofa bed), we’d recommend four adults at maximum
*The property is spread over three floors and stairs are steep and narrow. Not suited to wheelchair users or those with limited mobility
*The only dining space is at the kitchen island, which seats three comfortably and three more at a pinch
*It would be useful to have a car but there’s no parking at the property so you'll have to use a nearby car park
*Please be aware that there might be occasional street noise
