Perfect location for the town & castle. Old rambling hotel as expected. The room was good although there was mold in the shower. The reception area was drab & could have been cheered up with minimal effort. …

I believe from the pictures on the website that the quality of the rooms in this hotel differs a lot. My single room was very small and old and shabby. …

A single nights stay saw me not needing much - a comfortable bed and a decent meal amidst two hectic working days (between which beautiful Arundel was equidistant) was all that was required. …

Amazing hotel, amazing staff, manager, rooms (comfortable beds) and restaurant food. They couldn’t do enough to help my disabled and unwell Father and ensured we had a wonderful stay in Arundel. |Arundel itself was a delight and the hotel is the perfect location to take in the charms. Hope to return in the Spring.
