Conveniently placed on the A272 in the middle of Sussex countryside, this historic 5-star country inn encapsulates a balance between modern sensibility and rustic charm. Halfway between Midhurst and Petworth, Halfway Bridge is suitably isolated for a weekend break in the beautiful South Downs National Park. With its 5 open fires, the modern AA Rosette award winning restaurant presents a warm atmosphere reminiscent of its 17th-century roots. The menu features local ingredients and produce from London markets. The restaurant is also recommended in the Michelin Guide 2014. In the morning, a continental breakfast or a freshly prepared full English breakfast are on offer. Its location is also convenient for links to Guildford, Portsmouth, Crawley and Chichester. The leisure resorts of Bognor Regis, Worthing and Brighton are also just a short distance away.Booking.com

Rebecca, May 2025
Pros (+) The care taken to get us checked in was amazing, as we were arriving late at night after a nearby wedding. The Inn was absolutely stunning, with huge rooms and very comfortable beds.
Cons (-) The location is hard to reach if you aren't driving or willing to pay for a very pricey local taxi. It was also a shame that the vegetarian English breakfast was just the normal breakfast with all meat removed, therefore it's smaller and less filling. It would have been fab to have some veggie sausages available.

Rupert, May 2025
Pros (+) Excellent location, friendly staff and superb breakfast. Room was clean and very comfortable.
Cons (-) Overall excellent. Would have preferred fresh milk for the overnight tray (rather than uht) - it was provided in a small thermos so would have been fine. But that’s a very small issue.

Pros (+) Everything! The staff went above and beyond where ever they could. The room was gorgeous and our dog got a bed and bowl which was a nice addition. The food at the restaurant was top tier and we enjoyed every minute. Would really recommend this stay.

Pros (+) Staff were really helpful and friendly. Rooms very clean and facilities were good. Great cooked breakfast.
Cons (-) Walk from room outside to main building. Not a problem in dry weather but if it was pooring down you would get wet.
