After nine hundred years standing proud in the unspoilt county of West Sussex- known as the garden of England- this fortress with its storybook battlement towers has weathered the attacks of enemies and of time itself. Today the battles of the past have made way for an enchanted peace- but certain historic traditions remain. Every night- just before midnight- the impressive portcullis is lowered ever so silently as if to protect your slumber that little bit more. Indeed- you will be sleeping in a princely suite with a four-poster bed and mullioned windows overlooking gardens full of blossom trees. The food is also fit for a king and is served in a dining room with vaulted ceilings and decorated with tapestries and suits of armour. Take a journey back in time in this uniquely romantic setting.
