The best memories are rarely made in a hurry. Staying a little longer gives you the freedom to experience sunrise walks, relaxed lunches, hidden villages and evenings that stretch into unforgettable sunsets.
Whether you're looking for a luxury hotel, a boutique guesthouse, a family holiday park, a countryside retreat, a glamping escape or a cosy cottage, you'll find somewhere that suits your style of travel. Use our accommodation guides to find the perfect base for your Sussex by the Sea adventure.
Riverside inns & boutique stays — best for heritage, antiques and slow weekends.
Seaside hotels & holiday parks — best for sunny family beach days.
Beachfront B&Bs & self-catering — best for watersports and the kids.
Country inns, glamping & shepherd’s huts — best for walkers and stargazers.
Spend one day exploring historic Arundel, another beside the beaches of Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, then head into the South Downs for walking, cycling or vineyard visits. Every overnight stay opens up new possibilities.
The Arun Valley and coast lines link Arundel, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis, with direct trains from London Victoria in around an hour and a half.
Regular services run along the coast between the seaside towns and up into the villages and viewpoints of the South Downs.
Flat coastal paths connect the seaside towns; the South Downs Way climbs into the hills behind for walkers and cyclists alike.
Coast to castle to clifftop — the whole area sits inside a 30-minute radius, so a single base goes a long way.
