A Week on the South Coast
Mon 7th April – Fri 11th April 2025
A former farmhouse, Abingworth Hall stands in eight acres of grounds, including its own lake and an ancient yew hedge avenue leading to fantastic views of the newly created South Downs National Park. There is a heated outdoor swimming pool, open in summer, and the main house boasts two lounges, a function room, conservatory bar, and 25 bedrooms. The hotel is just a skip away from the village of Thakeham at the foot of the South Downs within easy driving distance of several historic towns and cities, most fabulously Arundel, Chichester, and Brighton. Set in a landscape of ancient woodland, hidden valleys, chalky cliffs, and high-backed hills, there are ample walking opportunities around the sightseeing greats such as Devil’s Dyke, Seven Sisters Country Park, Kingley Vale, Parham House, and the Clayton Windmills (known locally as Jack and Jill).
