The heart of the house is the double-aspect sitting room overlooking Arundel’s historic marketplace – a warm, inviting space complete with deep seating, a restored brick fireplace and traditional log burner. And just seconds away from some of Sussex’s best pubs!

Downstairs, the fully equipped kitchen and adjoining dining room create the perfect setting for slow breakfasts, celebratory suppers and evenings spent cooking with local Sussex produce gathered from the town’s butcher, fishmonger and delis just moments away.

Three beautifully designed bedrooms are spread across the upper floors, each combining antique character with relaxed modern comfort.

Soft linens, calming tones and carefully considered details create restful spaces to unwind after days spent exploring the Sussex countryside, attending Goodwood events or walking the South Downs.

The principal bedroom features a super king bed and ensuite bathroom, while two additional king rooms offer generous accommodation for families, couples and group stays alike.

A Piece of Arundel’s History

Longmace House holds a fascinating past, once serving as The Gardeners Arms public house in the mid-19th century. Located on what was then Mill Lane, the pub thrived between 1841 and 1850 before closing its doors later that century.

Following its time as an inn, the property became a celebrated jewellers dating back to 1770, helping shape the historic character you see today. Now a lovingly restored retreat, Longmace House invites you to experience a unique piece of Arundel’s heritage, perfectly positioned for you to explore our historic castle, charming streets, and the beautiful River Arun.
