Historic 1430 Coaching Inn with Award-Winning Spa in South Downs National Park
Historic Accommodations
The Spread Eagle Hotel And Spa dates back to 1430 and retains sloping floors, inglenook fireplaces, and oak beams throughout the building. The 39 bedrooms blend historic charm with modern comfort, and the Courtyard Suite offers a separate living area with window seats overlooking the front of the hotel. The Queen's Suite includes its own sitting room and a separate Edward VII lounge for added privacy.
Award-Winning Dining
The award-winning restaurant serves locally sourced cuisine in a candlelit setting with a large inglenook fireplace and a stained glass window. The menu includes dishes such as ham hock terrine, sea bass, and roast pear with chocolate mousse, with gluten-free and dairy-free options clearly marked. The lounge bar offers a crackling log fire and a selection of local sparkling wine and gin.
Spa & Wellness
The spa features an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and a gym, all set within a separate modern wing. Treatment rooms use Temple Spa products for massages, facials, and body treatments, and the spa lounge offers a relaxation area with robes and slippers. Guests can book spa packages that include pool access, a treatment, and a two-course meal with sparkling wine.
Location & Outdoor Activities
The hotel sits in the historic market town of Midhurst, within the South Downs National Park, with self-guided walking and cycling trails starting from the grounds. Nearby attractions include West Dean Gardens, the Weald and Downland Living Museum, and the Cowdray estate with its golf course and scenic walks. A bus service from Midhurst reaches Chichester in 40 minutes, providing access to the cathedral city and the coast.
Family & Pet-Friendly Offerings
The hotel provides designated family suites and special kid-friendly activities, along with a children's menu at the restaurant. Dogs are welcome with pet bowls, a bed, and a towel provided in the room; the garden and terrace are dog-friendly, and the only dog-free area is the restaurant.
