Spindrift - Arundel - Traditional cottage sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

This stunning two bedroom cottage is set in the middle of Arundel and on the edge of the river, Spindrift has been carefully renovated making it comfortable and modern while still retaining its charm. The cottage would be perfect for a romantic retreat, you can enjoy walks along the River in the evening or up to the stunning castle through the town.

Stepping through the stable door straight into the cosy sitting room with comfy leather sofas and chairs, there is a smart TV for guests to snuggle up and watch in the evening, that's when you aren't out enjoying the fabulous pubs and restaurants Arundel has to offer... especially the locally renowned Red Lion! The kitchen is bright and modern and the hosts have made everything available to comfortably self cater for your stay including kettle, toaster, fridge and freezer, gas hob and electric oven and washing machine.

Back into the sitting room a door conceals the (very steep) staircase to the first floor. To the front of the cottage there is a twin room over looking the water and a good size king size room to the rear overlooking the town. The family bathroom contains a shower over the bath. Cot and highchair are available for hire, please contact us at the time of booking if you would like to arrange this.

Outside there is a sunny walled courtyard garden with seating.

Parking is available to the just a moments walk to the property in the public car park, currently £7 per day.

Any guest would be delighted with a stay at this idyllic traditional cottage.

Arundel is a stunning town in West Sussex famous for the Cathedral and Arundel Castle both of which dominate the towns vista. The town itself is an exciting mix of independent pubs, restaurants, cafes and eclectic boutique shops. Situated just a short distance from Chichester and The Goodwood Estate making Spindrift an ideal base for Goodwood events such as Glorious Goodwood, The Festival of Speed and the world renowned Revival. Chichester is home to many independent shops as well a high street stores and there are lovely walks around the Roman Walls. A little further along the coast is Portsmouth where you can enjoy outlet shopping at GunWharf Quays and a visit to The Historic Dockyard.

Our second stay in this quaint cottage in the centre of Arundel
This was our second stay in this great little cottage right in the heart of Arundel. (See previous review for more detail). It's perfectly located for shops, pubs and restaurants, and the magnificent, heated Arundel Lido (seasonal opening, so check the website). Free parking on Mill Road is straightforward. The river view from the cottage is a little obscured by work to shore up the riverbank. It didn't cause us any disruption, other than limiting where we could park to load and unload (we used the car park immediately behind the property which you can book on Ringgo or on the pay and display machine. The riverbank work is due to be completed during the summer of 2024.

Quaint cottage in the centre of Arundel
We had a lovely Christmas week in Spindrift. We had seen that this cottage had mixed reviews, but we had a great time and were not disappointed. Thank you to Chris and Sam for setting up a Christmas tree and lights, which made us feel very welcome. Spindrift is an old cottage (late 18th century?), fully modernised with some quirky original features including lots of stripped back original wood, floorboards, and panelling. The old floorboards are a bit wonky in places, but it’s part of the cottage’s charms. Typical of Arundel cottages it has a very steep staircase up to the bedrooms and bathroom. The stairs do need careful manoeuvring, especially when coming downstairs; so, they would be a challenge for children or adults who are unsteady on their feet. The cottage is cosy with good heating and plenty hot water on tap including in the recently refurbished bathroom which has a shower with plenty oomph. Reviewers have mentioned the high kitchen worktops and cabinets – they were clearly built for someone tall but were quite OK for us who are of middle height. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking Christmas dinner. There are views from both sides of the cottage – to the river at the front (though currently a little obscured by work going on to shore up the riverbank) and to the Castle at the back of the cottage. Free parking on Mill Lane a few minutes’ walk away was easy. Small shops for essentials are all just a few minutes’ walk from the cottage. If you go to Arundel do check out the heated Lido which is open at certain times of the year, including Christmas and New Year, and is just five minutes’ walk from the cottage.

Clean, comfortable stay in the heart of Arundle within a stone's throw of the Cathedral and Castle
Absolutely amazing! Spindrift is clean, comfortable and in the heart of Arundle with views overlooking the castle from main bedroom window and river views from second bedroom. Spindrift is just a 60-sec stroll to Arundle's historic shops and heritage buildings. The hosts were attentive and bent over backwards to ensure all our needs were met and our stay was comfortable. We cannot recommend Spindrift enough and will be endorsing it to all our friends and family as a place to stay when travelling to this part of the world. Thank you to Chris and Samantha for making our dream getaway a comfortable and relaxing stay, above our expectations!
