Following a recent sparkle, The Welldiggers Arms has reopened its doors and is delighted to welcome you to our charming corner of West Sussex! We’re proud to be joining the Butcombe Boutique Inns collective – becoming the 12th inn in this group of characterful stays that are set in some of the UK’s most desirable locations across the South West, South East and beyond.
Nestled on the edge of the beautiful market town of Petworth, The Welldiggers Arms is a historic country inn that perfectly blends rustic character with contemporary comfort. Known for its warm atmosphere, exceptional food and friendly service, General Manager James and his team offer the ideal spot to unwind after exploring the South Downs, meet friends for a relaxed drink or celebrate a special occasion.
Our 14 brand-new, boutique bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat, each combining modern style with cosy countryside comfort. From luxurious beds and elegant en-suite bathrooms to tea and coffee facilities and stunning views of the rolling hills, every detail has been considered to ensure a restful stay. All of our rooms are dog-friendly so your four-legged friends can join you on your getaway.
Indulge in delicious, locally inspired dishes created by our talented kitchen team – lead by Head Chef, Hugh – who take pride in using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy a hearty meal and a pint of Butcombe in our new bar or restaurant – newly designed to offer a more open, welcoming and luxurious drink and dining experience.
When the sun is shining, our spacious garden, orangery and terrace are perfect for alfresco dining, relaxed drinks or simply taking in the stunning countryside views. Whether you’re joining us for a leisurely lunch, a weekend escape or a celebratory gathering, The Welldiggers Arms provides the perfect setting.
With Petworth House, the South Downs and the coast all within easy reach, The Welldiggers Arms offers the best of both worlds: tranquil countryside charm and easy access to some of West Sussex’s most picturesque attractions.
