The Welldiggers Arms

Excellent very professional welcoming team

Lovely location, great service with happy and helpful staff. Food a bit on the expensive side and limited dinner menu, breakfast was really good. Room ok but the showroom was extremely cold. Everything you needed in the room and fresh milk for drinks. Big plus was a served at the table breakfast and not a buffet.

Great staff, lovely location and view. Really enjoyed our stay.

Second time we have been and loved it yet again

Excellent customer service. Room was very comfortable and well equipped. Efforts to be sustainable. Would recommend.

Staff couldn't do enough for us

Lovely food and a beautiful room with a comfy bed and fantastic views over the South Downs. Slow and surly service at breakfast was a shame, but overall a pleasant place to stay.

Fantastic pub and lovely rooms really good host pub food was excellent quality especially the breakfast and amazing views petworth is also beautiful Slight downside room extremely cold even with small heater mold around shower tray cobwebs around outside light but wouldn’t stop us coming back it’s just feed back

Was perfect

On arrival, we were asked to pay, despite paying in advance. This was quickly rectified, however, the amount the hotel wanted to charge me was less than I had paid. I contacted Hotels.com about this, asking for a refund of the difference and after a few days was told they did not receive a reply from the Welldiggers and so could not comply with my request. We stayed in room 7. The bathroom was much smaller than anticipated, with the sink being in the bedroom area. I didn't notice this on the main website and it was a disappointment having such a tiny bathroom. Photos showed robes in the room, although these were not provided. The room was very cold, as expected for the time of year but we were able to heat it with the oil filled radiator provided. There was a thermostat on the wall but no real evidence of the heat source. The carpet in the room was noticeably grubby. The bed was the kind which zips together. I've never experienced a problem with one of these beds in other hotels, however, the join was very noticeable in this bed. The worst part for us was the fire escape light that was illuminated in green all night above the door and gave us a terrible night's sleep.I expected better facilities from a Signature room. There was no one available for me to talk to at checkout about the room. The staff member was on a call and didn't ask if we'd had a nice stay, just took the key. Someone else said they just worked in the kitchen. The breakfast was amazing, one of the best.

We had a lovely stay here; very convenient bar/restaurant/rooms situated a couple of minutes outside of Petworth town. Positives - Lovely restaurant overlooking the landscape with a good menu selection - Exceptional staff, who can't do enough for you - Great beers on tap (including non alcoholic options) - Lovely real fire in the bar area, with a selection of board games to keep you entertained - Dogs welcome in the bar (supplement when staying over) - Lovely beer garden - Everything in the restaurant/bar well maintained - Rooms overlooking the landscape (beautiful at sunrise/set) - Lots of parking - Great walks nearby Negatives - As we stayed overnight, we had dinner and breakfast. Both meals were sent out with key ingredients missing and nothing was mentioned. When we enquired, waiting staff advised the kitchen didnt let them know but this felt a bit cheeky (especially when they are charging £4.50 supplement for a full english breakfast) - As above. A smaller breakfast is included in the room charge but there is a supplement if you want an actual full english - Room/walls are not well insulated, so take ear plugs - Bathroom could have been cleaner. Ours had cobwebs and spiders. - Whilst there are plug points, they were behind bed side tables, making it awkward if you need to use the hairdyer (not sure if all rooms are like this)

Very clean, tidy and comfortable we liked the bath and the en-suite was great. Bed was very comfortable and room was warm

The excellent staff went out of their way to accommodate my needs. I shall certainly return and encourage others to do likewise.

Whilst the property doesn’t offer room service the staff went above and beyond. I work from my hotel room so they promptly delivered my food for me great service great staff, will definitely use again

We had a room with. Wonderful south facing view over the South Downs. The sound proofing between the rooms is not great 😠

Lovely spot - beautiful views, quaint rooms, small but comfy, cosy warm and well-equiped. Good food, albeit a little slow to be served.

Both the pub and the rooms were excellent! All the staff were attentive and friendly and the views are simple incredible! We had dinner and breakfast there and couldn’t fault anything about either. The mini doughnuts were a highlight! We recommend this place to anyone looking for a short getaway, especially their Sunday stay deal! Hope to book again next year!

Stay was amazing, room Lovley , great thought gone into decor , so cosy too ! Only let down was a small amount of mould in shower which could easily be rectified with mould remover ! Otherwise excellent!!

Had a wonderful stay! The room was great with a stunning view of the South Downs. All the meals we had in the restaurant were delicious and the staff were friendly, kind and helpful. Thoroughly recommended!

Great restaurant and accommodations were also great.
