Local area
Petworth is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House and its vast deer park landscaped by Capability Brown. The house contains an internationally renowned art collection with numerous works by Turner. This old English town is full of quaint houses and cottages, interspersed with fine antique shops, tearooms and restaurants; try the East Street Bar and Grill for some expertly prepared local produce. There is a well-stocked Co-op in town, or head to Pulborough for larger Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s supermarkets.To the east, the market town of Midhurst nestles next to Cowdray Park. The Cowdray Estate is most famous for its polo club, particularly in June and July when the polo set meet for the Gold Cup. The Cowdray ruins are also of note, forming an impressive Tudor backdrop to Midhurst. Also nearby, Arundel is another historic market town dominated by its symbolic castle and the rising spire of the cathedral.
Ten miles south, the famous Goodwood Estate offers an exciting calendar of events, including the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood (Qatar Festival). A little further past Goodwood, the cathedral city of Chichester is one of the great well-preserved Georgian cities in the UK, where Chichester Festival Theatre offers a variety of first-class productions. The Sussex coast and its sandy beaches are within a 30-minute drive.

Reviews
Excellent stay!
We had a very enjoyable family stay at The Poolhouse. Location was perfect - so convenient to walk our dog in lovely Petworth Park, and a very short walk to the facilities of Petworth. Carole and Robert were super hosts; their fig delivery was especially appreciated! Would definitely recommend this property and would love to return!
Fantastic stay!
We had a wonderful time at The Poolhouse. The weather was perfect and the pool was a real bonus! We could not have enjoyed it more!
Cosy cottage in a lovely town
Good location, a few minutes walk from Petworth town centre. Lovely town, nice shops and restaurants. Near to Petworth House which is worth a visit. The cottage is quite small for 6 and we had 5 in our party. Bedrooms are good and well accommodated bathrooms. The kitchen is small although plenty of equipment, but needed more mugs and glasses! There are plenty of sockets but to dry hair etc, you need an extension to reach a mirror! The pool area was lovely, although a lot of leaves around. We couldn't use the pool as too early in the year. The owners were very friendly and next door in case we needed to contact them. Lots to see locally including Arundel, Midhurst and the coast.
