There are a number of questions that guests
often forget to ask that can have an effect on the enjoyment of
their stay with us at Arundel House Restaurant & Rooms. Often,
finding out the answers to these questions too late can result in a
disappointment that is easy to avoid. We will be updating this page
on a regular basis and would welcome suggestions for items that we
should add here.
Our Prices
We reserve the right to change the price charged for all of our
services without notice. We will always honour the price quoted at
the time a reservation was made, so long as that reservation was
secured with a valid debit or credit card, and written confirmation
has been received by you, from us. Whilst we endeavour to ensure
that all advertising through third parties is as accurate as
possible, we will only honour the prices shown on our website, or
offered by our staff, at the time of your enquiry. We recommend
that you visit our site regularly to keep up to date with our most
current pricing.
We have five bedrooms, split into three styles. We have one small
double, three standard double rooms and our large split level
double room. All of our rooms contain the same features, and all
have standard four foot six inch wide double beds. The pricing is
set apart by the amount of space and light available in the
room.
No. We make use of Mill Road Car Park, opposite the main Castle
entrance, and just 200 metres from our doorstep. We provide
overnight guests with a parking voucher so that you may park here
free of charge. Restaurant customers must purchase a Pay &
Display ticket. We cannot accept any responsibility for loss or
damage to your vehicle, but we can say that we have had no such
incidents in the five years that we have been open.
We do have an area of our restaurant that is set aside for our
overnight guests to enjoy a coffee in the morning or perhaps tea in
the afternoon. All of our restaurant guests can enjoy drinks and
canapes before dinner whilst browsing the menu. We will take you
through to your table as your appetiser is served. You can even
return for coffee and digestifs after your meal.
In the future we do hope to develop this area with informal seating
and a new ambience.
We do play music in the background at all times. During breakfast
we play BBC Radio 2 and for the rest of the day we like Big Band
Swing and a little Jazz. Artists include Frank Sinatra, Michael
Bublé, Jamie Cullum, Robbie Williams, Harry Connick Jr. and Diana
Krall to name a few. We play the music using an Apple iPod, so you
should never here the same track twice. If you are having a private
party with us you can bring your own playlists on your own iPod for
the event.
Arundel House is situated directly on the High Street of this
bustling little town. Evening traffic is quite gentle, but the
agricultural nature of the surrounding area means that early
morning traffic can be something of a wake up call. All of our
windows have single pane glass due to our Grade II listing. Rooms
two and three, on the second floor, offer the most insulation and
do not have rooms above them.
No. We have chosen to equip all of our rooms with powerful drench
showers to improve on the space available in our bathrooms. All of
our showers will happily accommodate two people!
There is one room that we would recommend to taller guests, and
that is room four. It is on the first floor which offers higher
ceilings than the second floor - also allowing the shower head to
be placed higher. The room is one of our Standard Double’s which
all feature beds without foot boards - to allow feet a little extra
room to stretch. Our large double and small double rooms do have
foot boards at the bottom of the bed.
All of our beds are standard UK double beds, which means that they
are four foot six inches wide, and six foot long.
There are no facilities for making drinks in any of the rooms. This
is to help keep the amount of clutter in your room to a minimum,
and create more space for you.
When the restaurant is open, from the start of breakfast until the
end of dinner we would be happy to freshly prepare a coffee and tea
of your choice and deliver it to your room free of charge. Just
call us on ‘0’ on your room telephone.
If you would like to be able to make your own Tea & Coffee,
please ask for us to arrange a temporary tray & kettle in your
room.
This is not a joke, we have been asked this question at breakfast.
The answer is a resounding ‘yes’, we do scramble, poach and fry our
own eggs. However, we do stop short of laying them ourselves.
