The Halfway Bridge

Award-winning dog-friendly inn between Midhurst and Petworth

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A coaching inn on the main road between Midhurst and Petworth, with rooms in the converted Cowdray Barns and a shepherd's hut. It's from the same small group as the Crab and Lobster at Sidlesham. It suits a Downs and Petworth weekend. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden, with allocated dog-friendly rooms.
