The Spread Eagle Hotel & Spa

Fifteenth-century coaching inn where dogs join you for dinner

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.
“One of England's oldest coaching inns, dating from 1430, in the centre of Midhurst with an indoor pool and spa. Rooms are in the old house, some reached by steep, uneven stairs, with stories to match: a secret passage and a surviving wig closet. It suits a South Downs break with Cowdray Park steps away. Dogs can eat with you in the bar and conservatory.

Why it's in the collection

Cowdray Park and the ruins of Cowdray House are a few minutes' walk from the door, and the South Downs Way is a short drive south.

Dogs can dine with you in the bar or conservatory, not the main restaurant.

Dogs can join you in the bar and the conservatory for breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner, and on the terrace for tea. Water bowls are placed around the building.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
