You can walk free in the park from a secret entrance we know and count the deer - or book a car park space and enjoy the house as well. Unusually the house is in the town of Petworth which is worth a visit in its own right with lovely antique Shops and eateries.

A friendly, cosy local pub with great food. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Worth booking ahead at the weekends to avoid disappointment. Dog friendly of course.
