The Old Posthouse has evolved into its present day form over the last 160 years or so. The west wing of the house, which now contains the guest bedrooms and bathrooms, is believed to have been built in 1840. The east wing, now the dining room, was added around 1860. For many years this addition was the local Village Store and Post Office.
Numerous other additions have been made to the rear of the property over the years, including the present day kitchen
and storerooms. The Post Office finally closed in the early 1980s and for some time the future of the building was in question.
However, since then it has seen a variety of uses including an antique shop and tea-rooms.
It was converted into a Guest House in the late '80s.
We acquired The Old Posthouse in 1999 and set about improving the standard of accommodation by the addition of en-suite facilities in all rooms and extensive redecoration.
The property is double glazed throughout and centrally heated with thermostatic controls in all guest rooms. We have even installed a solar energy collection system which provides
the majority of our hot water throughout the year in an environmentally friendly way.
Mains drinking water is provided in all guest bathrooms and we
try to maximise the use of home grown and other local produce at breakfast time. We were one of the first establishments in the
area to be granted the Healthy Eating Award 2005 by Horsham District Council.
You are assured of a friendly welcome.
