A Boutique Sussex Hotel with a Rich History
Our family took on The Lamb in 2011 when, after a number of months of closure it was looking a little sorry for itself.
It had been put up for sale by its then owners, Punch Taverns resulting in an empty building, boarded up windows, and a pretty long list of repairs, all of which served as a reminder to villagers that they faced losing their local, until the we, The Newbons fell in love with The Lamb, and decided to take a chance.
We were the first private owners for 125 years, so we set about a complete refurbishment opening our boutique Sussex hotel and gastropub to the public in April 2012. We have continued to improve and expand our wonderful building which dates back to 1780, and is Grade 2 listed. Back then, it was no bigger than a Georgian dwelling, including a bar and no more than a couple of rooms to let.
In renovations that spanned 6 years, we increased the number of bedrooms to eight, the addition of a beautiful garden terrace, and an expansion of the bar. With the invaluable help of General Manager Liam, Executive Chef Richard, and the skilled team they head up, our family are so proud to continue to improve this historic establishment.
Perfectly placed in a beautiful village, our Grade 2 listed building is the perfect place from which to explore the captivating county of Sussex. The Lamb at Angmering offers luxury boutique accommodation in West Sussex, blending both style and comfort. This, along with attentive service from our team and our wonderful restaurant, makes for an enchanting stay every time.
But we will never forget the rich history of our building. Each of our rooms are named after a previous landlord, to pay homage to the people who have ensured this pub’s place not only in Angmering’s history, but in part to it’s future, too. Each of our room pages tell you a little bit about their namesake.

Places to Explore when you Stay at The Lamb
There’s plenty to discover when you stay at our boutique hotel in Sussex
The great thing about Sussex is that it’s as diverse as it is beautiful, and we’re lucky enough to be in one of the most stunning parts. Our boutique hotel in Sussex is ideally placed to reach all the things that the county, both East and West, has to offer: the historic towns, the rolling countryside, the bustling shopping destinations, and of course, the coast. Here’s 5 things you can explore when you stay at The Lamb…
Arundel
Steeped in history and packed with charming shops, Arundel is the perfect place to head for, whether you’re looking for a day out at Arundel Castle, or some retail therapy in Tarrant Street. Wander around Swanbourne Lake if you’re feeling energetic, or pop along to the Arundel Wetland Centre to see some feathered friends.
The Beach
When visiting our glorious county, a visit to the sea is obligatory. In summer it’s all about sandcastles, sunbathing and a dip in the sea, and in winter it’s the perfect place to blow away the cobwebs on a coastal walk. Head to Angmering-On-Sea if you fancy a quiet trip to the ocean, or go slightly further afield to Worthing and Brighton for the full seaside experience.
To the west of Angmering is Chichester, just a short drive or train journey away. When you get there you’ll be met with a streets lined with shops, quiet parks to wander through, and a stunning Cathedral to explore. It’s buzzing with culture too; it’s home to theatres, art galleries and live events.
Angmering Park Estate
The ultimate walk in the woods. It’s a stone’s throw from The Lamb and stretches across 6750 acres, and it’s origins date back to Norman times. The forest is beautiful at any time of year, but particularly in the spring, when the earth beneath the trees is completely covered in a blanket of bluebells.
Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre
With rich historical pickings in Sussex, a trip around Amberley Museum is a must if you fancy learning more about it. The exhibits span 150 years, and there’s even a narrow-gauge railway and a bus to take you around the site in style. Amberley’s not too shabby either – set in rolling Sussex countryside next to the River Arun.
This is just a handful of the things you can see and do in Sussex, and all within an easy journey from The Lamb. Our cute and cosy rooms provide the perfect base to explore our corner of the world, and our restaurant is on hand to provide the refreshment!
