The Star Hotel 

Set in the heart of the South Downs, The Star is a beautifully restored 15th-century inn that blends historic charm with understated luxury. Timber beams, winding staircases and characterful rooms evoke cen- turies of heritage, while thoughtful design and modern comforts create a warm, welcoming retreat. With its elegant dining, tranquil courtyard and idyllic village setting, The Star offers a refined yet relaxed escape in one of England’s most picturesque corners.

This is the third hotel in the Polizzi Collection, run by mother and daughter, Olga and Alex Polizzi, joining Tresanton in Cornwall and Endsleigh in Devon where we have been running fabulous bridge holidays for many years.

Bedrooms

Reflecting the leafy location in the heart of the South Downs, each bedroom is a step into Spring. The 29 rooms have an abundance in light and seasonal scenes - think soft sage greens, warm creams and duck egg blues, branch and oak leaf door accoutrements, vintage mirrors and floral art. Bathrooms are a soothing delight with either spacious showers or a good deep bath, fluffy towels and unctuous bathroom products. Suites add dusky velvet sofas plumped with cushions embroidered with birds.
