The Spread Eagle Hotel Review

This 1430 inn, and the market town of Midhurst, are so steeped in history that the room you sleep in and the pavement you walk on each probably have a thousand tales to tell. Curiosities include the White Room, where smugglers allegedly made a secret passage, and the Queen's Room, from which Elizabeth I watched the revelry on the square during her 1591 visit. The rooms here are medieval in character, with beams, small mullioned windows, and unexpected corners. The most elegant have four-poster antique beds, fireplaces, and 500-year-old wall paneling. The eagle in the lounge is the actual one from the back of Hermann Göring's chair in the Reichstag. It was acquired for its apt illustration of the hotel's name.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; gym; pool (indoor)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
