4- and 5-star hotels in Littlehampton
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Littlehampton, from a 5-star village inn to a seafront cottage with free parking, chosen for couples, families and spa weekends on the West Sussex coast.
Staying in Littlehampton
Littlehampton is a West Sussex seaside town where the hotels on this shortlist sit close to the seafront and the surrounding villages of Angmering and Climping. Guests come here for the beach, the greens and the quiet streets of a small resort town rather than for big-city bustle, and the shortlist is drawn from the town's 4- and 5-star addresses.
The hotels cluster in a few spots: The Lamb at Angmering sits in The Square in Angmering, Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa and Derwent House sit on Climping Street in Climping, while The Cottages by the Sea and Racing Greens B&B sit off Western Road and South Terrace, close to the coast. Couples favour the spa hotel and the inn, families the houses and cottages with family rooms, and short-break visitors the B&Bs and inns with parking and breakfast.
