Had 2 nights at this fantastic location (wish it had been more). Had Cathedral room literally opposite the front but quiet. Room was lovely and comfortable, bathroom lovely and shower was great with fixed and hand held. Breakfast was continental buffet. Tea and toast was provided by waitress. Had dinner the first night, food was great with an added bonus of free dessert! Extra bonus was seeing the carpet of flowers at the Cathedral and not having to worry about parking as it was crazy with so many people turning up. Location we found was great but if you have mobility problems then the the steep hill would possibly put you off but by car you have the car park opposite the castle/town so shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe a bit more fruit at breakfast ;-) And you have to get used to the noise of the doors being closed to your own and other rooms. The lock is so difficult that you have to slam it to close!! Maybe looking at a different lock system would be good...

Continental breakfast was lovely. Nice jam , great ham, selection of cereals and mixed fruit. Nice evening meals. Great location opposite castle and next to Cathedral. We had a wonderful two night break, enjoyed the castle and grounds, the Corpus Christi celebrations, the Sistine Chapel replica ceiling at Goring and even found an hour to visit the seaside at Littlehampton. A comfy bed at St Mary’s Inn helped us rest from a packed itinerary.

No wardrobe in room, just a hanger ladder for clothes. ( I always take too many things with me though.) didn’t cause a problem

Great location, cannot fault it! When I went to the tulip festival in the beautiful castle, it led us basically opposite to the cathedral and our hotel! So close to everything :) The pub was lovely, always a good atmosphere. Staff did a good job, friendly and happy to help. Sometimes there wasn’t any staff about (during very quiet hours I think) and I never did find out how to get someone to the pub floor but they eventually showed up after a small wait. Parking wasn’t a problem which is great! Everyone seems so friendly in Arundel!

Everything was great. Just the room itself wasn’t thought out too well, such as plug socket positioning. Two mirrors right by eachother as well, the really big round one should be above the table so doing hair and make up is at the ‘dressing table’ and the TV should just shimmy over to make room for the mirror. Sorted! Lighting wasn’t super either but it wasn’t bad!

We stayed on a Sunday night so was lovely and quiet as the pub closed at 6pm. Comfortable room with everything needed. Parked car directly in front of room. View of pub courtyard and cathedral behind. Lovely, varied breakfast. Friendly staff.

Couldn't get any hot water from basin taps or shower in both rooms. Sign in one room said to run water for a long time but tried this. Surfaces of bedside tables covered in white dust on arrival. Otherwise very clean.

This is the second year in row we've used St Mary's Gate for an overnight stay. We returned to Arundel to further explore the area and visit the castle (well worth coming back for - we ran out of time last year) and this was our first choice of accommodation. The location (at the top of the hill) is perfect and the rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable. The kettle in the room was much appreciated, the continental breakfast was just right and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Very friendly staff, welcoming and helpful. fantastic location, right in the heart of Arundel. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The room was beautiful, and I absolutely love the artworks around the property. We will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, the heating wasn't working, so it was a chilly night, and I didn't sleep much. But the staff did all they could to help. This was no fault of the owners it's just an unfortunate situation.

The room was clean and cosy. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. The Faith in Nature toiletries were a really nice touch. The evening meal was very reasonably priced and was cooked to perfection. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and there was a nice selection. Staff were really friendly and the location was perfect. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Nothing

St Mary's Gate Inn is very well run and exceptionally clean and tidy. The friendly, thoughtful staff made our visit a real pleasure, especially Jo who was most helpful. The bar food is very good. Our bedroom had a magnificent view of the Cathedral.

The weekday breakfast was okay but we'd've much preferred a cooked breakfast and freshly brewed rather than machine made coffee.

Girl who checked me in was incredibly helpful and friendly. Excellent location and the room was perfectly clean, comfortable and equipped - would definitely stay again

Parking (lack of space in the car park when I arrived) - BUT! there was ample road side parking nearby - It may have stated about parking on the website - it's the sort of thing I could have (did) overlooked.

Comfortable bed, well equipped bedroom (tea/coffee etc), very quiet room. Close to town, next to cathedral. Effective shower. Delicious breakfast and good evening meal. Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Kindly allow us to store bags and collect them later on the day of departure. Beautifully decorated throughout.

Slightly too loud music during breakfast.
