History of the hotel
'Cowdray is an exceptional area of West Sussex, nestled beneath the South Downs in the heart of the National Park. The Estate has been in our family for generations and is not only the place we are lucky enough to call home, it is also an area I am delighted to be able to share with you.'
Cowdray Heritage is one of England's most important early Tudor houses. Visited by King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I this impressive Tudor house was partially destroyed by fire in 1793. One tower remained intact and following a recent refurbishment is now a venue for art workshops, specialising in the Renaissance Period.
