Having been fully refurnished to provide all the comforts of a luxurious modern hotel, the Spread Eagle Hotel still retains many of its original features, including sloping floors, inglenook fireplaces and oak beams. The restaurant also features a beautiful stained glass window. In contrast to the historic aspects of the hotel, the Spread Eagle offers a modern spa, complete with an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room and gym.

MIDHURST TOWN CENTRE
Midhurst is a vibrant market town dating back to medieval times, and it has over 100 listed properties, some dating back as far as the 15th and 16th century. There are numerous restaurants and pubs in the town, as well as two international class hotels (The SpreadEagle and The Angel). You can see most of the highlights of Midhurst with a fairly short circular walk taking 35 to 40 minutes. This walk will cover Cowdray House, North Street, the Market Square and the path alongside the River Rother. You can, of course, extend your walk by another half an hour or so and cross the Cowdray Estate in order to view the Queen Elizabeth Oak and Benbow Pond (more on these later).

Advantages: Nights to remember forever Disadvantages: Nasty toilets
I'm a big fan of surprises, how about you? The SpreadEagle was a pleasant surprise, a pleasant surprise sat smack bang in the busiest part of Oxford Street, London. The surprise with The SpreadEagle is the fact that's its very much a local pub, it's a small town pub in a very big city.
To clarify The SpreadEagle is not and never has been a hotel, but it was considered more viable to have the word hotel put into the title. The SpreadEagle first opened in 1818 at a time where pubs opened and closed at an alarming fashion in this district of London. While all the other pubs that have emerged around around The SpreadEagle, this has stood the test of time.
