The History of the Millstream The Millstream Hotel began its life as three 17th century workmen s cottages, bordered by a fast flowing stream called The Bosham Stream. William Marwick, a local builder, lived here and a stone tablet with WM1701 can still be seen on the front of the building. In 1899, Mr Trevett is given as the owner of The Grange, which in 1919 was leased as a small guesthouse. Adjacent to The Grange to the east, were three further cottages, including the barn-like building, which juts out south towards the stream. After the 2nd World War, the barn became the Bosham Sea School. In 1965 the Grange was re-named The Millstream Hotel and it wasn t long before villagers started calling the Bosham Stream the Millstream. In 1972 the hotel was sold to Peter Stevens, a London wine merchant, who cleverly added the extension to the west of the building, which is now the bar. In 1976 the Wild family bought the hotel and in 1980 they also acquired The Sea School and the other two cottages, incorporating all three into the hotel. They continued to develop the property into the thirty five bedroomed hotel that it is today. Cosy in the winter, with doors opening onto the lawns in the summer... The bar is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink or snack. A log burning stove keeps it cosy in the winter and with doors opening onto the lawns in the summer, our bar is always open for our residents to enjoy. The lounge is warm, cosy and inviting whatever the time or season. Whether you want to read the paper after breakfast or enjoy a traditional English afternoon tea, we are sure you can find a comfortable spot. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and offers a lovely warm atmosphere as you enjoy your dinner. Whether your group is 2 or 40, the layout is flexible with plenty of window tables available. Our gardens are available during the warmer weather for drinks, afternoon teas, coffees and snacks.

Stunning Location The Millstream Hotel is located in the heart of Bosham; a beautiful village steeped in history on the shores of Chichester Harbour. It boasts the Holy Trinity Church which is depicted in The Bayeux Tapestry, as it was from Bosham that Earl Harold, later King Harold, set sail on his ill-fated trip to Normandy in 1064. Bosham offers tranquil charm, a beautiful harbour, a traditional harbourside pub and a local art and craft centre. It is also only a short distance from Chichester and Goodwood, with easy access to Arundel Castle, West Dean Gardens and Portsmouth Historic Dockyards.
