The second floor is used only for storage and is classed as ‘loft space’. Regional Manager's Thoughts The Bedford hotel is near Horsham train station, the site could expand its offering to capitalise on the local commutators with the idea of converting one of the bars into a coffee offering along with food perhaps.  The site is well-kept but dated and would require investment from the publican to add new and upgraded F&F along with décor. A publican that has experience in developing a site and bringing it back to the local community, whilst at the same time thinking outside the box to introduce different offers.   The site is very large in size and has an unused third floor that is empty, this area could be used and developed, along with the unused two-bedroom cottage.   Surrounding Area Horsham is a market town on the upper reaches of the River Arun on the fringe of the Weald in West Sussex, England.
