Reviews and Ratings
I found the rooms quite cozy with the provided tea and coffee, but wish there were more privacy options like shutters. The location was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing stay, though some noise might have affected my sleep. The dining experience was satisfactory with some extra touches, but the wait for food was a bit long.
The hotel was charming, with clean and well-appointed rooms. The location was great for exploring Chichester and the south coast, although a bit tricky to find at night. Service was friendly, with some nice touches like fresh milk delivery. The dining was good but could use more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were nicely decorated with big fluffy towels and fresh linen, but they felt very basic and tired, not living up to the luxurious standard I expected for the price. The friendly staff did their best to make our stay pleasant, but the room didn't match the advertised lavishness on the website.
