The hotel offers very nice and clean rooms, but they can get quite hot and stuffy during the summer nights. The staff is friendly and welcoming, although there were some interruptions during conversations. The location is great, near Bramber Castle and the Downs Link, but the small size of the area can be a bit crowded. The dining experience was satisfactory but could be improved in some aspects. Overall, the hotel provides some great amenities and services, with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms, though amazing and equipped with air conditioning, faced a noisy road that was busy with pedestrian and traffic noise, disrupting my rest. The service was impeccable, with friendly and talkative staff, even during challenging times with low guest numbers towards the end of the week. The location, overlooking the garden in a lovely, sleepy village, was serene and peaceful. Dining offered a great selection of delicious meals, catering to various tastes. However, the overnight thunderstorms somewhat dampened the experience. Overall, a charming stay with a few minor inconveniences.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-appointed, quiet, and equipped with nice amenities, but the location was not ideal with seats uncomfortable and the dining experience was to a good standard. Overall, not flawless but had its ups and downs.

While the hotel is accessible to both the Downs and the coast, I found the seats uncomfortable and the area too small. However, the proximity to Chichester canal and direct access to Brighton were convenient.

The hotel is well-equipped with comfortable rooms, but the noise from nearby construction can disrupt sleep. The service is efficient and friendly, although the location is somewhat remote. The dining is hit-or-miss with chaotic experiences, and the facilities are average.

The hotel is situated in a remote area, away from the main town, which can be less convenient for those seeking quicker access to attractions. However, it is close to a few good cafes and restaurants like the Sussex produce cafe and the White Horse pub.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff was helpful in providing a separate room for a meal before a funeral, but the rooms needed a deep clean and felt rather small with limited seating. However, the willingness to accommodate our needs was commendable despite the room conditions.

Rooms

The room we had for a meal before a funeral was small and not thoroughly cleaned. The lack of space and proper cleanliness made the stay less comfortable.
