Fantastic few days away
Great stay at this hotel. Room was really clean and spacious - we had a garden room with a door to an outside seating area which was great as the sun was out.
Pool was nice and clean as were the changing rooms and plenty of towels available poolside.
Breakfast was cooked to order if you fancied the cooked breakfast but also plenty of choice from the continental buffet.
Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely staff and nice hotel - clean and nice decor.
There was a lack of staff on the bar, it was a Saturday evening and we had difficulty ordering food. The restaurant was full . We ordered bar food that took ages to arrive and was of very poor quality and cold .

The hotel is set within beautiful grounds of Goodwood estate and is only 13 minutes drive to Chichester and 20 to Arundel. The rooms are large, comfortable and well maintained and their main restaurant, Farmer Butcher Chef serves delicious food. There is always staff on hand for anything and we have felt well looked after. The only slightly negative thing we found was finding our way to our room - I think the corridors could do with more signs as us and other guests were often wondering down corridors looking for our rooms :-D.
