The property is just around the corner from the train station and a short walk up to the high street for many dining options. We were able to keep our bicycles safely in a room in the property.
Perfect for what we wanted for a 1 night stay on the way to Goodwood Festival Of Speed, room a bit dated but clean and tidy, staff were great, all-around decent hotel 👍
No charge for parking was a plus.
Would've benefited from having bottles of water to make tea in the room. Cups were a decent size. Staff were amenable.
Beds were comfortable. Appreciate that extra pillows were available in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We have stayed here before and it is convenient for the area. Sadly they lack the amenities- no microwave, fridge, or safe. All the beds are twins and not overly comfortable. They were cleaning the gutters while we were there and the machine was loud and started early in morning making it impossible to sleep. The staff was wonderful and the rooms were clean. They also held our bags for two days while we were somewhere else until we came back.

Beautiful room and extremely clean bedroom/bathroom even given the age of the place. Downsides were not everything was available as advertised and therefore could’ve saved money not upgrading the room. No coffee machine. Staff were extremely lovely and welcoming. Entire venue was very clean although some spaces very outdated and not matching.
Nice kind of quaint older style hotel with a large guest relaxing lounge on the first floor BUT lots of steps up and down depending on your room location. Older potential guests should discuss this with the hotel before booking. Initially booked in a room with a couple of foul-mouthed noisy lads next door and door open. Made an early decision to ask for relocation which was arranged and ended up with a quiet room as we had lots of ground to cover the next day. Breakfast was good and all staff friendly and helpful. Parking more than adequate. Ended up an excellent stay.
Just a one night stop over after getting off the ferry at 10.00pm.
Friendly welcome, lots of parking and a big comfortable room with a bath was just what I needed.
Bar was open and again the staff were great.
Good choice at breakfast and good, attentive staff.
Easy, comfortable and great value stay.
Apart from the hottest night which made it difficult to sleep we could not fault anything made welcome including the dog. Dinner was good breakfast good
thank you
Clean. Friendly staff. Pretty basic, but very well priced, so I consider it a good value.

Disliked: Amenities
My room was like a cell, carpet was horrendous, bathroom absolutely stank, blind had holes in it, such a cold feeling and uninviting room I can’t believe I actually paid money for it!
Our stay was very pleasant, staff all friendly. Room good size, good WiFi, bed comfortable, room and bathroom clean. Buffet breakfast was really good. Enjoyable stay
We had a nice stay pity it was only 1night, had a meal and drinks in the evening our waitress was Amy-Louise she was especially good she was running the bar, serving tables and taking orders she was amazing very busy
We definitely will be back.

As disabled person put on second floor with two flights of stairs and no lift. However the lovely receptionist was able to.move me to a more suitable room for which I was grateful. Toilet doe not flush. Guests noisy above and to side until past midnight when I had to ask reception to intervene, which they did nicely. Pillows are scompy. By 8am most components of cooked brea6had run out. No pastries.
Overall a disappointing stay that I had looked forward to
