Friendly and comfortable. Our room was a good size. There was a very quiet fan which was useful as the room was very warm. The shower was powerful with loads of hot water. There was a great choice at breakfast and, like dinner which we had there both evening during our stay, the food was freshly cooked and hot. It was a great place to stay for visiting the Weald and Downland Living Museum and West Dean Gardens.

Breakfast was great! The location is perfect if you are visiting an event in Goodwood! Staff very friendly! Room and furnishing in great order - seem recently refurbished or kept-up exceptionally well.

An AC woudl have been good, but realise the weather is rearly so hot as it was during our stay, so maybe not justified ovwerall. Atleast the room had cross-ventilation so not as bad as the next night on the same trip in a different hotel.

The beautiful characteristics within the whole building were stunning. The bedrooms are extremely spacious, cosy, and all small details were thought off providing a well stocked hot drinks station, water bottles, shower supplies, a hairdryer and a full length mirror which was the cherry on top. The hospitality from staff was fabulous! The food is so delicious and the menu had lots of choice. The garden courtyard was lovely and direct access to the carpark was a bonus.

Nothing to fault here!

The Staff in The Selsey Arms could not have been more helpful . Nothing was a problem, they helped us with our picnic kept our drinks cold and even left our drink in ice bucket for us to enjoy in the delightful courtyard.The room was immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. We had Both a hearty English breakfast and a very fresh avocado egg and bacon. For us the location was perfect as the local bus went door to door for Cowdray Park. We had a wonderful time thank you

The Selsey Arms staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived in the middle of the D Day celebrations at the venue and were immediately included. The room was clean and tidy and was all we asked for a nights stay. The bed was comfortable too. Breakfast at the Selsey Arms is really good and the staff couldn't do enough for you. I would thoroughly recommend the Selsey Arms to all my friends and family.

There is absolutely nothing I would change at the Selsey Arms.

Friendly staff, very clean and everything you needed. Food was amazing, I am gluten free and this wasn’t an issue, plus our waitress checked everything before it came out of the kitchen which made me even more confident eating there! Highly recommend their Sunday lunch!

I couldn’t connect to the WiFi, but this was the only issue and it wasn’t a necessity.

Friendly staff, comfortable beds, and great food await you here. Ruby the dog too.

My only complaint is minor. I wish the WiFi worked in the room. It only works in the pub. That of course forced me to enjoy a nice cider while in the pub.

- Beautiful location in the countryside - Friendly staff - Quiet and private although on the property of a lovely pub - amazing breakfast, very high quality of food - comfy beds and very clean - walkable access to Farbridge (wedding venue)

Lovely pub, rooms were very cosy and clean. The restaurant is lovely, we both had the Rib Eye Steak, we can’t remember the last time we had such a good steak, really nice food. My wife has food allergies and they were so accommodating and had so much available. I would recommend this venue to anyone, the owners were lovely!

I have nothing that I could add here
