Friendly staff and very helpful. Room was clean and nicely laid out. Window looking out on to farm land and distant views gorgeous. Location was perfect, top end of quiet village. Nice walks in surrounding area. Good choice for breakfast.

Residents garden a lovely idea and outlook beautiful,but... Could do with some TLC. Fence broken,a bit unloved. I experienced noise from a outside freezer area during the night. For the price, I thought the outside of the unit needed some tiding up and the internal side of the door had bare wood and needed attention.

Our room was spacious, clean and perfect for our needs, and the staff were delightful and helpful. The location is idylic. The bar/restaurant was warm and atmospheric.

On the Sunday during the Goodwood Revival weekend, all residents needed to get off promptly to the Revival and breakfast was advertised as open at 8am. All residents arrived in the restaurant by 8am, however, the buffet was not ready until 8.20am which then delayed everyone, and of course, insufficient food to serve everyone all at once. At this important weekend it would make sense for management to ensure the breakfast is ready at exactly or just before restaurant opening time and there is sufficient for all guests who all arrived on time at 8am.

The breakfast was good and dinner and lunch were really lovely. The room was advertised on booking.com as having a coffee machine but there wasn't one. Tv didnt work for first day/night that we stayed and the staff did their best to try and sort but to no avail. Got a new tv on the second day. Some of the decor on the walls was rather tired/dirty. They provide bottled water but no glasses. There are only glasses in the bathroom for your toothbrushes. They advertise as being luxurious rooms but I would say that is stretching the description somewhat. Adequate is more realistic. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

A good selection of quality breakfast/dinner options. We stayed in Flint Cottage which was wonderful. A well equipped lounge area, with a small kitchenette, with a sink, fridge and coffee/tea provisions and iced water in the fridge. Upstairs, a very comfortable bedroom which was very pleasant.

There is a store/rubbish area at the side of the pub, we had to walk past this to get to our accommodation. This area was not in keeping and was unpleasant to walk past. FYI The cottage is not disability friendly, a steepish staircase and the bath was tricky to get into, with no separate shower

The welcome and friendliness of staff - staying at a popular local inn, yet with comfortable, clean and quiet accommodation. Delicious breakfast and choice. Quaint and cute set-up for guests eg guest garden at back with lovely view over fields and the odd small plane flying overhead. Lovely village, church, green and paths to stroll along. Sweet touches for our dog with provided cushion, towel and bowl. We seldom repeat visit a place as there is so much to explore, but we would gladly return here!

Very nicely furnished bedroom and large well finished bathroom. Comfy bed. High quality tea and coffee choices in the room. Breakfast on the first day - 'Eggs Royale' with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce - was delicious. On the second morning the kitchen's extractor fan was being repaired so the choices were limited. We still had most of a full English, yet they offered to take breakfast cost off our bill. A fine gesture that wasn't necessary. The Dinner menu isn't fine dining but is certainly a cut above your average pub fayre. For example, their nicoise salad is made with hot smoked trout and a very good dressing. As a Butcombe Inn the beer in the pub was a favourite of mine and well kept. Staff were all welcoming friendly and attentive.

Wine seemed a little expensive but the ones we had were good. The only criticism I'd have is the wi-fi and TV in the room. It wasn't possible to tune in to terrestrial channels to watch the news for example. Yet you can access Netflix and Prime TV. Wi-fi didn't work at all in the room we were in, but it was fine in the pub.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the room was very comfortable and very clean.Lots of thoughtful extras, hot water bottles and small flask.Loved the rustic theme throughout. The location is fabulous - the stunning South Downs and beaches within a 20 minute drive.Simply beautiful.The Royal Oak is equally lovely, dog friendly and considerate owners.The staff were great - helpful, welcoming and great for local guidance.Chicester is a 15 min drive and it's a really lovely place.

Lovely atmosphere hub pub in East Lavant, a picture perfect location. Comfortable dog friendly accommodation (bed, bowl and towel included for our Basset Hound) with a really comfortable bed (ViSpring), and a well appointed en-suite bathroom. Welcoming staff and good food.

There are a few quirks, not least the room TV which we eventually learned used Amazon Fire because the satellite dish is apparently susceptible to being blown over! It would have been helpful to have been told this on arrival (or in room information) Also due to the unexpectedly good weather, staffing levels in the kitchen couldn’t cope with the demand. We therefore had a wait for food that was close on exceeding the time it would have taken me to cook a full roast dinner! We didn’t really care, but a little more information earlier would have been welcome. That said will we return? Certainly - not least that this is lovely oasis of calm within a short drive of everything that West Sussex has to offer.

Loved the quaint little pub and the beautiful village it is situated in. The room was fabulous and exceeded our expectations. The bed was a king and so comfy I didn't want to get up. Nice little touches included a hot water bottle, fridge, umbrella, emergency pack, lovely toiletries, and iron and ironing board. The place was so quiet and had some lovely outdoor areas to relax in.

The person who booked us in and served us breakfast could have been a bit more welcoming. In hospitality to succeed you have to make the guests feel very welcome and if this had been the case I would have given it a 10.

The Royal Oak Inn was a beautiful place, very welcoming and friendly with much 'old world' charm to it. Our room was a small cottage with a very comfortable sofa downstairs and a very comfortable bed upstairs. The bathroom was nice and modern, very clean and tidy with lovely soaps and creams. The menu was great and the food excellent, we had dinner in the evening and breakfast. Would definitely want to stay there again if we were in the area. The staff were great too!

Everything was to our liking, so nothing to write here!
