    friendly staff
    delicious breakfasts
    cozy beer garden
    disappointing menu

    Had a great time with friends exploring the beautiful Sussex countryside. We visited the South Downs National Park and Chichester Cathedral, both only a short drive away. The place has a lovely vibe, friendly staff, and delicious breakfasts. Check out the cozy beer garden!

    The restaurant menu in the room suggested a set menu, but the actual menu was a bit disappointing and more classic than expected.

    delicious pie
    cozy atmosphere
    included breakfast
    extra charges
    cold room

    We had a fantastic time munching on the delicious pie for supper—an absolute hidden gem! Plus, the cozy atmosphere made it feel like home. Breakfast was a proper treat too, all included in the stay!

    A heads up though—the meals come at a set price but veggies are extra, which can add up, and be ready for a surprise charge on that coffee if you're a fan! Heating in the room could’ve been a bit toasty too.

    The Horse provided a comfortable double room equipped with excellent coffee facilities and charming decor. The staff were attentive and contributed to a pleasant stay, and the location allowed easy access to the beautiful South Downs countryside and local attractions. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a selection of fresh options.

    Heating in the room could have been improved.

    spacious room
    varied breakfast options
    vibrant atmosphere
    road noise
    limited menu options

    The stay was just the right fit for our family getaway. The kids loved the vibrant atmosphere during dinner and the varied breakfast options were a hit, especially being able to choose both sweet and savory dishes. The room was spacious and comfortable, giving us enough space to unwind after our busy days exploring Chichester's attractions. The only downside was some road noise, but overall, it was a pleasant experience.

    rest opportunities

    I loved the charming decor with traditional oak furniture, soft calming tones, and beautiful local landscape art. It created a cozy atmosphere that was not only inviting but also easily accessible as a senior.

    More frequent seating areas for resting would help seniors.

    delicious meal
    small shower room

    great comfort but a small shower room

    The bed in our double room provided unmatched comfort, ensuring we had restful nights. The breakfast included great coffee complemented by perfectly poached eggs, and the evening meal featured a fabulous onion tart.

    The shower room felt a bit cramped.

    comfortable bed
    high-quality toiletries
    lack of ventilation
    safety concern
    service timing issue

    While the comfortable bed and high-quality toiletries were noteworthy, the lack of proper ventilation in the small room was concerning, especially during warmer nights. Breakfast was a delight, featuring great coffee and perfectly poached eggs, but service could be improved as dishes arrived simultaneously, causing issues with temperature. I also encountered difficulties exiting the premises when a door malfunctioned, which raised safety concerns.

    lovely decor
    good food
    three-course meal
    limited menu options

    Great decor but limited options

    Went for Sunday lunch. The place looked lovely and the food was pretty good, but the menu was just one three-course option for £30 each. If you just want a main, you're outta luck. Plus, no vegan choices beyond the one main. Kinda disappointing. Should be a bit more flexible with the menu!
