I found the staff welcoming and very friendly. I enjoyed my evening meal and breakfast. The room was very nice and I really enjoyed the deep bath. I did not like the bright green light that came from a box mounted on the ceiling. It was very bright and I had to arrange my pillows in such a way to block it out in order to sleep. I prefer a darker room to sleep in. Apart from that everything was lovely.

Recommended hotel/restaurant outside Chichester

Enjoyable stay at a good price. Pretty up to date room with a good breakfast. Offered advocado with the full English when I said I did not want black pudding. Croquet lawn. Very friendly and helpful staff. Free EV charging was a nice plus although I think 2 of the 3 chargers were not working. The main negative was the noise of a fan turning on and off outside my particular room (Quail). Was annoying.

Booked this for my wife and I. As it was our first anniversary. Reviews were good and were recommended by a dear friend. The room was full of bugs & dust behind the cabinets that clearly weren’t cleaned properly. So I was very embarrassed, as I try booking something special for my wife but instead after seeing the room like this. We had to go and find a member of staff who had to switch us rooms. As well as they had to notify the cleaner of this.

Relaxing countryside stay

Had a lovely few night stay with my dog! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. Really enjoyed just spending the afternoon sitting on their lovely patio drinking a beer and relaxing. It was dead silent at night, so had great night sleeps. And it was really convenient to all the places I visited (Chichester, West Dean Gardens, South Downs National Park, and East Head). Will certainly stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at The White Hart. I had my birthday during our stay and George was absolutely brilliant setting up a table in the bar for us to have birthday cake and tea. It's a beautiful location and the rooms are lovely. We hope to return soon.
