Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were suitably luxurious with beautiful views but were uncomfortably hot despite efforts to cool them down. The service was attentive and charming, although there were a few hiccups. The location was amazing, overlooking beautiful grounds and offering unique experiences. The dining was somewhat disappointing compared to expectations. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel offers uniquely styled rooms, each with its own hot tub, spacious and well-maintained. The service is above average and very attentive. The location is on another level, ideal for a luxurious stay in Worthing. The dining experience was good but showed signs of strain during peak times. The facilities are top-notch.
The hotel is a delightful mix of old and new, offering a fabulous bathroom experience but showing some wear and tear with frayed curtains. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff going above and beyond to assist with wine suggestions and amenities requests. The location provides easy access to the South Coast but lacks clear instructions on certain facilities. Dining options were generally excellent, though there were minor issues with specific meal requests. Overall, a charming stay with some noticeable room upkeep needed.
