Cottages in Arun District

"I asked in advance of my visit if there could be gluten free bread for breakfast (I had pre-booked breakfasts). On the Wednesday the person who greeted me (did not see her Thursday) could not have been more accommodating - she was an excellent representative of the hotel. Breakfast both days was very good and I varied what I ate. Because I got lost on my way back one evening I called in at a pub and had an evening meal there. I was going to eat in the hotel but had no chance. The hotel is far larger than it seems from the front. There were ongoing works in the stairwells which is why I didn't give it a 5 star for decor, but there are signs all over explaining this. I really liked the central compass area, the library the restaurant area all the nods to the maritime themes. I had expected to use the pool but was too late or too tired. The hotel is installing an access ramp. A person in a wheelchair at pavement level asked me as I exited to inform reception to 'let her in'. There is currently some sort of access and I think this woman was local, but a ramp will be an improvement. I slept well, enjoyed the room, used free toiletries and made use of the tea/coffee station, hairdryer and tv. I spent the majority of my time in Portsmouth in the Dockyards so the location was perfect. My only grouch was the disappearance of my cheap plastic shoehorn, shich I brought to help me, was of virtually no £value but I spent about 45 minutes turning everything upside down"

"Great hotel. Convenient location. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy check in. Safe and secure. Good breakfast with a variety of choices. Clean and comfortable bedroom. Good sized shower. "

"Tired and patched up in places without any finesse. "

"A lovely visit, in a historic hotel, a little rough around the edges as befits its 4* but former glories"

"As you would expect from a hilton hotel everything was excellent from check in till check out. Staff are all friendly and professional, hotel is clean and tidy, breakfast was superb with everything you ever wanted available. The pool is an added bonus and free for guests as long as you book which is easy, I didn't use the rest of the health club but I am sure that was as well done as the rest of the hotel."

"The room we stayed in was very close to the reception.We could hear people talking loudly which disturbed our sleep in more than one occasion.A sound proof door should be there between reception and the ground rooms to minimise or eliminate the sound.We also found dump in the bedroom walls, towards the main window and the bed sheets had holes on it."

"It’s a good place to stay "

"Lovely foyer and breakfast area. Clean and comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast. Friendly staff "

"Lovely spa hotel with a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the spa facilities were excellent—especially the pool and sauna. Staff were friendly and welcoming. A great place to unwind—I’d definitely visit again. Great sea front view. "
