Lovely hotel and area just outside Chichester
Pros:

Lovely hotel and surroundings. Friendly staff.
Definetely recommended

Cons:

Mattress was a bit too firm
My mother 92yrs old was very wary of getting in and out of the shower as no handrail to get out just the glass showerscreen to hold on to.
Could do with some kind of slipmatt in the bath

This was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent; plenty of choice hot or cold. The room was very comfortable and clean. Parking was easy. Staff were very pleasant. The aircon in our room was effective and welcome. I had requested a room near the facilities due to an ankle injury and this was noted on booking and acted upon, so we were on the ground floor midway between the restaurant and spa.

Cons:

The pool was surprisingly small and shallow but clean and attractive. Dinner was quite expensive and heavy on meat as it was from the estate. More vegetables as standard would have been appreciated. Signage everywhere was extremely discreet, ie. small and easy to miss!

Pros:

Wonderful place, full of things to do and explore as well as it has a really strong focus on health and wellness. Loved the art foundation, a very special place for a special event - we had our anniversary there. They left us a lovely hand written message and a treat in the room - small beautiful details go a long way. Staff are great, it’s elegant and also relaxed at the same time, doesn’t feel pretentious or stuffy even if it’s high end and has top quality services, restaurants and projects.
